    “My firstborn child died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat,” Musk tweeted. “I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame.”

    And now he’s throwing his own dead kid under the bus. But hey, it’s a money bus.

        Gee, next thing he’ll probably accuse someone of trying to blackmail him by paying him.

        She continued: “Elon made it clear that he did not want to talk about Nevada’s death. I didn’t understand this, just as he didn’t understand why I grieved openly, which he regarded as ‘emotionally manipulative’.

        This is horrible.

          Yeah.

          I think he’s horrible, but I’m not a psychologist or psychiatrist, and we over medicalise shitty behaviour, so I don’t we should diagnose the man. In his defense he had just lost a child.

          But this being said, I don’t think it’d be a huge shock if he was ever diagnosed as a narcissist and/or sociopath.

          I’m glad that his wife was and is able to stand up to him.

        Imagine being so wealthy and powerful you never have to be ashamed. Elmo will never have to be confronted with criticism except on his own terms. Their are legions who will stroke his ego and eloquently explain why he’s always in the right.

        Never being confronted with your mistakes is worse than making you arrogant… it rots your fucking brain. You become lazy and uncritical of yourself. You become stupid. Being a “great man” is a degenerative neurological disorder.

      Do you think he describes himself as a dad or does he require being called a founder?

      The best part about rich people is they suffocate just like the rest of us if you put plastic bags over their heads. Same with falling from great heights. You’d think they bounce and be fine but nope, they pop right open

    Musk and Zuck can’t stand losing relevance. So the best thing you can do is ignore them.

    So, what? Musk ran his Xitter botnet to “vote” for Jones’ return, both because Musk himself is a conspiracy theorist and because he wants Jones’ traffic? Idiocy and greed will be the death of humanity …

    Gary Vee once said that he doesn’t traffic in money or selling products, he traffics in attention. Thats really stuck with me. Gary Vee is a grifter and a snake oil salesman, but he’s 100% right about the modern landscape of capitalism. The money is almost gone. It’s almost entirely hoarded by the billionaire dragons. Now the ruling class just pulls stunts like this to anger us and distract us from realizing that our lives would be so much better if these people no longer existed.

    On Saturday morning, Musk posted an unscientific poll to his account asking users of the platform if Jones should be reinstated. By Saturday evening when the poll closed, about 70% of nearly 2 million respondents had voted “yes.”

    Lol

      When Elton responded initially it had 450,000 votes at 92-8 or something… then it had 1.2 million this morning, and was running 72-28. Then supposedly another 400,000 people voted, and it was 70-30. Then ANOTHER 400,000 votes were recorded and the ratio didn’t budge at all, and it closed at 70-30. Seems suspicious to me. Of course Elron would just have it say whatever he wanted, there’s no doubt.
