    Another day, another publicity stunt.

    I think stunts worked out well for Musk’s image initially because he was seen as “Iron Man IRL” and his… widely imaginative ideas were seen as genius and innovative.

    However, as his current image has now become “middle schooler in a grown man’s body with way too much money”, all of his stunts only reinforces that image into his descent into the butt of the joke. He of course, doesn’t seem to understand that and only looks to double down.

    It’s good that we’re all sick of hearing about him at this point, because that’s the reputation a person like him deserves.

      It feels more and more like a cry of help “Look at me! Please look at me!”

      So boring urgh

        He’s always been like that. You just never noticed it until the illusion shattered to reveal the terrible person behind it.

        This is also the reason why even smart people fall for scams too. People are emotional and only see what they want to see.
