World's richest meme lord Elon Musk, pictured here with his loved ones

Old man in denial and mercury poisoning in fish expert Bill Maher had Elon Musk on his show this week. The whole thing is just beyond cringe.

Look, I know you don’t want to watch this. I don’t want to watch this, either. But here we are.

Bill Maher: “My first guest made electric cars a thing. Is currently working on reusable rockets, space travel, connecting the human brain to computers, connecting cities with electromagnetic bullet trains, the Starlink satellite system that is so important to the war in Ukraine. And then on Tuesday… he’s gonna work on that tunnel thing for traffic. He also tweets a lot.”

So right away you know Maher is deeply uniformed and gulping Kool-Aid here. It gets worse.

Bill Maher: “You have talked about this woke mind virus in really apocalyptic terms. …First of all, what is the woke mind virus?”

I will spare you the answer.

Elon Musk later explains the power of technology.

Elon Musk: “I think technology is the thing that causes these big-step changes in civilization. So obviously, you have things like, say, the Gutenberg press, for which it was very difficult to get books, it was very rare. Even if you had a real thirst for knowledge, you couldn’t really do anything about it because there were very few books to read. So, uh, and the Internet is something beyond the Gutenberg press, I think.”

Deep thinking, there. Like listening to Plato.

Later, Elon Musk explains we aren’t running out of resources. Honestly, I don’t have the patience to listen to this imbecile again to go back and transcribe it, but he assures us that 70% of the Earth is covered in water, desalinization happens all the time, and we’ve got plenty, plenty, plenty of water.

I’ll just leave this here.

Bill Maher does, to his credit, deliver what I believe should be the capstone to his career:

Bill Maher: “It’s so EASY to get cancelled! And I don’t know what pisses them off so much, these kids!”

I wonder why, Bill. Wonder why.
