This is the same guy who loves Iain Banks' Culture novels while somehow remaining oblivious to their strongly leftist and anti-capitalist stance, and just sees "cool spaceships go pew pew". He's a complete moron.
He's Veppers.
I started reading that series recently. I was aware that Elon is a fan and named multiple SpaceX modules after Culture ships. Absolutely blew my mind and made me realize how dumb he is, since The Culture seems like the opposite of everything he stands for. Plus some very pro trans messages IMHO.
The Culture is Fully Automated Luxury Gary Space Communism, and all he saw was AI ships have funny names.
Set course... for Gary Space.
He also says he loves the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which is extremely anti-corporate and portrays every AI as flawed, an asshole, or both.
Except the doors; they were perfect.
sighs with the satisfaction of a job well done 😮💨
