North Korea’s army which, whilst having a stranglehold on available resources in its threadbare economy, hasn’t seen combat since the 1950s. Its actual combat readiness may fall short of its rhetoric.

That also happened to the avant-pop musician Momus (in Greece, some time in the 90s). It was featured in a BBC documentary, IIRC.

Is the BDS movement classified as a terrorist organisation? What about ANTIFA?

It’s a good thing that Musk is only a hereditary meritocrat, a person of mediocre ability able to buy his way into the ranks of the great, and having been surrounded by claques of sycophants for his entire life, having lost any capacity for self-criticism.

If this was a phone poll, it would be biased by the likelihood of respondents to answer phone calls from strangers, which is to say, towards older people (who are presumably more likely to answer in the negative). For one, I suspect that disproportionately few Taylor Swift fans (to name one celebrity who would be relevant to the question) would have been counted.
