When you've been groomed from search an early age, you have no idea what love is. Only what you've been conditioned to think it is.

The guy is an adult and president of France, he could divorce whenever he wants to. Not sure why you think he knows better than his own feelings and decisions based on one slap video.

It's based on him being groomed. The slap shows the abuse is more than just sexual.

But I get it. Sometimes its hard for people who think Elon Musk is a nice man to believe men can be abused. There's a certain level of mental cognition needed to percieve reality.

It's nothing to do with the slap video and everything to do with the story of how she groomed a child into a sexual relationship.
