There might literally not be one single person on the planet less qualified to speak to the issue of "reasonable spending" than the guy who spent $44 billion dollars to make everybody hate Twitter.
I think he made that up after the fact once it became abundantly clear how dumb hyperloop was. US states, generally, don't need the help of a billionaire to stay car-brained public transport deniers.
Ehh, everybody already hated it before but they hated it while using it.
He made everybody hate it in a way that was different enough to actually kill it (slowly). It's already the same as seeing a greentext to most people at this point.
there were always tripcode users (basically verified users even though it wasn't really verifiable) on 4chan, they posted the most cringe things and were hated by everyone, so pretty much the same as blue-checks. Q of Qanon fame was one of those.
