This bit of linguistic contortionist is just the latest ridiculous twist in a long-running defamation suit which began when Musk suffered the public humiliation of building a non-viable and unasked-for miniature submarine to rescue a children’s soccer team that had become trapped in a cave in Thailand last summer.

Musk argued that “‘Pedo guy’ was a common insult used in South Africa when I was growing up [...] synonymous with ‘creepy old man’ and is used to insult a person’s appearance and demeanor.” You know, the way people say “murderer” or “rapist” to mean “a rude person I find disagreeable.”

Does this mean you're finished with the Persian red pill shtick?

No. It means I’m trying to save you (and my insurance premiums) from your obesity

His mom was rich, so he's obviously a genius. His brother owns restaurants here -- Also a deluded whacko who thinks he's a entrepreneur and not a spoiled rich kid.

Elon Musk is the most inspiring boss, according to those not working for him. (https://observer.com/2019/09/tesla-elon-musk-top-tech-ceo-rank-survey-2019)

In a new survey conducted by tech recruitment site Hired this summer, Musk was voted as “the most inspiring leader in tech” by over 3,600 tech workers in North America and Europe, topping Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and other tech moguls.

Musk’s approval rate by his own employees doesn’t seem so glowing. In June, a CEO ranking by job site Glassdoor based on employee reviews found no place for Musk in the top 100. He was No. 49 on the same list last year and No. 8 in 2017. Long work hours, low pay and poor management were three common complaints shared by those working at SpaceX and Tesla.

Why do so many have hate for you? And why are so many obsessed with your posting habits?

These people seem to have just as much time on their hands as you, isn't this all kinda hypocritical nonsense from people who hate hearing how fucked up the world is?

Thanks for the posts OP! keep it coming, these people need to read more.
