How’s this Elon’s fault? He’s endlessly criticized in unjustified ways. That guy didn’t reasonably critize Elon’s plans, he instantly attacked his motives and said to stick his submarine up his rearend.
And 10% of Thailand’s GDP is based on the sex industry or $6.4 billion a year. “Pedo” is kind of a misused connotation but when people get attacked their impulse is to respond with a personal attack.
It’s not a “meltdown”. It’s just human nature magnified by Twitter.
- e1ven 8y agoI don't think davesque's comment said anything about "fault". He said he's gotten tired of all these stories about Tesla and Musk, so he's unlikely to buy a Tesla now. That's a statement about davesque and how his frustration is souring him on the brand. Fault doesn't really play into it.
- Krasnol 8y agoMusk is not 12. I can't believe somebody would seriously try to justify his pedo insult...What's next? justifying Trump?
- hunterjrj 8y agoPaging Scott Adams (or one of his sock puppets)...
- archagon 8y agoHe's a CEO, not a 12 year old boy, FFS.
- bishnu 8y agoMusk didn't seem to mind when the media cycle fawned over him endlessly. Hype comes with scrutiny. Nobody put a gun to Musk's head and told him to appear on talk shows, to cameo in Hollywood blockbusters, etc. If he wasn't prepared to make that tradeoff he shouldn't have done it.
- usrusr 8y agoHow could "but it was just a generic racial slur aimed at a whole nation!" make this any better? The correct line of defense would be "Musk said something stupid, move on".
