The ketamine side effects probably had him fall and/or bump into something.

[–] neukenindekeuken 73 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Yeah, honestly, as much as I want there to be some drama here, he probably did this to himself by accident. The kid punching him story is stupid, fake, gay, dumb, etc. Nobody really believes that shit.

If someone did actually punch him, he would have lost his shit, there would be a much larger fallout.

He's just a drug addict (not a bad thing, lots of beautiful people are, let's not shame), who is abusing others around him as a result of his drug abuse. He probably just hit his head on something while fucked on Special K/E/Adderall/etc.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 6 days ago (6 children)

I think most addicts would disagree with you that being an addict isn't a bad thing.

[–] neukenindekeuken 57 points 6 days ago (13 children)

Hating addicts for being addicts, is a bad thing. They're still people, with full lives, and can be wonderful humans. They may also need help, or they may choose not to get help. The point being, we shouldn't judge people based on whether or not they're an addict.

[–] Rekorse 7 points 5 days ago

Noone said they were hating him for his drug use. Being a drug addict is a bad thing by definition. If it wasnt a negative for the person we wouldnt call it addiction.

Unfortunately drug addicts are "judged" because they are simply riskier to associate with than a sober person. I'm not sure how many sober people are actually left though, and most people won't disclose their drug addictions.

In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Gabor Mate was pivotal in reframing my perspective on addiction and addicts.

I LOVE that he thinks his leaving government to refocus on Tesla will solve the sales issue Tesla has been experiencing.

He just does not get it.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago

That picture doesn't look like the picture of a guy who will finally deliver self driving cars after promising they were less than one year away for the last 20 years.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago

The drugs ate his already small brain

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (3 children)

The sad thing is if he steps away from politics, I think the outrage will subside in a couple of months. The public doesn't have that strong a memory in the best of times, with the pace of news nowadays, very few people will remember how much of problem he was being.

So yes, just locking him out of the spotlight would be enough. His leadership is not great, but distracting him could really save Tesla's image.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (4 children)

I am hopeful that the pain continues for him. Tesla was the only option for a few years for an EV with >100mile range and a nation wide system for charging. Those things are not true anymore. I mean I got chargers near my visitor center tourist area with a population of ~40k ffs. He had a monopoly and a comically inflated stock valuation. The stock is currently seeing a proper rebalance now that there is competition. Dude had a defacto monopoly, and pissed it away to do two Nazi salutes. He likely will never be actually broke, and Tesla isn't going away completely anytime soon. But any economic pain he endures is a slight glimmer of hope.

what do you call a Nazi with a black eye?

a good start

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I've known ket users, and I know how he got that black eye - he tried to walk across a room and fell over and hit his head.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

His mind is on the verge of becoming complete mush due to drug abuse isn't it?

He looks and sounds like a druggie that will soon become homeless due to complete disassociation with reality, how can this even happen with personal doctors and clinics, and diets, and cosmetologists and whatever else?

[–] anomnom 75 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Micheal Jackson had all those things and still OD’d on tranquilizers.

Drugs can be a helluva drug. Also billionaires don’t think that anyone else has the right to tell them “no”.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 6 days ago

Also, Musk is notoriously overconfident that he can learn anything better than experts. No doubt in my mind he's decided how much ketamine and other drugs he "needs," and has pliant doctors to agree.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Also billionaires don’t think that anyone else has the right to tell them “no”.

Also, billionaires have enough money to find a doctor who will tell them, "yes."

And, billions of dollars to have lackeys find you drugs. And private fucking jets to fly to countries with drugs, and bring you back drugs. And a bestie you bought a Presidency for, to keep the DEA from seeing your plane.

Motive, means, and opportunity.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

And most of all, a gargantuan ego that refuses to believe anything bad can happen to them.

Hitler enjoyed when his inner circle fought with each other. Elon Musk is going out on good terms. The rich have solidarity in their class. Instead of focusing on Elon Musk, maybe you should focus on the dystopic security state that is being built by Palantir. Peter thiel is the anti social Angry gay man who runs that shit.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The video of him here is pretty suspect too. Sure looks like he's rolling on some shit.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago

With his head normally so far up his own ass, this is more probable than a physical scuffle.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago

When is he not?

[–] [email protected] 59 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Don't you think he looks tired?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

Nice doctor who reference :D

[–] [email protected] 49 points 6 days ago

He puts the cunt in contusion. Works better out loud rather than written though.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 days ago

Kid got tired of being used as a human shield in public.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 days ago

Give him more

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago

Probably fell and cracked his head while down the k-hole.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 days ago (1 children)

"can you imagine, calling him an employee?"

Hey get this, if you're a worker in any industry Trump doesn't respect you.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

Which was literally the premise of The Apprentice

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

Who cares?! He is a fascist scum!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Oh don't worry, he just tripped and fell into a doorknob from a door that someone was swinging into his stupid face.

Edit: fixed typo

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Should have been a sack of doorknobs.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

Never seen a more beautiful shiner.

Musk was also asked about his bruised eye, which he attributed to rough-housing with his five-year-old son.

Not news

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 days ago

The journalist should have seen if he could name the child.

It suits him, although two would be even better. Also, I'd love to see him picking up his former teeth.
