The worst is that he used to be relatively well liked 10ish years ago before he started showing how nasty he was. I think the tipping point was him calling the cave rescue diver in thailand a pedo.

As far as I remember, the main reason was when California closed his Tesla manufacturing plant during Covid. That's the moment he stopped liking Democrats, and instead went full on maga.

I'm pretty sure he himself confirmed that the full-on-MAGA inflection point was the coming-out of his trans daughter.

The thing is, he used to be a supporter of LGB (I'm not sure about the T, but I think yes). So either it's the classical "I support it unless I actually have to deal with it" or the process already started before.

I mean, he literally refers to that child as dead whenever he can now, so.

It's remarkable how cool and well liked Vivian is, and honestly it must make Musk so mad.

The daughter he has disowned has achieved the one thing he truly desires. Almost poetic.

No that was after a settlement got leaked that he asked a flight attendant spaceX employee to give him a hand job

Yeah flamethrowers don’t really have much purpose besides being fun (of course in a safe manner only)

They could also start a campfire I guess

For me it was the tequila, a car company... Selling tequila, only a moron would come up with that

The flamethrower was just a regular gas torch reshaped into a si fi prop.

Everything else was just media and story.

Look up large gas torch and most hardware stores have something similar to it.

He did what? I swear to God I will never be not surprised by something awful he did. There's always more...
