Naw mate, none of this is an accident. Back when the media was still fascinated with every single thing Elon said like he wasn't just a bog standard South African nazi, he was fulimating about his race war demographics fantasies and he said right into a camera that stabilizing global white birthrates (so we don't lose the race war, have I mentioned the media pretended this guy wasn't a Nazi for like twenty years?) required keeping you "poor, ignorant, and religious."
This is a plan mate.
