Rich people are so disconnected from reality. I mean, when I tell you disconnected people really don't understand. The best way to put it is ths: we have a hard time intuitively understanding the vast distances in the universe. Musk is like that. He is a person with such level of disconnect. He truly lives in his own reality, most likely because a man like him does not understand the concept of poverty or struggling to make ends meet. The narcissism displayed in that interview in which he says that "if speaking his mind means losing money then so be it" should tell you how this man truly lives in an alternative reality. I am so glad most of us realized the kind of scum he is.

but like, why did it take him tanking Twitter for many to realize that he's just a manbaby with a diamond-encrusted platinum pacifier
like it's really weird that it wasn't clear when he called that one guy who saved those kids in that cave a pedophile because the guy told Musk that his invention wouldn't be useful for the rescue effort; like people didn't see how shitty he was after he said that
Remember that time he said he was going to solve the COVID ventilator crisis and sent out a bunch of obsolete overstock sleep apnea machines that nobody wanted and weren't actually useful for the purpose? That was a good time.
Seems like buying the media silence to keep him a "pure" image it's a thing that he cannot contain on Twitter. But people can then correlate history. And the multiplier effect can get devastating
