    But they didn’t. The guy had me in the first half when he cried because Buzz Aldrin didn’t like him. Elon wasn’t always so obvious with his bullshit. There was a time when he looked minted as a purveyor of a bright future - the mask slipped.

      The mask has been off for at least 8 years.

      No sympathy for anyone who still stans that phony.

        When did he call that rescuer a “pedo”? Because that’s when I changed my mind on him forever.

        Edit: It was June 2018.

          Then he fired his PR team not long after that. He pushed out all the people getting paid to help him not look like an idiot.

          Musk should likely have all his storage media searched, just randomly accusing people of things like pedophilia for no reason is often projection, “don’t look at me, I clearly can’t be one as I’m the most vocal about being against them, look over here instead” or whatever

            What Elon did was terrible, but it wasn’t “for no reason”

            The dude attacked him in the media, and Elon is petty and vindictive.

            Was the harshness of Elon’s response representative of the attack? Absolutely not. But it wasn’t nothing.

              Yeah see there is a thing called disproportionate response.

              If you’ve got a guy with 100 million followers talking shit about someone else and making wild accusations against them against another person who has practically no following at all, then the response is far too powerful for the issue at hand.

        Well, good to know there’s no way forward but your way.
