Okay this is the perfect post for me to share my hypothesis that Elon Musk is an asshole, but is doing it in such a way that he panders to people that listen to Joe Rogan so they stop thinking electric vehicles are just for women and gays.

Remember how brutal society was to male Prius owners for so long?

Again, he's most definitely a real asshole, but some of his dialouge seems way out of left field, almost like a caricature of a generic dude bro
