If this isn’t a boring computer simulation of unimaginable proportions and we are in “base reality”, what is base reality? Where the fuck did this all come from and why is it here?

Is Elon Musk a fraud and a snake oil salesman? It sure seems so, hyping up the public for stuff that'll never come. He's a great salesman and a excellent marketeer, but will he get us to Mars? No, i strongly doubt it.
