This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Well done. I'm like most people in that I didn't spot it until he started talking about a subject I knew about. The first Tesla Roadster looked amazing^1^, and then the hyperloop sounded like a cool idea^2^, and then oh wait what's he saying about software development now?

^2^ except it doesn't work
It wasn't anything specific, it's just... the idea of this guy being the real life Tony Stark didn't pass the smell test. Not because he didn't seem bright, but because I couldn't believe ANYONE lived up to the hype that Elon had.
That and... well... the idea of the Private Corporation coming to save the day and guide us into a Utopia sounded way too much like a Libertarian Fantasy.
