I don't know how this asshole became the patron saint of nerds, because I feel like if you value science (or human lives) you can't put Ol' Musky on a pedestal.

Because while many nerds like the idea of science, to the extent of wearing Girl Genius t-shirts at least, their actual understanding is superficial and they don’t have much interest in learning. What they really like are shiny techno-toys.

Please understand that I totally include myself in this group. I’m not dumb, but proper science, when you or other people discuss it on SE, seems much too hard work. Far easier to just set myself against climate deniers and flat earthers.

He put effort into becoming a meme on places like 9gag. I guess that helps?

In what ways is he diminishing science, or threatening human life? (Other than the light pollution from the article.) I'd like to know why you are so mad.

That's just an anagram of dope.
