      We have four mods already, I’m moving the rest of the community over from our facebook group but I have high hopes for this place.

      Hope we’ll change your mind about Elon. He actually does have a good heart, even if your politics keeps you from seeing it.

        My dislike for Mr. Musk is not based on his politics, but rather his malignant narcissistic behavior. He’s a fraud and a con man.

          Are SpaceX, Starlink, Tesla, PayPal, OpenAI… frauds?

          Do you know well enough to diagnose him a “malignant narcissist” or are you just consuming too much political media that paints him as evil?

            A company that only exists on government subsidies and it’s spin off, a company he bought and installed himself as “founder” of, a company that his company was acquired by and quickly sunsetted, and a company he’s trying to compete with? Yeah, I’d say he’s a fraud.

                What kind of literal baby brain logic is this. “You don’t think Elon should have the power he does so therefore he’s allowed to take his ball and go home” lmao.

                  What do you mean by fraudulent? That the company is a scam, or he shouldn’t have power? I don’t think you know what “fraud” means.

                    No dude, you don’t know what “fraud” means. Calling someone a fraud does not mean you’re literally accusing the person of the crime of fraud, even though he almost certainly has done that. It means you’re saying they lied and cheated to get where they are, which every rational person can now tell he did. SpaceX having a successful launch isn’t a fraud, Elon taking any credit for it is.

            You forgot the hyperloop Tesla tunnel, the boring company, and probably a few other failed business ventures. Yes he is a narcissist and you’re his ‘yes’ man. Observe his behavior. I dare you to defend his lack of empathy.

          Do you not remember T_D?

          What we assume is too far fetched for any normal person is actually right on the mark for these dipshits.

          I would like to once again curse this timeline for being so ridiculous that we can’t be sure this is satire.

            What does the word capitalist mean to you? What makes you label yourself as such? Your comments are so far removed from reality that I must question your sincerity
