Elon Musk is just another hypocritical right-winger who doesn’t actually believe what they say they believe. They self-victimize themselves while victimizing the left. They let hateful right-wing crazies say anything and everything they want while censoring the left.

Carl Sagan is one of my personal heroes. I am so angered by this I can’t write a coherent post. How dare Elmo invoke Sagan

Sagan would not think highly of musk.

I wonder if Sagan would’ve said that these days when false information is so prevalent. I mean it’s almost never just a fallacious argument, there’s a whole alternate reality. Some arguments really don’t deserve addressed.

Sagan died before Social Media, he had no concept of how bad things have gotten thanks to Trump and Alex Jones.

Freedom of speech is important, but I will also pay $44bil to halt the EVIL LEEBURUHL AJENDA!

I miss Carl Sagan more and more every day since Trump’s ascension to power. “The Demon-Haunted World” should be required reading for every American, no ifs, ands, or buts.
