    I know the guy’s on a shit ton of drugs and is such a corrupt narcissist he jumped around on stage calling himself “Black MAGA” but surely even he knows number one is never, ever, ever going to happen.

      I get what you mean, but if he were capable of recognizing that, I’m not sure he’d have gotten to this point in the first place.

      I suspect that Elon has fully bought in to the idea of meritocracy insofar as his status as the richest or second richest man on earth is a direct reflection of the value of his character. As such, I also suspect that he thinks as highly of you or me as we may think of gnats or house flies. He likely thinks the average person is a gibbering idiot with a prejudice that is very different from the one developed by retail workers. That is, his prejudice is born not from the experience of learning to run defense and preserve sanity, but from the common, daily pattern of exploiting people, and the fact that he’s rich and you’re not.
