Is that a bottle of Chivas? Like the scotch I buy when I'm broke? Facingthe camera? Is he drinking scotch while smoking a cigar (incorectly) and drinking a cofee? Was he exhaling cigar smoke into his scotch glass while drinking it? What the gently caress is happening?

He couldn't even bother to open the sealed bottle to make it look like the apple juice he deep throated was that Chivas.

How can you put yourself in a position where everyone in the world can publicly roast you, rake over every detail of your private life, and you've paid a nation's GDP for the privilege? As a previous poster said, it's like the town's richest man has put himself in the stocks and dropped his pants with a crate of rotting tomatoes nearby.

Regardless of what his actions clearly mark him as, it's clear that he likes to think of himself as an enlightened centrist. If you've ever had the displeasure of reading anything he's said about literally any political issue, he never has a take other than "perhaps both sides have a point, it's funny how nobody has ever considered that, maybe they should talk to me and I can help them work out their differences from my throne of ironic detachment and pure rationality".

Elon Musk demonstrably does not believe that both sides have a point and that there exists a golden truth in the middle that works best for everyone, or whatever he's defining as "moderate" these days.

However he believes that he believes that. That basically goes for all Enlightened Centrists who mysteriously always side with the nazis, and while the contradiction is obvious if you think about it for like two seconds, their secret is that they just avoid ever thinking a critical thought.

Just found out the only reason Elon Musk didn't unban Alex Jones is because he personally had a child die in his arms. I feel bad for Musk about that but I don't understand how someone can be so insulated from tragedy that they can only empathize with victims of traumatic events if they themselves have been affected by it.

Then again he also slung accusations against someone for being a pedo with no evidence so he's a hypocrite too for using unfounded claims of child sexual abuse as a cudgel against an innocent person.

He loving lied about that. It happened to his Ex-Wife. Elon wasn't around when it happened. Then he had the gall to accuse her of emotional blackmail or some poo poo because she was upset about her child dying. Elon is an irredeemable piece of poo poo.

I haven't seen evidence he wasn't there. He definitely called her emotionally manipulative and she was the one to hold the baby. That I am not questioning. He was part of the decision to take the baby off life support though he reasonably could have been at the hospital at the time. He could have been there because he felt obligated to be, or just wanted the wife to come back home. I'm at a 60/40 that he was there I'm more willing to give it to him (because it doesn't matter, calling grieving emotional manipulative means he wasn't there for emotional reasons, it still looks extremely bad).

I'd love to have some proof that he called in his decision.

I think it was enough that be basically berated her and straight up said if she had worked for him he would've fired her over her distress of losing a child.

But you're advocating policies that would hurt poor people and minorities specifically. You can't separate the effects from that from how someone views you tho.

It's really remarkable how capable far-right yes-men are at captivating narcissists with no critical thinking, isn't it?

Like it seems like you just "yes and" them when they spout of some bullshit like "Lets use a prototype submarine to rescue a bunch of children from an underwater cave", and he'll lap up the "and" part.

Seriously he seems like a less dementia addled version of Trump with this poo poo where he seems to basically just latch onto the last idea someone "yes and"ed him with.

Yeah, absolutely. Sometimes it's clear that's what they're doing and it's on purpose; what I'm positing is that there is a notable subgroup of them who also don't admit it to themselves, to which Elon belongs. If he knew he was full of poo poo he'd avoid drawing attention to his politics beyond vague "republicans are moderate" remarks, but instead he keeps using his platform to make sure everyone knows how stupid his ideas are.

Have you considered that a large number of people disagreeing with you might mean you're wrong? It's not a guarantee of course. The majority is not always right. But if you say something and nobody agrees with you, maybe consider that you're the common denominator in this equation.
