It's better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. (lemmy.world)

In Russia they would say "how do you like that, Elon Musk?" as a mockery of something technical made in a really clumsy way. Without the mocking intonation it would mean that the thing should impress Elon Musk. Meaning Elon Musk had something resembling a cult of personality, a bit like Steve Jobs (interesting how these cults never form around people really comparable to bloody Columbus, say, Unix fathers, Bill Joy, Fabrice Bellard).
