    I would say they seek attention in different ways.

    Elon has shown he can gather investors to sink money into a failed venture (twitter) and skirt the law when it benifits investors (Tesla)
    while Trump has shown he can be the beacon of pure capitalism, letting businesses run things their way for quarterly profit and shareholder value with little regard to long term sustainably.

    Donald Trump is a showbusiness star and real estate agent running for president, it’s not like it wouldn’t be a part of the gig for him, up until he stops being a president or presidential candidate. I actually didn’t know who Donald Trump was until he began to run for president. Elon Musk is a different story.

        That was surprisingly common in the days of steam…

        Here is a famous incident

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_at_Crush

        And here is a WTYPpod episode about it:

        They did, but he is omitting important information: The railroad company themselves did it, with empty trains.

        Sorry I meant the old stuff, not the idiot from 2024 derailing trains.

          Bullshit. Why on Earth would BNSF do that? They want to make money, not send some random teenager in Nebraska to jail

            Sorry this is a mix of old and new. They did it a few times back in the day with steam locomotives on purpose.

            The new stuff was an idiot risking lives of others.

          Criminal mischief? For derailing a train? What’s next, arrests for “being rude” when demolishing the town hall?
