His most successful venture, SpaceX, is a government welfare case now more than ever because we ain't too friendly with Russia; and at best he was an angel investor who meddled so much and had so much money, they let him just blow up tin-can rockets after their poo poo worked and got approved

Eh, I think the tide has mostly turned against Musk.

The fact that he's gonna be on Tucker all but confirms this. He's entering the full mask off phase and now he's doing the whole "woe is me" persecution porn right wing media tour that they all love so much. Because now is the time his ego needs shoring up since all other media has turned against him. And it will work for him, it will work for the right wing media, and it will work for shitheads all over the world. He'll keep being rich, he'll keep being a shithead, and he'll get all of the adulation and ego stroking he needs as he burrows deeper into shithead-right spaces to avoid any kind of introspection or reality.

We've all seen it all before.

Imagine if he'd ever had to fight daily for recognition and respect for his ideas and concrete output, letting the work of his own hands speak for itself

Imagine if he wasn't given the benefit of the doubt at all times

And it's amazing how much it freaks out people like Musk. So much of their own identity is wrapped up in the social constructs that without them they just fall the gently caress apart. I mean, for someone who's way into science and technology, Musk is astonishingly narrow-minded when it comes to society. Then again, he just play-acts being a TechBro because like most/all rich people he wants bonafides for being lucky.

Pro-transhuman, anti trans humans is such a tortured, cursed position.

Indeed.

I've gotta wonder if this interview's going to get him any new customers. The target audience for Tucker isn't open to electric vehicles and probably would consider Tesla only if they have gas engine options.

If they invent anything, it's just going to be a rehash of the old unmoderated chatbots that became racist and misogynistic within a day. Except maybe that will a feature instead of an unintended flaw.

Going on Tucker and going fully mask-off transphobic is a gambit to rehab his public image fully onto the conservative bandwagon. He'll drag a bunch of people who were already in that ballpark with him. It shows how desperate he's gotten for positive attention outside of Twitter.

On the other hand, I suspect that'll be poison to advertisers.
