Pretty normal for Elon: big promises, generate interest and funding, then fail to deliver. But by that time, he’s got his trillion-dollar paycheck and is working on his next scheme.

We used to eliminate Nazis, not invest in them.

"We used to eliminate Nazis, not invest in them."

US history is more complicated than that, and aside from those four years of hot war, more ambiguous.

Henry Ford was a big Nazi sympathizer, and the Apollo program was led by an actual card-carrying Nazi engineer with a history of overseeing slave labor in a concentration camp.

Which is not meant to defend Nazis, just correct the myth that the US was once somehow morally pure in this regard.
