Yea, it wasn’t an ocean of stupid so much as Elon dangling the idea of a better alternative like the esca of an angler fish with the intention to gobble up the plans for the train project.

A) I applaud you for your masterful continuation of the pelagic theme of this discussion about Elon porpoisely allowing this project to flounder into Davy Jone's locker.

B) TIL that an anglerfish lure is called an esca and that a sufficiently literate person can seamlessly weave such an unusual word into this net of fishy discourse.. Bravo!

Never be surprised at what you may catch sight of in the ocean that is called The Internet

It's not even like trains are his white whale, he's just trying to break any alternative to cars before they can catch on

"Better" he hyped up a stupid economically non viable shit so his car company can stay relevant
