The Click-Bait Headline Thread

To be clear, I don't have a firm position on whether or not Elon made a Nazi salute, and in fact I think the "did he or didn't he" kind of misses the forest for the trees, in some cases intentionally so.

This is a guy who, even before his latest corrupt and criminal behavior in DC, has done a lot of awful things (including associating with a lot of white supremacists and nationalists, FWIW). So whether or not his gesture was a Nazi salute or the tick of a neuroatypical oddball is, for me at least, beside the point. Dude is a lying, narcissistic, dangerous moron regardless.

Reading the older biography, or even just seeing him in various interviews, I don't think that he was always like this. What's weird is that he was bullied as a child, and now he's sucking the teat of one and assisting in the bullying. If you've ever watched the walk-arounds he's done with the Everyday Astronaut guy, Musk is a bona fide engineer. How he went from Tony Stark to Lex Luthor is beyond me.

Part of the human condition is that power corrupts. That's just the deal. When you are surrounded by people who tell you how awesome you are all of the time, it is easy to start believing they are correct.

High Five!

Precisely.
