74. Musk is scary
Tue Dec 3, 2024, 04:20 AM

I used to like Musk when back in the day he spoke about alternative energy pursuits. However, he reinvented himself when he jumped onstage (literally) at a Trump rally and exposed his fat gut to those who didn't turn away in shock. His real self finally came forward and why I nicknamed him
"AssBurger".

He didn't used to be this crazy. He's doing Putin's bidding - probably why he bought Twitter and didn't care how much money he lost doing it.

I don’t think he’s even a USA citizen
So why is he allowed all this power much less allowed such close contact to America and its secrets

It more accurately should be "Elon Musk Is Insane."

He's been insane for quite a long time.

I liked it when Musk was promoting technological advancements to benefit mankind. However, somehow a switch was thrown and his "AssBurger" tendency revealed itself. I believe he got infected by the money and power disease, following, at least ideologically, his puppet master Trump. I see this as a basic human flaw, unless contained, power and money corrupts. Something like "wine, women, and song", but without the fun part. A s with other totalitarian types, like Hitler and Jim Jones, they both feed on the same ugly concepts. Eventually, Musk will really butt heads with Trump, as they both don't like to be told what to do. Trump will try and distance himself, as many people see Musk as much smarter than him. Egos will collide, it will be either a simmering scenario or a supernova blast.

They already have a god complex because they control people’s lives and stock markets move on the words that come out of their mouths. You really have to be a sociopath to accumulate wealth of that nature. I’d imagine that Musk looks at other humans as non player characters or units that he controls and manipulates. Drugs would only enhance his already narcissistic world view.
