Episode 565: Elon's K-Hole Adventures

Bart and Norma discuss pennies finally going away, people who are friendly to a fault, and Elon should not be allowed to give presentations in addition to not being interviewed. He's an idiot that spent his life failing upwards. I will choose that hill to die on...Musk is super wealthy despite his lack of intelligence. He's a white-supremacist man-child in my opinion and have yet to see any indication of his brilliance.
