    Elon Musk loves to have friends in high places — until those friends happen to be embroiled in widespread sex crime scandals

    Ah yes, dumping people for them doing vile stuff, how very intolerable

      The contention is that Musk did not “dump” those “friends” for doing vile stuff so much as participate, before later distancing himself when it became convenient.

        Blatant, direct hypocrisy and whitewashing of his own history isn’t a legitimate reason to hate someone who’s running a massive disinformation campaign to get a fascist elected? Your standards are weird.

        It’s the hypocrisy.

        An example: ex-mormons can criticize current Mormons for their current beliefs. Ex-mormons can’t criticize other ex-mormons for their previous briefs.

        Thank you for being probably the only person who actually read my comment and understood it

        When you’re not radically anti-Musk to an extent of absurdity, people just assume that you must be his sympathizer

        I wholeheartedly despise this guy and I have much more valid reasons to.
