I'd also argue that literature is more art than anything else.
Is Elon Musk the greatest visionary or the greatest snake oil salesman of our age?

Landfill gets an unnecessarily bad rap. It's a better place for most plastics to end up in than the sea. Especially considering that plastic recycling is largely a scam perpetrated by plastics manufacturers.

Plastic recycling is joke. It's largely a myth, and, as you say, perpetrated by the petrochemical and plastics industries. Most of your recycled plastic either ends up in landfill or gets burned. Only about 10% ever gets recycled, and the energy used in collecting and recycling it is ridiculous.
Plastic recycling is simply the plastics companies greenwashing themselves, and putting the blame on you, the consumer. I just burn mine, to save the extra fuel that'll be bought from the same petrochemical companies to burn it elsewhere.

I'd expect some sort of nasty blackened plasticky slag to accumulate at the bottom. The smell can't be good either.

Burning plastic can affect air quality, public health (Environmental Factor, August 2022)
Researchers discuss implementation projects and tools used to examine contaminants, and how they work to reduce exposures.

Heat, and whatever goes up the chimney. It's no different to the 50% of 'recycled' plastic that gets incinerated every year, and releases the same shit. The only difference is I'm saving the burning of additional hydrocarbons to burn my waste hydrocarbons.
I put it on top of an already roaring fire. It's long gone before it ever gets a chance to reach the grate.

Doesn't it condense in the flue, increasing the need for sweeping and the chance of chimney fires?

Possibly, but that's the landlord's domain, and he's getting paid handsomely to look after it.

They're essential to keep out rain and to stop birds nesting in your chimney.I get asthma so I'm stopping using the rayburn/woodburner/open fire. (Just a few more loads to dry out the chimney after the huge volumes of rain we've been getting so my super new cowlings can hopefully keep them dry).

I had three up there already but one of them in particular was letting rain in. I think the chimney lining was installed upside down so it was catching the water coming down the inside of the chimney and pissing out of the chimney breast 
. I decided I'd have all three replaced. Is good so far - good updraught and hopefully even rain with strong winds won't get in.

Mine only has these things but they work fine. It'd have to be horizontal rain to get inside the flue liner.

I don't really have a choice. My central heating runs off either a diesel burner or the solid fuel stove, and the price of diesel is ridiculous.

Now this how you do satire, not the bullshit "satire" where one just shitposts on social media in a manner indistinguishable from genuine loons and bigots:

Billionaire Elon Musk, found dead in his home last night, says it is not the role of social media networks to determine what is true or not.
The Tesla and X owner, who is believed to have died from a heroin overdose while watching animal porn, said he would fight any attempts to stop the spread of misinformation on his platform.
Police revealed that Musk, who says it is up to the public to decide what was true or not, had been fighting incest charges at the time of his death.
His funeral is next week.

He's going to live forever, though, you just know these guys seem to be immortal and untouchable. Probably got plans for the cryogenic deep sleep, or downloading his intelligence into AI, at the very least.

Space x coming under health and safety scrutiny.
"The company's high injury rate last year was the subject of a Reuters investigation that found at least 600 previously unreported worker injuries at the rocket and satellite company. Those injuries, Reuters found, led to crushed limbs, amputations, serious head injuries and one death."
Guess it's all canon fodder for Elon.

Not so sure about that, I think if he ever gets seriously ill it might be a Steve Jobs-style "I'm a genius who has done my own research and has a better idea than doctors how to deal with this" situation
