Honestly, same. I liked him up till he called that dude a pedo for saving those kids before he could. He seemed cool up till then for the most part then holy shit did he nosedive.

Literally all he had to do was to shut the fuck up and let his companies make infinite money for him. But no, he's got to have his own personal face in the news. Now here we are, Musk is one of the most hated people on the planet and every single one of his businesses are tanking into the lithosphere.

It would be a lesson on hubris if he was capable of self reflection.

SpaceX is tanking? Big news. Tesla is still the most valuable automaker, so it has a ways to go.

I hate him too, but let's not live in fantasy.

We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had Tesla. We had SpaceX. We had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork.

Yeah, apparantly there was shit before the pedo thing but it wasn't super widely known? To me, and many like me, he was just this shitposter running companies that seemed like they might really do cool shit like self driving cars and taking us to mars.

It's not prostitution if you pay in horses. Then it's patriarchy.

I'm a white male and was never given a horse :(

Have you tried being whiter or maler?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I mean....im pasty as fuck. But...hmm. I could get a dog instead of the 3 cats?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Just put the cats in a trenchcoat and it counts as a horse
