philosophy

I actually typed that before finishing the article lol

Admiral Motti: Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebels' hidden fort—(gasps as Darth Vader chokes him with The Force)

This seems interesting as an allegory for Elon Musk. He's ready to force choke (primary) any republican than stands up to him, but at the same time, his grok isn't going to find any fraud, stolen data tapes, or rebel bases, his spaceships arn't going to be on Mars any time soon, his fully self driving isn't going to fully self drive any time soon. He really is there just to be a threatening authoritarian, and it's not clear to me if the ancient religion in this context would be his failing companies, nazism, the vague concept of scifi, or a synthetic simulacrum of the aforementioned (aka his brand).

strangely enough, if we decided to follow this allegory to it's end, then Elon Musk will reunite with one of his estranged children, realize the wrongs of his ways, throw Trump over a balcony, then die.
