    My brother insists that any criticism of musk or his companies must be because one is biased against him and wants him to fail. When asked if he may be biased towards Musk and dismissing negatives because of his bias, his response is something along the lines of “he’s very successful so he can’t be dumb or a bad manager of his companies”. It’s all 4D chess. It’s so frustrating.

        He seems to vacillate between different people he puts up on a pedestal every couple years. He’s big into the Joe Rogan podcast now and shilling for Musk.

        In the past it’s seems like it was Ron Paul, then Rand Paul, then Mitt Romney, then Ted Cruz, then Thomas Sowell, then Ben Sasse, etc. there may be others I missed. It’s basically the conservative du jour that is the most amazing person ever right now and because it’s basically hero worship by a different name, it’s not a rational position you can use rationality to argue against.

          Some people are just Kool Aid drinkers. Doesn’t matter what the flavor is, they’re just thirsty.

      The article goes into. Shes a big Trump booster, a “slash and burn” manager, someone who believes she was destined to be a CEO, and someone willing to believe “alternative facts” if they help her out.

      Basically, shes a shiny shithead. A fine match to Musks slimy shithead.

    Downvote Musk spam.

    The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle. Don’t be a useful idiot.

      Any time I see someone whining about seeing posts on a topic that they, personally, don’t like, I upvote the post to add visibility, then block the whiner. Thank you for your contribution!

    Because Hollywood Reporter is the quintessential “Technology” publication. Oh, BTW did anyone see Elon go on with Andrew Sorkin today and tell Bob Iger “Go fuck yourself!” And he let Andrew Sorkin suffer briefly, then followed it up with “you think you’re going to bribe me with advertising…?, you’re going to bribe me with money!? GO FUCK YOURSELF! Hey Bob, if your in the audience. I think you are.” He made Bob Iger his bitch on camera. Interesting strategy, we’ll see how that works out.
