I guess they don't know he is a fraud? Or is this just tributes with extra steps to avoid the bad side of Trump?

PS: Please don't downvote this just because you hate Elon. We all do. I also believe the Emirate of Dubai is getting scammed, but it is still worth sharing.

This is the UAE we're talking about, a gaudy piece of uncultured shit in the desert built on slave labor. I'm sure they know that Musk is a serial fraudster and that his "loops" are car culture disguised as effective public transit, but they just don't care except inasmuch as it gives them the image of being futuristic to the shallow dipshits who vacation there.
