      What can we do? The people with the majority of the money and power believe he’s the second coming of tech Jesus. My own father, who cannot conceive of affording a cybertruck, took it personally when I mentioned the factual issues those rusting eyesores have. What am I to do against such reckless and willful ignorance?
