Honestly I knew Elon was, to be quite frank, to be an absolute idiot of the highest order. But the current shenanigans just has me feeling like "Our expectations for you were low but holy fuck"

Yeah, honestly I'm a bit ashamed that I didn't realize just how stupid that man could be, even after hearing that he leaned over to his new wife while dancing at their wedding and whispered in her ear "I am the alpha". Like, for a long time I just assumed the guy was an arrogant incel-esque asshole who was visionary about things like electric cars and reusable rockets and stuff. Now I realize he's just a rich egomaniac who stood on the shoulders of scientists that he hired so that he could act like their work was his own. He's just another rich fool who gets to cosplay being smart.
