errol musk also had a child with his own stepdaugther at 76. i don’t really want to know what he says about anything.

But… He knows more about manufacturing than any man alive! /s

No one succeeds like an apartheid emerald mine failson.

Well, the father had his part in creating this mess we’re all now in. Now we have to watch a sad existence trying to compensate for their childhood traumas by buying governments instead of just going to therapy.

Anyone who has actually listened to him speak knows he isn’t all there.

I mean, so was I…

I wouldn’t say I grew out of it, but in comparison I like to think I grew into it

Accurate.

Eccentric person is eccentric, they would say the same about anyone who isn’t like them anyway, textbook prejudice

I get why this is really ironic and funny but it still feels wrong to laugh at

This is an insult to people that would have been given that label in those days. Those folks are some of the happiest, friendliest people I’ve ever met. Until a couple years ago I used to work out a city gym and interact with a group of the intellectually disabled who would come in for exercise. They told me they loved me, worked out with me, laughed with me and they were one of the best parts of gym time.

Edit: Following discussion below, I think it would be right and humanizing to add a reminder to myself and others. Although my time with that particular group was very positive, the mentally disabled are people like any of us and each will be different in terms of friendliness, happiness, and social capability.

Musk runs propaganda platforms, fights unions, visits Epstein islands, buys elections, and is THE example of the oligarchy that is in a very real way ruining the world and destroying hope. He has no right to be given a label that would historically place him in the same category as the people I knew for years.
