WTF is wrong with Elon Musk:

[demmiblue]

Link to tweet

Good lawd, what an immature ass.

[OAITW r.2.0]

1. That's really weird. Is Musk going down the the Howard Hughes Highway?

A lot of institutional stock holders are going to wonder - if he can tweet something this juvenilely stupid, what kind of decisions can he make that totally fuck up this company's future?

[tenderfoot]

14. Was Hughes an insufferable troll that boasted of supporting coups

etc?

[OAITW r.2.0]

24. Turns out that they were both brilliant and unstable at the same time.

I wonder how HH would have used Twitter had it been available to him in the 30's. I wonder how a lot of people would have used the internet 80-90 years ago.

[NYC Liberal]

47. I'd like to see the Twitter feuds between Adams and Jefferson.

[OAITW r.2.0]

52. Makes you wonder.

A letter takes a couple of weeks to reach the party....and a response is 2 weeks away. Maybe that helped that you could not instantaneously react and had to give a thoughtful, considered response.

[ShazamIam]

2. He is under a lot of pressure, Jeff Bezos is after Elon's empire.

[3auld6phart]

3. Rich arsehole

Don’t want to pay taxes. Give some money to charity maybe help
with Ocean cleanup. That way you can claim a Tax write off.
Useless feckin’ parasite

[Lunabell]

4. He's sociopathic.

Minus the empathy gene.

[JHB]

5. The Rich are very different from you and me...

They're too insulated to recognize when they're just being assholes .

[OAITW r.2.0]

25. Twitter does provide a feedback loop.

I wonder if he bothers to read the comments?

[Walleye]

6. Gee, the prospect of paying taxes makes rich people go right out of their minds

[2naSalit]

19. Sure does. ...nt

[Woodswalker]

7. Hate to say it, he's

Just right wing Eurotrash

[tenderfoot]

11. He's from South Africa

[PortTack]

29. He is and I sure wish he'd just go back! The country would be better off

[cinematicdiversions]

21. May want to check the globe there... He is African. NT

[JHB]

28. "Fuckechead" knows no continent.

[orwell]

8. His ego goes up...

...along with the stock price.

In other words, he's just like many rich assholes...

[In It to Win It]

9. What is not wrong with Elon Musk?

[2naSalit]

20. +1

[tenderfoot]

10. He's another wealthy asshole the media cannot get enough of just like they were with Trump

Now I'm going to sit back and read the comments from his fan club that insist that he's moving mankind forward into the future.

[Haggard Celine]

12. Well he has the personality of a 1960s robot.

Something just doesn't seem right about him to me. I've never liked him or felt he was trustworthy.

[JohnSJ]

13. The problem is Congress allowing the tax laws that allow this

[BlueIdaho]

15. The dude is on the spectrum

He needs a minder to keep him from hurting himself. Seriously.

[bluestarone]

16. Well i say it seems like when a person reaches a certain money threshold, they

Just lose ALL Humanity! POWER and CONTROL is their ONLY want.

[Ellipsis]

17. None of you know what Elon Musk is...

To speculate is and ridicule is wasted energy.

He's a smart dude with what I understand someone who has Ausbergers.

He sees things we don 't. Emotionally he's "internally regulated" for lack of a better term.

His perspective is measured calculation.

He's just logical.

[Salviati]

22. Oh, of course...

Why does ur pp look like u just came?

This is the epitome of logical, measured calculation...

[Ellipsis]

27. by default... indeed.

[orleans]

33. wtf does that mean, anyway? nt

[Ellipsis]

38. Nothing really, outside of the fact that "kats" with Ausbergers live in an entirely different realm

With all due respect sir... They are scary intellects I well respect.... socially inept folks for the most part that piss off a lot of people, including me.

[orleans]

39. careful who you call "sir" (edit:)

and by careful i mean "don't assume"

[Ellipsis]

40. Hah... It's amazing how often I misread gender on this site.

My apologies... no disrespect meant. Your handle I've seen here for many years.

