Theres nobody left there to ask

Perhaps they contacted Twitter for a comment on Elon's drug use and got a statement that read: 💩

No. I interacted with him on two occasions during the PayPal days. They were pitching PayPal as a payment mechanism for a bunch of our verticals. Even back then he was weird, awkward, and cringe. I think there is video of him back then taking possession of a McLaren and you can see how cringe he was.

EDIT: Found it.. On rewatch, it doesn't really show how insufferable he was in person. It's funny to see how x.com gets recycled though.

The number of lies that came out of that Muppets mouth during that cringy piece was remarkable. My fav had to be 'just three years ago i was sleeping on the floor on the YMCA hostel'. what an absolute fucking donkey of a human.

I think I read somewhere he's hopped up on ket every day (but someone correct me if wrong)

Normalize pitying your enemies instead of hating them.

Empathy is to understand another's emotional state. Sympathy is to effectively mirror it.

Buuuut, much like "literally" now means "figuratively" and "decimate" has lost all meaning after being mistaken for "devastate"... Carry on. The species is circling the drain anyhow.

Sometimes I say "sympathy without empathy" for these situations lol

I like John Oliver's take that he really didn't like the orders to shut down factories during pandemic and got a lot of support from 'mah freedom' nutjobs over this causing not-so-slow fall into the extreme right rabbit hole. It actually makes a lot of sense. He clearly craves attention and approval. He used to get it from the left because electric cars are green and SpaceX is cool technology but eventually the left began demanding more regulation and he started getting some criticism (which he doesn't like that much...). At the same time he noticed that the right is ready to accept him as the 'free speech savior' and love him unconditionally as long as he will help them 'own the libs' so he switched sides.

I am guessing he had good publicists, probably decided he could do the job better and got rid of them just before the pedo thing.

I can tell you that nothing has changed about him. I personally know people who worked with him at that time, and he was just as much an arrogant and insufferable egoist as he is now. Legendary screaming matches and him talking completely out of his ass about absolutely everything were the norm and expected in every meeting.

Do any research on his tenure at Zip2/PayPal or any relationship he's ever had, and you'll see Musk has always been a petulant child, he just had a lot of people around him to try and hide it, but it seems like he's scared basically all of them away.

No no, now that he has a drug problem, we're supposed to pretend he's not a narcissist, never said anything racist or sexist, and is just a misunderstood entrepreneur.

Those were already handled by dedicated people in most places.

In 2018, for example, he took multiple tabs of acid at a party he hosted in Los Angeles. The next year he partied on magic mushrooms at an event in Mexico. In 2021, he took ketamine recreationally with his brother, Kimbal Musk, in Miami at a house party during Art Basel. He has taken illegal drugs with current SpaceX and former Tesla board member Steve Jurvetson.

That seems, uh, well-documented.

Also, Kimbal? Ok.

Unless you can't resist getting fancy and spelling it "cocagne*

There’s a high chance of both being the correct answer.

Most of my friends use the same drugs, but none of them are cunts like Musk.

Drugs are invoked a lot to explain and justify human behavior to some external factor. It's like when people say Nazis were on meth as an explaination for their actions, while not applying the same logic to basically every other military using amphetamines.
