Should this news count as uplifting? Asking as a mod. I know the current poltics scenario, but this does not sound uplifting to me unless i am kinda sadistic.

I feel better after reading it. I don't know if that makes me a bad person but hey, I'm a person so it counts.

it does not make you a bad person.

In fact it kind of made me a bit happy too, in a parental way "seeing their child f up, but then you child realises it, and they ar sad, but they also got a important lesson' either that or in a pity kind of way, in the sense that he is capable of feeling stuff, he desereved (partially) what he got (i do not condone arson, but boycots are welcome to me) but still, i have some kinda sense of "i should not laugh at someone else's pain"

Musk absolutely deserves this. He is trying to put poor people's elderly and disabled family members on the street, because like every other obscenely rich person, he hates the idea of paying taxes into Social Security, or any other tax on anything. He's a psychopath that truly deserves his fall from Grace. He openly stated, publicly, that he thinks empathy is weakness. But only for other people, not him. He's a Prince, just ask his mom.

I agree, it sadistic to cheer for an other man’s downfall, and should not be allowed one this community.

I think it good news that Elons bad choices, have consequences, is still doesn’t make it okay to hat on a man for being depressed.
