    I think that the comparison to Judas Iscariot is unfair. Judas got dealt a lousy hand in life, having to play the role of a snitch to fulfill a divine prophecy. He suffered pangs of conscience for betraying J.C., so he unsuccessfully tried to return the blood money that he received. He was so upset with the situation that he hanged himself. (That instantly makes me think of the M*A*S*H theme.)

    Judas Iscariot is better than Elon Musk in every way imaginable. It’s not even a contest.

      Matthew says he hanged himself, Luke (in Acts) says he…bought a field and burst open in it.

      Acts 1 18:

      “With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out”

      Doesn’t change your point really I just think it’s a fun inconsistency to think about. One option so much weirder than the other.
