Bullshit it is!
I love the fact that everyone is an expert and they all predict amazing things until it goes pear shaped then they think they are being incisive and cutting edge by suggesting it might be bad for a while then at the first hint of an upside go back to saying things will be amazing and new all time highs blah blah
But its Elon Musk's fault :OD
Well. Elon Musk does kind of say lingering stench in a way. Maybe he's just like, The Best Troll Ever.
