    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.

      Yea, it’s much easier to fool people than for them to admit that they were fooled :/
