What's great about this, and Stephen Fry is brilliant, is not that he's absolving Musk, or that he's criticizing Tesla, but that it is an argument likely leading to Elon Musk protesting,

'No, my cars are good enough that I can be a Nazi!'

See what I enjoy about this comment is all things considered there's a high likelihood you will live past the age of 60 at which point I hope younger people then call you a piece of shit on the daily simply because of your age. LOL

Did you really miss what I was saying there by that much?

The probability is that, as you age, your ability to change you attitudes in order to keep up will slow down to the point where you will seem regressive and problematic to 20yo children when you are 60.

The era that my parents grew up in would seem awful to most people now, but my parents were unaware that there were problems, and they have a hard time seeing a lot of them now.

I don't know about you, but that sounds miserable. And what makes you think that you will be excluded?

Shhh that's not important now. My goal is to outlive all of you, that's my solace.

But. Then you would be the 60 year old asshole? Are you thick or did you not think this through?

I revel in being the 60 year old asshole. 13 more years!
