Musk is truly the king of cringe.
Remember when he sued those advertisers for leaving Twitter after he told those advertisers to, and Im quoting here, "Go fuck yourselves"? He is basically 14.
“Your honor these companies won’t give me money despite the fact that I want it!”
Did you ask them politely and provide a service worth advertising on?
“I told them to go fuck themselves and banned everyone that was mean to the neo-nazis.”
???
I said out loud while watching it that he's got all the charm of an awkward 12 year old boy
Surely not all of it.
Maybe all of it except the young boyishness
Musk and Trump are people who never developed. They seem like children because they stopped growing somewhere in elementary school.
Being financially insulated from the consequences of their own actions via their wealthy parents seems to have an effect on stunting their emotional development prematurely. Trump and Musk are both sad losers with more money than sense.
The billionaire class must be abolished.
Facing challenges helps us to grow, they faced few until they opened their mouths on the public stage.
I do believe that Trump and his entourage were genuinely shocked about the amount of attention his personal life would get after declaring his candidacy. That they’d be able to carry on like normal.
No wonder Trump likes him. He must think he's like Jeffrey Epstein reincarnated or something.
