Nah, but someone saw a reason to try to troll Elon over his use of two words that aren't even valid pronouns by using two more words that aren't even valid pronouns. The follow-up tweet wouldn't even be funny (or even exist in the first place) if not for the first.
It just occurred to me that I should not be surprised at all that Twitter is a trolling joke.
The development of the human race which led to this thread is something like this:
1. For thousands of years, the vast majority of humans were illiterate. For much of that time, after writing was invented, the ability to write was tightly controlled. I mean, people always want to control others, but for thousands of years it wasn't just written language, it was the ability to even learn it.
2. The, the printing press. But that doesn't immediately lead to mass knowledge, becuase (1) you still need to learn to read, and (2) just being able to read is not enough, you need to learn to comprehend. It turns out that (2) is more important that (1).
3. Radio, and then, TV are invented. Because reading and comprehension are difficult, there is a premium on acting and presentation. More people can be reached, instantly, but its not an improvement because people broadcasting are still assholes. We have two massive World Wars after this invention, and neither Radio nor TV are used to avoid either.
4. The internet is invented. Because of the ability to research, comprehension (2) is more accessable than at any time in human history.
Sadly, just because comprehension is
more accessible, doesn't mean people are
magically any better at it. That's it in a sentence.
Plus, people are still assholes, whether they have good comprehension or bad comprehension.
Plus, people still want to take advantage of others.
So, we made it this far, we will probably muddle through. We won't take full advantage of the internet though.
Its too easy to use the internet to be a jackass, basically.
