Well now you make me want to hear your story. Not everyone can have a personal experience with the world non-champion.
I have met Musk! This was in 2018 at a startup conference, pre-wtf Elon days.
He was actually really inspiring about his dream of space and humanity. But he was also weirdly edgelord. Then we all realize he was a walking talking meme and going around doing that backpack kid floss dance everywhere while people were trying to talk serious with him.
If you told me the guy was 25-30, i would believe you. But the dude is in his 50s, has a bunch of kids who don't speak to him.
What a fucking loser.
Of all the things he could be doing as a billionaire and he chooses to be an edgy memelord. It is pathetic. Also it is vile how he is assisting Nazis reach an audience for Naziism. Pathetic and vile.
He needs people to love him and he's discovered that if he says all the atrocious things he truly believes, there is a group of people who will love him because of it.
I can see how he inspired people back then. He never inspired me because he always seemed a little off to me, but I had no idea why. There was just something creepy about him.
And now we all know why.
I'm not sure it was "pre-wtf" days, the "pedo guy" submarine thing happened before that, didn't it?
