    “One of the major difficulties Trillian experienced in her relationship with Zaphod was learning to distinguish between him pretending to be stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid because he couldn't be bothered to think and wanted someone else to do it for him, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that he actually didn’t understand what was going on, and really being genuinely stupid. He was renowned for being amazingly clever and quite clearly was so-but not all the time, which obviously worried him, hence, the act. He preferred people to be puzzled rather than contemptuous.”

    The fact that billionaires can apparently just deny access to safety inspections for their businesses kinda makes it seem like the billionaire has more power than the safety inspectors. And that should definitely be the other way around. They shouldn't need permission. They should be able to get police to accompany them and force their way in if necessary.
    But that would require police to be protecting the people in the business instead of the business property so I can see why we don't do that in America.

    This is arguably the nicest breakdown of Elon Musk that John Oliver could’ve done. John completely skipped over how Elon proposed the hyper loop, which was suppose to “replace highways”. Originally conveyed as the future of public transport, the project ultimately produce a small underground tunnel that people would take a Tesla Uber through. It was a thinly veiled distraction from a proposed high speed train in California that would have provided both a cheap and environmentally friendly option. I think that example ultimately encompasses what Musk has always been. A guy who is constantly spoke about as an innovator trying to save humanity, but always doing it by the most costly means to society that only benefit a few people and distract from the wider more effective sweeping changes.

    Here’s another fun Musk-related story from this year. Here in Sweden, Tesla’s management got into a feud with their workers who want the company to enter a collective bargaining agreement, as is fairly standard here; they’ve been requesting it since 2018. Tesla refused, claiming they offer better terms than such an agreement. The workers disagree, and have gone on strike, with support from the union they belong to. Since then, more unions and workers in other Nordic countries have joined the strike too. It’s still ongoing as of this writing, and Musk has not been happy about it
