Going slightly OT for a moment, I was amused by Musk’s proud proclamation cited in the article, “I do zero market research whatsoever”.
Yeah, well, guess what, Mr. Nazi? Maybe that’s one reason of many that the Cybertruck is an abysmal failure. Simply put, no one wants one. Maybe you should have done more than “zero” market research instead of relying on your own self-perceived brilliance. A lot more!
Also, Elmo, you’re a linguistic dumbass. The quoted phrase is as grammatically ugly as your Cybertruck is aesthetically. One might say “I do no market research whatsoever”, where “no” is a negative determiner intensified by “whatsoever”, in the same sense as the pronoun “none” as in “none whatsoever”. But “zero whatsoever” is not English, because “zero” is not inherently negative like “no”. but “whatsoever” is always a negation intensifier, so Elmo comes off sounding like the dumbass that he is.
