"WOW", indeed. "That's not a man."

48. The masculinity focus is kind of gross, but he's spot on about Musk being a pathetic failure.

I would change the line "That's not what it means to be a man" to "That's not what it means to be a human, but what he said about Musk's "legacy" is right on the money.

My view of Musk has changed considerably in the last few days. I used to think he was just a spoiled, overconfident, rich kid who thinks he's better than anybody else just because he has a lot of money and has too high of an opinion of his own abilities because he's heard too many people call him a genius and let it go to his head. I still believe all of that, but I also see that he's a fake, a fraud, and a failure who has let drugs take over his life.

I also see that he has a lot more in common with Donald Trump than I realized until recently. They both had too much too young, were allowed to do whatever they wanted with too little discipline, and grew up to be hollow shells of bluster and bravado with very little actualpathetic.

So yeah, i still think Eloon is obnoxious, but also deeply, profoundly pathetic. He seems to be headed in a bad direction right now with his reliance on multiple drugs, and at the rate he's going, he may crash and burn soon, unless he gets into rehab and actually works on his recovery. He's more than 25 years younger than Trump, but all the drugs are really taking a toll. If his dependence on ketamine is as severe as it sounds, he could end up on dialysis before he reaches 60. None of this excuses any of the terrible things he's done, of course, but knowing he's evidently been living in a drug induced fog for a while now makes it easier to see why he's done so many things that made absolutely NO damned sense.

The saddest part of the whole story is not that these two men are both going downhill, each on a trajectory of his own making, but that they have harmed vast numbers of people in so many terrible ways and done so much dange to this country, and will almost certainly continue to do so if nothing happens to stop them.
