Except he’s grumbling about the MSM and professional journalism, with its nasty left wing bias.

His entire motivation for removing the verified check mark was to balance things out with “citizen journalism” which is quite obviously right wing social media screaming.

So, I feel like Musk has a couple layers of communication with the outside world. One layer is the online left, who is mean to him and constantly reminds him that, though powerful enough to buy entire communication platforms, he can’t buy being cool or clever. There’s the mainstream media, who is like a softer, more professional version of the online left in his eyes because it is gradually becoming unilaterally critical of him, reminding him that the whole end of history brain disease, which framed the existence of capitalist tech strivers like himself as an unambiguous good, is near fully passed through our system and now he’s just another rear end in a top hat with money. There’s the online right/musk fanatics, who offer him the hope that maybe those other two voices might just be full of poo poo, he’s actually cool, and his impulsive drive to possess the future is a salvational expression. Then, finally, there are his employees who are simply trying to continue being paid and advance their careers; they kiss his rear end or stay out of his way, but try to keep their interactions with his political desires as shallow and neutral as possible just because… why get involved with the psychosis of your volatile boss more than you need to?

You’d think his genuine, non-transactional friends and immediate family would be another layer, but I don’t believe he has any of the prior, and doesn’t speak with the latter.

Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning
But tell me what happens when it stops?
They go
Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?

And they say
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night? (Oh)

How the gently caress do you force yourself and others to live in poverty conditions when you're blowing millions and billions on impulse? 1% of the twitter deal cost would set drat near anyone for life.

This sounds like the ftx guy that was showing off his Toyota carolla but has a $50 billion penthouse. Anytime he spends in the hood is some childish cosplay since he has multiple ex special ops bodyguards at all times.

On Joe Rogan musk said he sold his homes because it eliminated attack vectors or some dumb poo poo like that. As of not owning a home he is suffering like someone that has to worry about where to sleep.

He bought his former employee/mistress a big mansion. He crashes/sleeps there on occasion and claims he has no houses because none are in his name. I'm sure he has lots more of such locations everywhere.

He does have these periodic manic episodes where he slept in a rental box on SpaceX runway for a week or got a roach apartment in the hood together with Grimes for a while. These look like roleplay things he does once in a while to tell himself he's normal. He once slept on a Tesla factory floor and has been using this story for years since then to force his employees to work 18-hour shifts.
