He doesn't pay bills, litigates, and even uses his enormous social media following to harass any person/entity he doesn't like. Quite frankly, he's a lot like Trump. They both seem to be sociopaths. No matter how much destruction they create for others, they have to be on the winning side.
- 3cats-in-a-coat 3y agoChoosing to deal with Musk is an equation of crossing a sufficient (if ever increasing) threshold of greed, ignorance and desperation. But the problem is a lot of people have a lot of those. Same with Trump. They do have a lot of similarities yes. They're half conmen, half businessmen. With "half" being a somewhat crude measure here.
- renegade-otter 3y agoA surprising number of people out there have Trump-like tendencies, but for the most part those were dormant before. Trump blasted onto the scene and showed everyone that it is OK to be horrible. It's actually "manly". People like Musk, who are highly impressionable and needy (so that's also in common), mimic that behavior and the twisted version of masculinity - "I can do whatever I want, nothing matters". Just recall how invisible he was before all these years. A lot of us had very high opinion of Musk because he didn't talk much, really. He kept to himself, and you had to dig really deep to find out that, yeah, he is kind of a tool in real life. Once he started acting out his "Trump", the downward spiral began.
