Elon Musk Says He Took His Children to Watch the Common Folk Hoard Supplies in Panic

In the world's best example, two wrongs don't make a right, and that's what Musk says he took his kids to see.

During his Q4 earnings call this week, Musk compared the global chip shortage to the toilet paper shortages that hit during the early days of the Pandemic and still plague certain areas.

According to a transcript of the call, Musk said that there was a toilet paper shortage but that it wasn't a great need for ass wiping. I took my kids to H-E-B and Walmart in Texas because I was wondering if it was a real thing. It was indeed.

Musk said that if the end of the world was really coming, it wasn't exactly the kind of thing that would help anyone survive.

Musk said that toilet paper was the least of his problems.

Wipe Yourself

Is Musk not being sensitive to non-rich people who have to worry about the real consequences of a real epidemic?

Yes.

Is it pointless to buy toilet paper?

Also, yes.

Two wrongs don't make a right. In the 4 week period ending in March of 2020, TP demand was up 112 percent from the year before. Stores wouldn't have to limit how many packages a customer could buy if everyone bought what they needed.

All that toilet paper is made from wood pulp, a resource that we should be trying to use less of, not more.

Musk is right, but that doesn't mean he needs to sound arrogant.
