    I originally saw a story about it that made its way to The Guardian’s opinion section that had mostly turned into some sort of rant about wealth. Someone submitted it to the Threadiverse.

    I pulled up a more astronomy-based source, submitted that instead, and commenters on the Threadiverse went through and decided that the original paper – not peer-reviewed, on Arxiv – was basically horseshit. Let me link to my submission, just a sec.

    EDIT: Here you are.

      I’ll also add that while I was kind of irritated constantly listening to people constantly praise and laud Musk back when he was saying progressive things, now that he’s saying conservative things, listening to people constantly portray him as Hitler reborn is getting even-more-obnoxious than when he was constantly being cheered. I’d kind of like to stop hearing about him so much. He really does not matter to anywhere approaching the degree of news coverage he gets.
