    Elon seems more and more like an escaped mental patient…

    I think the stress is really getting to him, I feel kinda bad for him actually…

    Or, I would feel bad for him, if he wasn’t a complete dickhead.

      I’m not thinking mental patient but rather the panic attack of someone who set themselves on fire by trying to shoot a bottle rocket out of their ass while so drunk they’re barely standing. It’s the insanity of many bad decisions that he could have avoided coming together to create an emergency and him not being in a position to step back and rationally triage himself but rather going by gut instinct to try to fight the firefighters

        Yeah, I can see that, I wonder what will happen when he crashes and burns, when the Elon bubble pops, as from what I can tell it is just a matter of time…

          He’ll still be a billionaire thanks to his other companies which are harder for him to rapidly kill. I see him having either the Lindbergh experience or the notch experience. Notch is still around, rich as fuck, massively bigoted, and extremely unpopular not just with society as a whole, but like in a doesn’t have friends way. But Lindbergh, he was a lot like musk until he ran for nazi president of America and was pretty popular until everyone who had supported him had to pretend they didn’t.

          So yeah, either rich fascist who’s so lonely you’re actually kinda surprised he hasn’t died by his own hand, or rich fascist who’s trying to wade into some form of political power (musk being naturalized means he can’t be president thank fuck). Though there’s also the Thiel/Rowling route of rich fascist who is widely disliked but throws money at politicians promising to hurt people he doesn’t like and gets his way more than people would like.

      There is literally nothing he could do or anything that could happen to him that would make me feel bad for him.

      Everything that’s happening is 10% of what he deserves.

        At this point, even if he broke down crying in front of me in a private room, I would assume it was an act to scam me, either out of money, or attention.
