I said the exact same thing in the Off Topic Stock Market thread. If you're curious, you can go read that thread.
Sorry, I'm not curious about it at all. Just not into letting people say crazy fucked up shit so they can try to pretend it is established fact. Especially when that involves denigrating someone, trying to dismiss them helping to save children, and even resorting to calling them a pedophile because of it.
The British diver is no saint. He's the one who first instigated it. Musk just fired back. The exchange basically boiled down to two people calling each other names like a fight at the playground. If you punch someone out of the blue, you have to expect punch back. Maybe that's what the British guy was counting on.
Yeah, no saint, he just helped rescue kids trapped in a cave. What a piece of shit, right? That you're acting like him calling Musk's publicity stunt what it clearly was mitigates him doing that or that you think that makes him a bigger asshole than Musk is absurd and straight up bullshit.
Out of the blue...haha. Seriously? Yeah out of the blue Musk stuck himself into that situation, which caused the guy to call his antics what it was. He was counting on Musk calling him a pedophile? So basically he knew that Musk would be a piece of shit with the mind of a 12 year old? Musk is in for a very rough life if he can't handle something like that better than lashing out and calling the guy a pedophile.
So at best you're admitting that you're acting like a grade school kid on the playground? Hell you can't even cop that you're being reactionary to the guy seeing as how that happened weeks ago and he has no idea you exist, so you're just acting like that because you apparently worship Musk so much. Yet even Musk realized the error of his mouthing off and you seemingly don't.
I dont know why you have it in for Elon, personally Ill give him a pass, he is doing more for mankind that any other current iteration of our DNA. To err is human and Musk is but human. So am I so are you, let it go man.
Now, see people like you and ponyo are exactly why people are taking issue with the cult of personality about Musk. Sorry but you trying to act like Musk is above reproach because of the hard work from the many (hundreds, actually thousands even now) people that work at those companies is straight up bullshit (that's explicitly why I have a problem with his behavior, as he could fuck over the companies with his antics). Let alone that you want people to just drop valid criticisms because you're such a big fan. Meanwhile we have another person calling someone a fucking pedophile for no reason other than Musk did and he's mad that the guy called out Musk for his publicity stunt. Personally, I'd much rather he be focused on dealing with the many many many issues his companies face than run around calling people rescuing children pedophiles just because he's mad about not getting to be the hero.
Oh, ok, well shit there's no reason to ever criticize a human being ever again. Hell, by that logic, man, why don't you just let it go, Blackjack200 is human, and to human is to err. Just let go of telling him to let go. Yay pointless circular arguments that accomplish absolutely nothing!
