(Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette is a director at pogo.org)
Elon Musk, whose emotional development stalled in middle school, found a fresh way to be terrible this week by mocking a blind person's disability.
It all started when the thin-skinned South African entrepreneur had a manbaby meltdown after blind government watchdog Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette committed the sin of testifying to Congress about waste in Musk's precious DOGE program. Rather than addressing the actual criticism, Mr. Hair-Plug went full mean girl, unleashing his army of reply guys and basement-dwelling debate lords to cyberbully a literal blind person.
In a digital temper tantrum, Space Joffrey retweeted a sneering post about the "blind director who doesn't see waste" with crying-laughing emojis.
The Washington Post reports his latest toddler-grade tantrum inspired exactly the kind of responses you'd expect from lickspittle incels whose life mission is defending an infantile billionaire who wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire:
The tweet garnered more than 21 million views, and sparked dozens of hateful messages to Hedtler-Gaudette's account.
"He couldn't see s perfect excuse for being unable to perform your job," one poster said. "The dei blind guy can't see fraud. U can't make up this garbage," another wrote. One person even called for posters to surface Hedtler-Gaudette's bank account.

Felon Musk is the Worst Person in the World, hands down.

Hi Dave. You said it. Musk is completely loathsome. His BFF also mocked someone with a disability years ago.

was probably more than some vicious murderers have felt for their victims as they wildly stabbed them to death.
Absolutely shocking. What kind of person would EVER consider voting for something like that?
Thanks for the photo. It's good to be reminded of it periodically, no doubt whatsoever.
