It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Oh no he had to hide his chain of Beverly Hills McMansions after getting criticized. billionaire-tears

It's dehumanizing, creepy, and just exhaustively cringe when children get named after Le Epic Basic Algebra Concepts by the living gestalt amalgamation of "I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE" Reddit techbros.

This is partially consigned to the dunk tank because the biography writer is absolutely terrible too, being sycophantic and incompetent while trying to villainize the wrong person.

Grimes was outraged

What do these people think they are getting into when they let this guy into their lives?

How is any of this a surprise?

It is mistifying: "I can fix him/her" will never, ever end as a core belief among those who seek out total assholes as companions.

yea

Money.

Well, so marry, enjoy the money and don't complain then. very-intelligent

I’ve heard excerpts of this bio that sound so incredibly biased and also opposed to non-money-making people’s accounts of Musk’s character / genius. It’s like a fucking love letter to the richest man ever, it’s so weird.

The motivation could be as crude and pathetic as the motivation to wedge in a my-hero reference on Star Trek Discovery: the director wanted a free Tesla for the shout-out.

"Adventurism bad" and all that, but this guy seriously needs to have his brain make friends with a brick.

if I was in a situation to name a kid, I would pick something super common and gender neutral with a ton of nicknames so they could go whatever way and stand out or blend in as much as they wanted. and really, the names we give others at birth are just place holders anyway for whatever personality and community driven names people pick up along the way.

take me, for example. my name is Mexico, but people call me Double Down. not really, but that would be awesome.

That's why King Bazinga didn't do that. He sees his children as tally marks on a scoreboard and as a reflection of whatever sad facades he wants to put up for praise and validation.
