    Nah. Musk was calling that rescue diver saving kids trapped in cave a pedo before the model 3 came out. It was clear, public knowledge that he was a douchebag very early on.

      Not everyone is online as much as we are. Lots of people are utterly unaware that ever happened.

        Being unaware doesn’t protect from consequences. Even morally, in a democracy, it’s up to the people to be informed. Buying decisions drive policy. It should worry people that they don’t have the time nor tools to be informed. This alone should start a general strike.

        With all the things that are looming, imagine the price you are going to pay because you were not online enough.

            No. That’s why this is important:

      Yeah but I kind of expect every CEO to be on that level of douchebaggery. We wouldn’t be able to buy everything if that’s the bar, because the CEO of every company is on that level.

      Also we can’t expect everyone to be aware of that story.

      It’s when he bought Twitter and started going on about woke mind virus that he revealed himself as a bigger douche than most CEOs.

        Yeah, the twitter debacle fucking broke him I wonder if there’s an alternative timeline where he weaseled out of having to buy it and decided to calm down and shut the fuck up afterwards.

        Maybe this is the timeline where he eats enough drugs to explode his own heart on a livestream.
