    Oh boo fucking hoo.

    When you get the IRS on your ass, you lose your hair from the stress, your colon turns inside out, you get every one of your transactions scrutinised, and you scramble to deal with it while trying to still keep your life going. When musk gets the IRS on his ass, he hires the best tax lawyers in the world to deal with it, and fucks off to his private beach to sip martinis and get sucked off by whoever the fuck. If he’s feeling particularly ornery, he calls up his accountant and donates a billion dollars in “favors” and “services” to whichever SuperPAC lobbies to defund the IRS. Same if he gets sued or slandered by the media or whatever other problem you can think off. As long as it doesn’t threaten his wealth at a systemic scale, he doesn’t have to give two fucks.

    As far as I see, Elon Musk is bigger than a real person. He can insulate himself from real people problems to such a degree that many of these problems dont even show up on his radar, instead being taken care of by his assistants before they get to his table. You have as much in common with elon musk as human DNA does to Onion DNA - technically you’re similar to each other in that you’re both human beings, but you aren’t even close to the same thing.

    The only problems that he might have in common with normal people are interpersonal ones.

    I really don’t understand how you would even arrive to “My calling is to defend Elon Musk”. I feel dirty even spending the time to write this comment.
