Interesting. Maybe.

Hard to have any interest in anything with a whiff of Musk attached to it.

Anyone else seeing a lot of videos about this interstellar object that is going through our universe?

Loads of videos about it and how it could be a ship, and of course a lot of conspiracy theories are popping up.

I enjoy conspiracies for the entertainment value, it's fun to imagine.  I know it's almost certainly BS, but it's more interesting than a lot of media right now.

Things that are completely made up tend to have more entertaining value than factual news.

For the most part I would agree, although we've all watched and read real stories that make us say WTF.

That looks like it would be so much fun to drive.  But, I bet it takes a lot of skill to predict where it's gonna drift.
