It used to be the case that, no matter how rich you were, even the super rich were stuck in traffic just like us regular shmucks ( unless they could take a helicopter, but that's often not possible). A lot of Elon's ideas seem based around getting him, personally, out of traffic (hyperloop, boring, rocket transport, and now this). I think we're heading for the day soon, when most of us will be stuck in a traffic jam, and we'll all look up to see a billionaire flying over us in this.

Can he change it so that he's not the supreme head of the Church with unlimited power? Or I guess that would just be a contradiction for the "universal" Catholic Church.

Has anyone ever suggested putting a term limit on the pope? It seems like a real problem for the institution that they're almost always old men near the end of their life.

Hmm, how is it doing that calculation? 100,000 miles at 25mpg is 4000 gallons. At $5 per gallon (rough average) that's still just $20,000, and a bolt costs $30000 new. Might work in california or Europe, or if you get a used Bolt though.
When stuff like this happens, I think back to my time in the boy scouts 30 years ago. Or rather, cub scouts. Our den leader was a woman, and women weren't allowed to lead boy scouts (age 12 up), and the couldn't find a guy to do it, so the whole thing just disbanded once i hit age 12.
It was basically an after school activity. We sang songs, ate snacks, and made crappy home ornaments with glue and paper mache. No woodworking, no camping, definitely no knives or guns. It was very much not a macho activity. I feel like making it coed would have been... completely fine and natural actually?
There's probably a place for a more "hardcore" scouting that's boys only, but that was not my experience with the group.
