Apparently he's confused by the idea that we can eat the stuff we used to feed to cows.

What a strange thought. How would you define the driving factor behind any food consumption other than forced?

Lol they aren't trying to actually reduce expenses. If they did there's clear places to go (we don't seem to want to use our military, why do we spend 1/3 of our national budget on it?).

The goal is to inject confusion and uncertainty into everyone's lives and to pwn the libs who think government is capable of doing good.

Mostly beans, wheat, and oats, in different form factors. More salads.

Your body only requires a tiny amount of protein and that's also the easiest thing to replace.

Modern fake meat is not super distinguishable anymore. The stuff you buy at the market I mean, not the stuff that is sold at restaurants even when the brand is same (maybe restaurant cooks just don't know?)

The price of alternative bean juices is pre-gouged. It does not take $8/gallon to blend oats. It does not take $8/gallon to blend soybeans. It costs far far far more than $4/gallon to raise a cow, keep the female cows pregnant, destroy the male calves that result, and feed the cows sufficiently to both raise another living cow (50% of which are immediately trashed) and produce viable milk.

It only costs $4/gal right now because we are paying for you with our tax dollars.

Yep

The article literally says "110" which is indeed above average. Furthermore, I don't think anyone is underestimating Elon at this point: he built a cult of personality over twenty years that last to this day (smaller than it was a decade ago, but still there) and he bought the presidency.

He can do all those things and not be generally smart. His skill, like trump's, is lying in a distracting way. Neither of them is likely to ever invent a new thing or necessarily even be good at anything else. But they don't need to, society values distracting liars above most everything else.
