My brother insists that any criticism of musk or his companies must be because one is biased against him and wants him to fail. When asked if he may be biased towards Musk and dismissing negatives because of his bias, his response is something along the lines of “he’s very successful so he can’t be dumb or a bad manager of his companies”. It’s all 4D chess. It’s so frustrating.

The same can be said of 45. Some people can't be reached.

What is with this unfalsifiable obsession these people have? Like, nothing works like that

He seems to vacillate between different people he puts up on a pedestal every couple years. He’s big into the Joe Rogan podcast now and shilling for Musk.

In the past it’s seems like it was Ron Paul, then Rand Paul, then Mitt Romney, then Ted Cruz, then Thomas Sowell, then Ben Sasse, etc. there may be others I missed. It’s basically the conservative du jour that is the most amazing person ever right now and because it’s basically hero worship by a different name, it’s not a rational position you can use rationality to argue against.

Some people are just Kool Aid drinkers. Doesn't matter what the flavor is, they're just thirsty.

I'm just waiting for her to quit. Who would work for someone that don't respect one word you have to say?

The article goes into. Shes a big Trump booster, a "slash and burn" manager, someone who believes she was destined to be a CEO, and someone willing to believe "alternative facts" if they help her out.

Basically, shes a shiny shithead. A fine match to Musks slimy shithead.

Linda will need a hair transplant by Easter at this rate.

That depends. Do the checks keep clearing?

Downvote Musk spam.

The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle. Don’t be a useful idiot.
