The Elon Musk Fan Club, on the other hand, has publicly supported Musk’s decision. This group unofficially includes anyone who’s ever tweeted about electric vehicles or watched a rocket launch while enjoying gourmet popcorn. They argue that the billionaire is simply using his influence to ensure his resources are directed toward equipping kids with the skills they’ll need in a future where recognizing which berries are safe and driving electric vehicles will be crucial.
At the grassroots level, responses among Scouts have been mixed. Some are excited about the prospect of learning space navigation, while others are just happy that their annual cookie sales might now include a line of Tesla-branded treats—“Model S’mores,” featuring sustainably sourced chocolate and a hint of Martian dust flavoring.
However, traditionalists within the organization lament the shift, mourning the days when all a Scout needed was a sturdy pair of boots and a map. “Next thing you know, they’ll be replacing our tents with miniature biodomes,” grumbled one longtime Scoutmaster, who preferred to remain anonymous as he adjusted his GPS tracker.
