    His mind is on the verge of becoming complete mush due to drug abuse isn’t it?

    He looks and sounds like a druggie that will soon become homeless due to complete disassociation with reality, how can this even happen with personal doctors and clinics, and diets, and cosmetologists and whatever else?

    Musk was also asked about his bruised eye, which he attributed to rough-housing with his five-year-old son.

    It suits him, although two would be even better. Also, I’d love to see him picking up his former teeth.

      Yeah, honestly, as much as I want there to be some drama here, he probably did this to himself by accident. The kid punching him story is stupid, fake, gay, dumb, etc. Nobody really believes that shit.

      If someone did actually punch him, he would have lost his shit, there would be a much larger fallout.

      He’s just a drug addict (not a bad thing, lots of beautiful people are, let’s not shame), who is abusing others around him as a result of his drug abuse. He probably just hit his head on something while fucked on Special K/E/Adderall/etc.

        I think most addicts would disagree with you that being an addict isn’t a bad thing.

          Most people are drug addicts. Almost everyone I know is addicted to caffeine. Addiction sucks, but being an addict isn’t necessarily bad. It’s when it starts causing issues in your life or you can’t handle yourself properly that it’s a problem.

              Yeah, I think I’ve read that sugar is more addictive than cocaine. Put simply, we’re all addicted to things. I don’t know if anyone in this world can truly say they aren’t an addict. Some addiction are just more socially acceptable, but that just brings to light that addiction isn’t the issue, it’s the behavior. You should be allowed to be addicted to what you want as long as it doesn’t harm others.

              Virtually everyone is addicted to sugar, to the point that most people can’t imagine that it’s an addiction… until they try to stop.

          Hating addicts for being addicts, is a bad thing. They’re still people, with full lives, and can be wonderful humans. They may also need help, or they may choose not to get help. The point being, we shouldn’t judge people based on whether or not they’re an addict.

            In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Gabor Mate was pivotal in reframing my perspective on addiction and addicts.

                It expanded my understanding of their socioeconomic plight, psychological suffering, and physiological vicious cycle, exacerbated by ineffective draconian punitive measures implemented by government. It’s a truly excellent and compassionate book, I found the discussion on brain chemistry fascinating as well, and should be easy enough to find with Libby or at a local library.

            Noone said they were hating him for his drug use. Being a drug addict is a bad thing by definition. If it wasnt a negative for the person we wouldnt call it addiction.

            Unfortunately drug addicts are “judged” because they are simply riskier to associate with than a sober person. I’m not sure how many sober people are actually left though, and most people won’t disclose their drug addictions.

            This ideology started in the 60s and 70s with moral panics against minorities. Drug Addicts are inhumane in our society and well were pathetic.

            Where did you get the idea I hate/judge addicts? You made it up. You’re willing to wash away the ugliness that the disease of addiction is, and that’s a pretty bad thing to do.

            “That’s how they do it on 4chan” is probably one of the worst possible justifications for one’s behaviour.

                I think context matters. My queer friends and I will call each other the f-slur, but I wouldn’t use it at a family supper, for example. Likewise, I think the tone is different using “gay” in a queer meme community versus in a serious discussion on a news community.

                  I’m not defending the flippant use of it in day to day conversation. But considering this community (Lemmy) I think it’s fairly safe to say they were not being homophobic.

                  I shut that shit down quick with some Gen z roommates I had when they said it everyone they died in a video game. For context, I am two standard deviations to the right of the bell curve when it comes to largeness, and I don’t mean I was fat. My mom considered herself bi, but is married to a woman. After relaying that info to said roommate, I didn’t hear it again.

                  That being said, I don’t think that type is prone to the jumping through technological hoops required to create an account here.

        Not trying to give credit to Elonazi. I just remembered that my kid (~19 months) smashed the babyphone onto my head. I would have gotten a black eye for sure if he would have hit it. Still love him. My son, not Elonazi, of course.

    Hitler enjoyed when his inner circle fought with each other. Elon Musk is going out on good terms. The rich have solidarity in their class. Instead of focusing on Elon Musk, maybe you should focus on the dystopic security state that is being built by Palantir. Peter thiel is the anti social Angry gay man who runs that shit.
