A friend had a very wise take on the Atlantic "Musk Fall From Grace" piece. Musk's "feelings" mean Jack SHIT. [View all]

He shared a screenshot promo for the Atlantic article and came to the conclusion that it was bullshit, that what's happening right now is an attempt to either humanize Musk OR seek sympathy / empathy for the fact that so many people hate his sociopathic ass.

Then came my friend's conclusion.

Nothing...N-O-T-H-I-N-G...matters MORE than the DAMAGE he has inflicted on this country.

I don't give a FUCK if he as kids who won't speak to him.
I don't give a FUCK if MOST Republicans hated him within MINUTES of meeting him.
I don't give a FUCK about ANY of the blowback at his Tesla dealerships.
I don't give a FUCK if he's butt hurt over being called a Nazi after throwing two Nazi salutes.
I don't give a FUCK about Wisconsin NOT BEING AMUSED when he showed up in a cheese head hat.

He's a smug, arrogant, sociopathic attention whore, a bully like Trump, who sees "empathy" as a fundamental weakness, unless he's crying about his own situation. TO HELL WITH HIM, and to HELL with any articles that attempt to paint a sympathetic picture of a man who BROUGHT ALL OF THIS ON HIMSELF.

Elon Musk’s father reveals the reason his son is ‘not cut out for politics’

The elder Musk claimed that the South African-born tech billionaire’s brashness would lead to him failing to communicate with the public.

The U.S. Constitution also states that a president must be a natural-born citizen who is at least 35-years-old.

Elon is not cut out for politics,” Errol Musk said Monday. “Politics is where you have to deal with everyone, from the very incredibly clever to the very somewhat not clever, the highly sophisticated to the very unsophisticated. If you can’t do that, don’t get into politics.”
