      No history began on that exact date. Just like the history in ukraine only happened the moment russian troops entered.

      Why if somehow looked too far back they might come to the conclusion that actually the west are the bad guys.

        Here, lemme try; I always had a good Drone King impression.

        "I feel that we uh, have forgotten from where we came, when we give into the kind of anger and hatreds that uh, that blinds us to the collective humanity that we all share. There is, no way toward a constructive peace when uh, when we try to build something without hope; and my hope is that uh, that those who have that kind of anger, will see the light before November 5th."

            The only surprising thing would be techbros actually accomplishing something actually groundbreaking instead of just putting a new coat of paint on labour exploitation.

            What am I saying, their clone would probably just be a man from an exploited country, who they've put in whiteface and slapped a moustache on.

                    Nothing crazy, just a clip of a German version of the Unite The Right rally, some AFD rallies and some other right wing things that were relevant at the time and Hitler saying "now this, this I can work with"

              We can be sure of this because it would require Musk to have invented cloning technology that could produce a new Hitler instead of IV fertilisation which isn't really the sci-fi idea of cloning we have...
              No Musk would actually totally be the type to say he's invented cloning and it's just a worse version of IV fertilisation he's forced some engineers to cook up for him
