Bill Maher doesn’t really exist on the cultural landscape in Australia, however my impression is he’s just as interested in his own myth making as the likes of Musk, a kind of symbiotic reinforcement.

Many of these facts about Musk are glossed over because they don’t fit “the legend”.

It feels like “it’s simple” has become the clarion call for complex issues and “it’s complicated” the go to cover story for brutal simplicity.

Great job in laying out some salient facts so succinctly.
