    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.

            The guy told it like it was. It was a PR stunt and nothing more. His submarine was rigid and stood zero chance of navigating the intricate cave system, of which the caver was an expert. Elon didn’t like his sub (and him by extension) being ridiculed, so he used his social media clout to make an unsubstantiated and nigh libelous claim that the guy was a pedophile.

            Whatever Elon’s retaliatory reasons are for his vindictiveness, a rational person can safely assume that those reasons are tied to his hollow soul and crêpe-paper-thin ego.

              He was bullied as a child, he probably never got over it and the power has gotten to his head.

                I was bullied as a child, and I now work as a math teacher in Title I schools and engage in mutual aid. What’s your point? Why are you making excuses for that cunt?

                  It’s not an excuse.

                  Some people grow up and move past an experience, some people don’t. Some hold onto that hatred and become the bully themselves.

                  How you handle situations makes you who you are, but it’s up to you to do that.

                    It’s not an excuse. [Provides an excuse.]

                    Elon doesn’t need you as his Lemmy apologist. Get wrekt, son.
