When I decided to be atheist I clearly reasoned that if I had to believe in somebody without any evidence I'd rather believe in myself.

If the greatest story ever told and 2000+ years of compounding marketing and outreach had no chance of getting god in my brain and heart, I'll let you figure what are the odds for Musk self-promoting himself via bullying and cheap outreach.

> let people's accomplishments speak for themselves

Musk and all the other 2500 billionaires in the world have as much agency over their so called accomplishments as lottery winners.

When I am in SV/SF I have lots of fun acting and pretending that I am a believer brainwashed too. Musk fans especially throw the most bizzarre parties, only second to crypto-guys. Maybe they hope that the cult leader would show up. I got a private jet ride in a G3 because I "believe in Elon" whatever the fuck that means lol.
