    Is he being a weirdness shield for the GOP? Like every time we make fun of Trump or Vance he has to do something like this to distract people?

      Google says he has Asperger’s, which would make this, eh, kinda normal.

      When I was 16, I wouldn’t be able to have a mutually consensual romantic conversation without saying something that cringed even myself out remembering it the next day.

        im sorry for being this rude,
        but Fuck of with that bullshit excuse.

        I have Asbergers aswell, and have been arround a lot of other Autists.

        even the heaviest cases i know would have known better than to post such vile shit.

        This is not some akward mistake while attempting to flirt,
        this is at best yelling vile and inappropriate shit at a complete stranger,
        and at worst it could be considered a thinly veiled rape theat.

        As somebody with Aspergers i feel downright insulted that you attempted to blame this on ‘the sperg’.

        And in addition to that,
        hes not some 16 year old kid,
        hes in his 50s for gods sake.

          No you’re not, and no I won’t.

          I have Asbergers aswell, and have been arround a lot of other Autists.

          Well, I hadn’t, except for my sister, so, especially back then, I was desperately trying to have social things other have by effort.

          Going into offensive in that could look similar to what Musk posted.

          and at worst it could be considered a thinly veiled rape theat.

          At worst. I first took it as a very awkward attempt to seem magnanimous\friendly, plus Musk’s weird ideas about healthy relationships.

          Anyway, can he fulfill that threat were it a threat? No? Then it’d be similar to what 4chan inhabitants write. Inappropriate is not the same as evil. Though I guess he and the Internet would both benefit from cutting ties.

          As somebody with Aspergers i feel downright insulted that you attempted to blame this on ‘the sperg’.

          Well, sorry, but since I wasn’t aiming for you, irrelevant.

          hes in his 50s for gods sake.

          The say older people are more like kids, ha-ha-ha

          You are way too fucking serious and judgemental.

        The dude has had long enough to learn how to mask. He knows what he’s saying and what it means. Don’t make excuses and definitely do not try to besmirch what little positivity autistic people have these days

          Autistic people go to therapy to stop masking. Masking is wrong and bad.

    You know who need to be called out? The idiots who keep upvoting and sharing these useless news. Stop giving them free ads.

      I’m totally okay with people pointing out the fact that the man is a creepy sexist jerk face. And I’m totally okay with people doing it a lot, because he has too much power, and you can’t just pretend he doesn’t exist and that his actions don’t matter.

        I have only two questions:

        1. Who elected Elon Musk?

        2. What can we do to make him go away?

        Unless you have something serious on him that could actually undermine his fame all this news does is free ads and outshadow better content.

        I agree, but at some point we’re just feeding into the concept that any exposure is good exposure.

        I wish that this guy would just disappear.

          He probably had a think tank think it up to offset the great news that Swift endorsed Kamala.

          So yes, I think you are totally correct. It’s just media and exposure now.

      No, the richest person in the world publicly threatening rape against the most famous woman at the moment for endorsing the opposite candidate from him should be a headline and should be spoken as such. A threat of rape.

      Pay attention and call out. Don’t give him any support at all though.
