David CornIt's hard to imagine being the richest human in the world and waking up to worry about "woke mind virus." How deranged is that? You could be pondering how to redress climate change, deal with global poverty, protect democracy, or build cool cars and shoot rockets into space.
WeAre Rosie@DavidCorn he got sucked into the Peter Theil cult of death.
M Horstmeier@DavidCorn even build cool rockets and shoot cars into space was more productive
SloanLA@DavidCorn His narcissism is running his life. And cruelty is what he thinks is funny.
Vayhi 🗳@SloanLA @DavidCorn sounds like someone else I know... 🙄
@Vayhi @DavidCorn Every other narcissist? LOL
PixelLoki@SloanLA @DavidCorn We’re watching narcissistic collapse in real-time.
jazz6stringfan@DavidCorn he could’ve bought a sports team and spent like crazy on players and been visible and beloved.

Lucy B@DavidCorn I think that this is a problem inherent in being so rich and powerful. It is made worse because he, like many others, has an expectation of being worshipped. People like this are completely unable to deal with anything less. They become even more twisted and lash out as scorn is heaped on them. Their ego makes them incapable of introspection.
Tofu Golem@DavidCorn
In the name of fighting "wokeness," Republicans banned hundreds of books all over the country, including a Pulitzer-winning book famous for criticizing the Nazi Holocaust.
Thus, we can infer what conservatives mean when they say "woke." To them it means "not a Nazi."
And just like that, you know why Elon is so angry about the "woke mind virus."
Howard Cheng@DavidCorn What exactly is the “woke mind virus” meant to be?
Perkins@DavidCorn Maybe a marketing strategy? Or trying to drive traffic through being a stooge? Every wrestling match needs a villain.
Aviva Gary@DavidCorn I mean true... and many people would be like you (and I) but for him/them it is always about more. A zero sum game. And they just want more, more more. That's it.
Dr Dan Marshall@DavidCorn Howard Hughes, Kleenex boxes on his feet. So not without precedence, but Musk is setting new records.
anotherAKGorman@DavidCorn It's frightening. He has so much influence over so many people and he using it to hurt.

Aphrodite (recharging)y’all are missing the point
he’s doing this deliberately
he chooses to do this because he seeks power because in his has He Is Right and everything he does buttresses that base belief and the logical conclusion with such a mindset that he should be in charge of everything
nobody can challenge him
@DavidCorn He could also be donating to charity, his own, for the tax breaks.
