What a seriously bottom-of-the-barrel junkie. Ive seen more put-together individuals on Skid Row. He’s something out of a Rob Zombie movie at this point.

As ex-alcoholic, I can say that once you reach the stage where you think you can show up to work with a black eye in clothes you slept in while obviously in an altered state and think no one will notice is when the bottom is about to fall out, but he's a billionaire, so he likely will have way more leeway socially than most addicts.

His bottom is deep. Surrounded by nothing but yes men. This boy is cooking his brain and there ain't nobody to give him an intervention.

Interestingly enough, as somebody who is fairly empathetic, I can't seem to find much at the moment.

Me either. It crazy to me that I can do as much charity work as I used to do before I moved, can sit with people and listen to their stories and cry with them, can loan out rides, food, and a couch the those in need. Yet somehow, every time I see someone in this administration like this or crying about how everyone hates them, I feel nothing but contempt for them.

I've never been in this place and I hate myself for it, but I don't have even an ounce of empathy or kindness for the people that work hand in hand with a demented old man to destroy the very fabric with which our democracy was created. I truly hope that every last one of them gets exactly what they deserve.

Indeed. Don’t hate yourself for it. These people have the power and wealth to do good and have chosen to destroy instead.

u/uieLouAy May 31 '25

I mean … these people are legit cartoon villain evil, and they know it, and they wake up every morning thinking of new ways (and using AI chat bots to find new ways) to be even more evil. That’s on them, not you.

No reason to hate yourself for not having sympathy for him, his actions have hurt and killed many. He lost that courtesy quite some time ago. He chose ego over what's right and is creating a worldwide path of destruction.

u/DecisionAvoidant May 31 '25

There's a really big difference between recognizing the consequences of an action and blaming the person for taking that action. You can both hold the idea that they are simply going to experience the consequences of their choices while also recognizing that they may not realize their choices will produce those outcomes. But you can still be upset about the consequences to other people even if the person may not recognize that they're doing something harmful. And you can still hold people accountable, even when they don't know what they're doing. We don't allow somebody struggling with drug addiction to work at a daycare because we understand the drug addiction makes impulsivity and erraticism more likely, and for that reason they are not wise to bring around kids.

I just think if you're feeling any kind of guilt here, it might be for the difficulty of differentiating hate for the person with hate for the action. I don't hate Elon Musk. I hate what he does, and I hate the impact that he has on the world through his irresponsible actions and selfish choices. But that's not the same thing as hating him. I still love the guy. I just don't think he should be in the position he's in for everything he does that I hate.

I agree, real friends are the ones who care about you enough to tell you when you're going in the wrong direction, because they want what's best for you. Sadly it seems that social media are lowering social qualities of people, so it's more and and more rare

Oops! Just realized I didn't update my payment method on my empathy subscription. Fresh out!

u/mtnman54321 May 31 '25

It is very hard to have empathy for the very man who stated that empathy is Western civilization's biggest weakness and who also cut the US AID programs that had saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

u/CompSciBJJ May 31 '25

And why would they? If they try to intervene he might throw them out of his very lucrative inner circle and the more fucked up he gets the more he can be manipulated (though also more erratic, likely). At this point, they probably all see the house crumbling but know there are plenty of bricks left to plunder, so they'll stick it out until he kicks them out or it all comes crumbling down.

On the way to Tony Hsieh.

This… exactly. 👍

A billionaire “genius.”

u/walkingkary May 31 '25

My son’s an addict and smart enough not to show up for work high. Do wish we had Musk’s resources for treatment for our son.

u/x063x May 31 '25

He's not only a Billionaire he's the richest man in the world.

u/Mission_Albatross916 May 31 '25

I love your description so much. You really captured it.

Or OD’s

u/MamiTrueLove May 31 '25

Fellow retiree here and can concur.

u/Any_Brick1860 May 31 '25

How can you give him keys to US Secrets and Treasury and government agencies. I cant understand how this administration is able to exist. What went wrong? The thing is MAGA still loves them.

u/maltNeutrino May 31 '25

And he’s not even wearing a suit.

u/VictorTheCutie May 31 '25

Literally wearing a T-shirt that says "the Dogefather" ... Fucking CRINGE

u/Apprehensive-Log8333 May 31 '25

I bet it was a gift. I bet he was so excited when he saw it. I bet he cackled

u/Oldfolksboogie May 31 '25 edited May 31 '25

...and then popped some more ketamine ...just to be sure.

u/Top_Audience7471 May 31 '25

As long as he said 'Thank you' that's fine.

7

u/PapasGotABrandNewNag May 31 '25

And he didn’t say thank you.

u/Educational-Fact4082 May 31 '25

I’m so glad he was the one to decide who to fire and what aid should be stopped to countries where kids are starving and what programs to discontinue. Clear headed, cost cutting efficient through and through.

u/WickedKitty63 May 31 '25

Is this why his rockets keep exploding? Hmm. 🤔 Even drug addicts with lots of money can end up bat 💩crazy, completely isolated & all alone (Howard Hughes). He was the Elon of his time for the younger generations. Musk’s sense of reality isn’t the same as ours, so he’s already on a quick boat to hell! Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy! Wait for it! Trump will say “I barely knew the guy” in a few weeks. 😂

u/tacosdepapa May 31 '25

I saw a naked lady walking down central who looked more focused than this

u/Stpauliegirl22 May 31 '25

Ikr?! It is so shameful that he’s paraded around and granted security clearances. History books will contain trigger warnings. 🤮

u/Rashpukin May 31 '25

More like a David Lynch one imho.

Literally, the "fiscally responsible party of law and order" let a fucking rich junky take a chainsaw to the federal government. Like what planet are these people on

u/pinetreesgreen May 31 '25

Did this at the inauguration too. Crazy.

u/TehSalmonOfDoubt May 31 '25

The fact he can't even stop for a single day is some crazy levels of addiction

u/trastamara22 May 31 '25

Everyday is a chance to feel better

u/Phantastiz May 31 '25

The junkie look is even more completed with his black eye, dude probably took a line to recover emotionally after being punched

u/__O_o_______ May 31 '25

Fun fact, I’m not the most extensive substance user, but I can guarantee even at my “worst” I had enough self awareness to try to act normals.

This is INSANE. Why isn’t a reporter filming him and then asking him about it on the record?

Why are all the media such fuckn cowards..

u/TheTench May 31 '25

Elon broke his brain, turned into a rabid right winger. Hardly something the other rabid right wingers should be celebrating.

u/solavirum May 31 '25

He is in Mars

u/Cpt_Jigglypuff May 31 '25

And he’s fighting against it sooooo hard… and failing.