[orleans]

53. might be my pic of frank zappa that gives that impression

which is why i've left my profile stating gender all these years.

and i see you & i signed onto du about fifteen days apart

it's all good

[PortTack]

31. So exploiting the Brazilian ppl and their country for lithium mines is okay

Agreeing with gov ab-butt saying he likes his “conservative” policies i.e. the abortion ban, okay too.

Making a public statement if you tax me we won’t go to Mars...as a species WE ARE NEVER going to mars.

He’s become a crazed idiot drink on power and greed.

Open your eyes!

[Ellipsis]

34. Your bias fogs your perspective.

We will go to Mars... someday, on whose timeline, who knows.


Yeah I'm sure you're qualified to assess.. and by the way that would be drunk on power.

[tenderfoot]

41. So sad that none of us will be alive to see colonization on Mars NEVER happen.

[Ellipsis]

43. But, Edgar Rice Burroughs....

Who really cares... there are many issues to overcome, bone density for one, In our lifetime? certainly not my mine. Maybe his. Certainly not with current science. does it matter? Not really.

[niyad]

56. And by the way, it is "your", "whose" and "you are"

[Ellipsis]

57. Ouch.

I deserve that one for being "flip" and cooking at the same time.

[48656c6c6f20]

32. None of us know but you do?

You must be related? Your name *:ń ăľß':/ ë by any chance?

[Ellipsis]

35. You've found me out.

[Mr.Bill]

37. When he hosted SNL

he flat out said he was the first Autistic person to do so.

He's wired differently than most of us are, that's for sure.

[Crunchy Frog]

45. Dan Aykroyd is autistic.

I'm sure there's been all kinds of autistic people on SNL who either didn't know, or didn't advertise it.

[Mr.Bill]

46. I think he did use the word "admittedly"

or something like that.

[niyad]

48. Interesting. I just looked up Aspergers. Somewhat different list of behaviours

and conditions. He presents as an entitled, arrogant, clueless, money-grubbing asshole. None of those are conditions of Aspergers.

[Ellipsis]

50. 'T'is your observation and I don't begrudge that... but it's assumptive.

Since this your first foray into the topic, my experience differs...money is part of the formula in this context... but not money grubbing.

Sorry.

[niyad]

55. As assumptive as yours, unless you are actually acquainted with the jerk. Or with me.

[meadowlander]

49. Alternately, it's possible to be autistic and an asshole at the same time.

Autism is primarily your brain being wired differently to neurotypical people - often so that you hyper-focus and specialise in some things and neglect or ignore others.

So you can be a rocket scientist and not understand basic manners. Or you know a lot about engineering but forget to brush your teeth most days.

Even if he's an autistic savant in one area it doesn't follow that he knows everything about everything.

[Ellipsis]

51. Absolutely.

And completely frustrating...

[Champion Jack]

18. This is acceptable behavior on his home planet

[Hoyt]

26. Not enough, but Musk paid $455 Million in taxes 2014 - 2018.

“From 2014 to 2018, Elon Musk paid $455 million in taxes on $1.52 billion in income, according to a report from ProPublica.”

I’m not sure taxing unrealized gains is the way to go, but maybe requiring Billionaires to sell a certain percentage of stock each year is an alternative. Government requires 72 year-olds to begin selling 5% of retirement accounts.

[KentuckyWoman]

36. Money can't buy sense.

[JanMichael]

42. A lot of engineers inhale a lot of toxic smoke and air.

Perhaps that caused the brain damage? I will not blame the weed!

[Oneironaut]

44. This is what the intersection of ego mania and immaturity looks like.

Elon Musk has always been a narcissistic man child. He thrives off negative attention, much like Trump.

[Texasgal]

54. I'm depressed that he's moving

his headquarters here to Austin. He said the city will change in a magnificent way... it sure will, with a housing shortage and poor infrastructure it'll just make my hometown worse.

[orleans]

58. i see he has changed his name again. yesterday, when i saw this thread he was calling himself

lorde edge

[LiberalFighter]

59. His behavior indicates he at a minimum a glue sniffer.
