    8 years ago I’d have thought “Elon will step out of the limelight to avoid upsetting Trump so he can use his White House access to make a ton of money.” Now, I know he’s just as narcissistic and stupid as Donald Trump is.

      Something in him changed. Broke. Maybe all the drugs fucked him up. Idk. I used to look up to him. In the last say decade, I’ve condemned him. I’d love to see him flogged in public.

        His origin story is that he bullied a kid so much for dead parents in his school that the kid eventually pushed Elon down the stairs and he swore to never be able to be picked on again.

        He’s always been a villain he was just charismatic enough and pretended to be the good guy until the mask broke and he went full villain to try and put the mask back up.
