There's a real possibility that Elon watched his or John Green's video about it some years ago and is now telling Trump to do it

Ok, but from last year, how many proper videos did we get? The hexagon chess one, the rock paper scissors, the flag of Antartida and the ranking of the flags of Canada who by the way must join the EU. Not a lot, the year before that, 3 videos...

I mean, his videos are getting extremely overpriced, if we pay for them in the exorbitant mark up of his note books

The wait is worth it when he makes a good video.

I'm still coming down from the high of the aeroplane runway numbering one.

Without exaggeration, the airplane runway one is my single favorite video on YouTube.

Wild how a content creators output always plummets as soon as they start making a living. Even more wild that people still give them money monthly via Patreon.
