yeah no, i believe you, but i personally didn't know about it.

What i don't understand is, how is Musk's intervention, unhelpful and stupid, affecting anything in the UK?

Hardly any of these comments are about musk, the vast majority are questioning the tone of the episode given the subject matter

I think you're missing the point. Elon's tweets are, well... Elon tweets. And pointing that out is worthwhile. My frustration (and the frustration of many) is that Jesse seemed to be using the fact that Elon tweeted soma dumb shit about it as a reason to dismiss the issue entirely as "old news", which (based on what I've seen) is an unwise characterization.
