I'm pretty sure he's bipolar. Sometimes he's calm and rational, but other times he just flies off the handle and does the crazy.

He has stated before that he has Asperger's Syndrome.

Elon Musk opens up about growing up with Asperger's

There are relatively few known examples of successful entrepreneurs and business leaders with Asperger’s.

Yeah, I'm probably borderline Aspie myself, BUT that doesn't account for the crazy he sometimes comes up with. Usually Aspie is intense focus on random crap, trouble relating to others/emotions etc...but he has his own angle on flying off the handle.

Hyperloop, Tesla bot, Starlink for Ukraine, robotaxis, electric trucks, the list goes on. The guy is unhinged with some of his comments.

Agree he's a bit of a loose nut. Would still be the best US president in decades.

You would be whining about successful people and making up reasons for why they are successful, e.g Elon is a conman / had rich parents / got subsidized/ etc, that’s why he is so successful.

But your righteousness prevents you from being like him. You have the skills and know how of course. But you are the better person.

So loser you will stay.

No he’s just a conman selling nonsense to gullible people.

Being a billionaire doesn't qualify you to determine what humanity needs.
There are decazillionaires nobody knows about in Saudi Arabia and they are able to STFU.

Well it depends on how people got their wealth. Musk got it by providing goods and services to other people. The Saudi Arabian people got theirs by using force and enslaving other people.
These two things are not the same.

Also, Musk isn't arguing from a position that because he is rich he gets to set the rules. He is arguing from a deontological position that free speech and the free flow of information is better for people than not having it. This is why every single free country has free speech encoded into its constitution. Musk is simply aligning his little corner of the world with the standard that is set in the US constitution.

Being a dimwit doesn’t qualify you either. But that doesn’t stop you.

At the outset let me say I think Eelawn is a d00s. But I don't hate the man :cool:

Having said that... I love that he makes grown ass men ree like toddlers :love:

I have no doubt my first line will be ignored by the reers... especially @Cheer who should be along shortly :whistling:

If you didn't @ me then I wouldn't be along at all ;)

The only grown ass men I see reeing here are those that have issues with anyone saying something negative about Elon.

I don't use Twitter so i'm limited to the crybabies here.

True true... how does his actions against whistleblowers in his company, paying to settle sexual harassment claims privately and the person logging his flights tie into this?
