I have a theory that this guy tried his own implant tech which terribly failed and left permanent brain damage. it’s one way to explain the sudden and progressing unhingedness
When do you think that might have happened? Because he's been a documented dick for a long, long, longer time than most media give him credit for.
Yeah, this notion that Musk suddenly went off the rails is pure face saving fantasy.
Like, no, Musk didn't suddenly become an idiot. He's always been an idiot. We just bought his hype, and the healthy thing to do is admit it and learn a lesson.
Yup. I remember realizing that he was a piece of shit back in 2018 when he was calling that rescue diver a pedophile.
That hype was useful when for cussed on a technology he is helping develop. We should never have listened outside that
This, my friend, is the hype. Musk has never helped to develop anything. He's not an engineer or a scientist. He's a rich asshole who buys his way into tech projects, all of which were either doing fine without him (Tesla, PayPal) , fail utterly (Hyperloop), or suck up resources that could almost certainly be applied more effectively by the government itself if they weren't being funneled into a for-profit operation (SpaceX).
Yea, it's much easier to fool people than for them to admit that they were fooled :/
he was a dick as far back as when he bought tesla, maybe 15 years ago by now. know someone who worked there back then. said it was a nightmare dealing with musk's ego, even many layers down in the pyramid
Alternatively, and more realistically: drugs.
More precisely: coke
It seems more likely you progressed to see who he actually is rather than him losing “it”
