There are a lot of people here on this board who are still, as Q put it, "following the stars". They cannot seem to shake off the tendency to put blind faith in celebrities and they get angry when aspersions are cast on their idols because they DO have emotional attachments to them. They saw this costume and immediately made excuses for it because they WANT Elon to be a good guy.
It's nice to see a bit of "evidence" that he wore it to yank chains. Whatever the case turns out to be, I do rather like Elon and hope he's turned, and it's been GREAT fun watching the Twatter debacle.
The question though, is why is there the need of people here to have musk to be a good guy? Unless you know the guy personally, or he indirectly helped you through a friend, why are people so completely bedazzled by this guy, and feel the need to white knight for him CONSTANTLY? It's nearly as bad as the fawning others have with other celebs/entertainers. He didn't create paypal, telsa, and yes he funded/started/colaborated spacex, but he sure as hell isn't doing equations or engineering there. Are people so starving for inspiration and direction in their lives, they need to fill it with the lives of others who are not precisely stellar examples of character?
I have no idea. I don't even think they comprehend how silly this kind of blind faith makes them look. They're like teenage girls fawning over Kim Kardashian or something.
Musk's a total stranger to probably ALL of us here. I don't spend much time responding to their outraged comments (when ANYTHING negative is said about Elon), because what can you say to someone who WANTS to blindly trust famous people?
I hope he's nice, and he seems like good fun, and I hope his intentions are good. And that's about all any of us got, methinks. Just watching and enjoying the antics!
I like it too, given the number on the phone.
