Outline We were young once, and dumb I never understood racism The great big world made of ticky tacky, everyone is just the same Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of meth Blue lights, silver bracelets That girl is special From village to clachan The unexpected road most traveled The wilderness was there The final death of innocence 30 year scotch and the bitters Fight night A van in the woods, wallowing in despair The wisdom of woodland creatures Cancer and regret Death on a mountaintop day

It's always worth reminding Musk's fan boys that these are the brilliant men who founded Tesla. Elon was just a series-A investor who bought in, then sabotaged the company enough until these men were pushed out, then he spent the next ten years telling everyone he founded Tesla. This is a picture of Mark Tarpenning and Martin Eberhard. They founded Tesla. You know, in case you thought it was someone else.

Background Came from blood money in the wars, the family was one of the most feared in its homeland. In its new land, it was mocked ruthlessly but still held massive power and sway - yet could not use its normal tactics of killing and burying the enemies. Had to buy up the media, make them invisible, use it to make them look like public enemies, and then silence them completely in the public eye while working with lawmakers to deconstruct the state’s protections.
