In all fairness, the medical professionals that were pushing the treatments really ought to lose their licenses if what he said they told him is what they said. The case for medical interventions for the under 18 set is pretty weak and can have long term consequences.

But, the guy is a monster, did we really need this particular article to know that he's a monster? He lost his mind and started posting a bunch of pro-rightwing stuff on top of stuff like just randomly firing people he sees at certain points of the day.

It's one of the strongest examples of how he's a monster.

I suppose, but I kind of feel like anybody that doesn't already know that he's a monster is probably not going to find this to be particularly compelling.

power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. the guy is drunk on his own powerful kool aid. IMHO the random firing of people he sees is a minced analog of nazi prison camp bullies randomly shooting POWs.

It's a great pity Musk is such a sociopath. He's innovative and started many good projects. It's also weird for somebody who is openly Aspie to use the same diagnosis to throw shade on his own daughter?

I suppose abusing your own children isn't compelling to some people, but the sorts of people who are cool with child abuse probably aren't going to be persuaded by any moral arguments that might exist.

that would be 75 million Americans who endorse somebody who approves terminating disabled kids.

It's probably growing up with all that money. Most of his bad behavior would never be acceptable if he didn't have billions of dollars.

Yeah like trump, his dad was wealthy, so he was born into money. Musk also grew up as part of the privileged class in South Africa during the apartheid era, his father bragged about being extremely wealthy, the family made their wealth using trafficked slave labour to mine emeralds in Zambia

too bad he could not transcend the sins of his father, rather than augmenting them.

Not much of a Suprise, does he even remember the names of his kids...he gave them such ridiculous ones some that can't even be pronounced and what now he can't tell Zanado apart from Zues or Ragnar from Thor or who knows what all wacko names he gave to his spawn. And he probably cant even say when each of them were born.


Maybe elon musk is a crazy cat lady and has just been keeping it a secret. He's the biggest lonely cat lady and just does not want to admit it.


I wonder how long hash tag cat lady directed at elon the owner of X now cause twitter was to edgy would last before elon musk gets butthurt and bans the account. That said I don't know if I have the energy to make a troll profile for X since well I make like a cat and take a nap.

Hey! Don't call Musk privileged! It hurts the part of my ego that is fixated on worshipping Musk as a conservative hero (yet who somehow also is "apolitical"). I, like all red-blooded Americans who value Hard Work, get reflexively angry at your suggestion that the rich person who had everything handed to him didn't get their money by Hard Work!

Hey, liberals! If that rich person doesn't deserve that money, then how did he GET that money? Huh? Huh? :wink: Check. Mate.

If liberals studied Amurrican economics, they would know it's physically impossible for someone to have money without deserving it. If you doubt that then you're a commie!
