What a badass. Hope it pans out well, can't be an easy mission. Hope they actually have some friends that support them through this, seems like it would be dangerous.

Good on her, it's one thing to talk shit when you have no stake in it but it's a whole other ball game to recognize your privilege and willingly spurn it. On another note I know its not the point of the article at all but I found it funny that Elon is the worlds richest man and yet can't seem to afford a decent suit.
