LOL thank you. Ya' wanna' argue with Elon and a bunch of urban,
flatland hillbillies about your *"entitlements"*, er <cough cough>,
*"rights"*? I seriously believe you'd have better luck arguing with the government. Which is to say, not much. Whatever deal you think you have
a contract signed by Musk isn't worth the electrons that were
inconvenienced by sending you that message. Most likely it has more than sufficient: ifs, ands, and buts.

After doing about zero due diligence. Imagine that. What could *possibly* go wrong? If they ever get the deal done it probably won't be
at the original price. The people who are going to finance the deal are probably listening to Elon talk the price down and reacting about the
same way you would expect a bunch of bean counters to react.
I reminded myself of the Pleasant Hill Hillbillies and I got to wondering what happened to them is this era a racial sensitivity. They
decided that the name had been a mistake all along. They're actually the Pleasant Hill Billies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleasant_Hill_High_School_(Oregon)
"The school's mascot is the billy goat and its athletic teams' nickname
is the "Billies". Formerly the teams were known as the Hillbillies, but
only for three years in the "Ma and Pa Kettle" movie era. An early
publication of the school in the 1920s was The Goat's Gazette, showing
that the original team name did refer to the goat, not
"hillbillies."[5][10]"
I think someone has their dates mixed up. They were still using Hillbillies well after Ma and Pa Kettle and the Beverly Hillbillies,
back when I lived in that area, late in the last century.
