this is a horrible sentence to write but we'd all be in a better place if Elon had decided Romney, not Trump, was his role model for how to engage with the internet

Unfortunately, Musk has multiple sock accounts that he's just fucking real weird on because he uses them to suck up to himself. Internet autofellatio.

but he can't run his scams that way

I think Romney has normal self esteem and was not bullied as a child too

Getting Musk to do something in a way that didn't give him the most amount of attention possible wasn't ever a real option.

But that’s no fun. How are you supposed to direct your mobs of sycophants?
