    You are more than welcome to take those drugs. They aren’t that expensive and are widespread in this country.

    It is a well known fact that Elon takes them so go on and put your money where your mouth is. Then again, you and I both know that those drugs are terrible for your brain and mental well being.

    Go, take Ketamine, alcohol and ambien and hang out with the SV ‘visionaries’ (or perhaps more accurately, the Silicon Valley hallucinators). Let us know when you become a billionaire. But I’m going to bet that they rot your brain and make you have reckless decisions.

    Making large scale decisions while on hallucinogens is literally their culture. It’s kind of why Elon can barely string a sentence together (oh, sorry, I mean why his speech pattern is so quirky). Or why he throws $44 Billion at Twitter.

      Imagine taking all those drugs and still being millions of times more successful than you are.

      You just sound bitter tbh.

        Why would I be bitter about that? Its a well known fact that the rich and famous are sexually deviant cokeheads who invite Weinstein and/or Epstein to their parties. None of this is new information. Well… different drugs for different ultrarich cultures. East Coast New Yorkers are more of that cokeheads, SV is more hallucinogens. But drugs and sex all the same.

        But if you’re asking me to evaluate the capabilities of this man… well… things speak for themselves, don’t they?

        You are seemingly unable to point to any actual virtue this man has aside from his money and power and immediately push into personal insults when you’ve run out of ideas for where this discussion could go.

        Is there like a specific taste profile to cum from the ultra rich?

        I only ask because you really seem to like the taste. There must be something to it, right?

          A degree of shittalking is fine, but this is getting too far for my tastes.

          Consider this an official warning. I’m not necessarily against vulgarities or direct attacks, but I do prefer it if they were at least related to the idea of the post you’re responding to. If the insult works in a universal setting (like how I’d argue your post is), and is also vulgar and personal, that’s a lot of negatives that don’t help the discussion.

            “He won’t pay you, stop sucking already” one comment down.

            Yeah thanks for the warning, I’m sure it matters.

              Oh trust me, I recognize that the other guy isn’t exactly the best one to have a discussion. But there is a line crossed here with respect to vulgarities and how personal the attack got. That’s all.

              I’m not deleting your message, I’m not banning you, I’m not doing anything in particular. But I feel like posting an official warning in my moderator voice is necessary for the long-term benefits of this discussion space.

              I’m juggling different needs here. The post you’re talking about came first, and in isolation a singular personal attack from a singular person isn’t a big deal, especially if the other guy brushes it off. But now we have a 2nd personal attack with a bit more vulgar language, and now I the moderator needs to step in and warn people that things are getting too far. Understand? Its not about what others have done, its the fact that you’re the 2nd person, so its already getting out of hand and we’re crossing a line into a dogpiling. That’s not beneficial to anyone.

              Its an official warning because I don’t think you’re necessarily deserving of any official punishment. But this kind of dogpiling is behavior I’d like to minimize if at all possible.

          Some one else in the thread already called me a cock sucker. If you’re going to try and insult me instead of challenging my point of view then do at least try to be original.

            Point being you exist in a system that, at it’s highest levels, considers you a drone. You could make 150k a year. You are still just a cog to the people on top.

            That might be ok with you. For someone like me? That makes me blind with rage, that anyone would be ok with a system that treats them as if they’re worth less.

            Take it how you will, I do not care. I am simply being cordial for the sake of the nice moderator.

              Yeah I wasn’t really debating our socio-economic system and I don’t wholly disagree with your statement. I was just saying that the implication that Musk is a bad businessman sounds extremely naive at best.
