What do you think about Vivian Jenna Wilson's decision to speak out against her father, Elon Musk, in a public interview with NBC News?

His current affiliation is prima facie evidence that he does not, indeed, “give a fuck about climate change”.

Elon a Christian? Hehe. Ha-ha. Ho-ho.^†

Look, I don’t know if you genuinely believe this or if you live in your own delusional fantasy land and frankly, I don’t care. It seems to me like you’re trying to rebuild your brand image as the “caring paternal father” which I will not let go unchallenged. If I’m going to be honest, this is absolutely pathetic…

Why am I more attracted to black men?

Branding. Yep. Serial adulterer? Maybe not entirely distant from the truth. Nicole Shanahan? Seems very likely—ask Sergey Brin. And test-tube adultery (Zilis)? Is this a thing? Eugh. Wipes hands.

^‡ An interesting factoid: some of the earliest transcriptions of Afrikaans were written in the 1830s in the madrasah in Cape Town—in Arabic! لسانِ افرکانس This is in start contrast to the subsequent Afrikaner emphasis, on, well, let’s not beat about the bush—”white racial purity”.^§ I wonder where Musk got his 14 word ideas from? Let me think…

I would mention the birth rate stuff, but I am not touching that weird 14-words breeder shit with a ten foot pole. You single-handedly disillusioned me with how gullible we are as a species because somehow people keep believing you for reasons that continue to evade me.”

How can people balance religious beliefs with seeking professional mental health care?

What strikes me about couch-dwellers like JD Vance and increasingly, his new bestie Elon Musk, is, well, simply a word. A word that naturally springs to mind when I think of them. It’s this …

^§ This would be side-splittingly funny—were Apartheid not so tragic—once you realise that Afrikaans speakers are likely the most genetically diverse humans on the planet. I wrote a bit about this previously on Quora:

Jesus, was I ever wrong! Looking at his recent pronouncements, as another former South African, I can only say:

How does someone start doing urban exploration?

I’m not going to touch his Dutch activist breeder shit either. Aagh.

I must confess

You are not “saving the planet”, you do not give a fuck about climate change and you’re lying about multi-planetary civilization as both an excuse, and because you want to seem like the CEO from Ready Player One.

Why can't ugly women date hot guys? I know a woman who wants a hot BF but people would just laugh at her and ask her "what can you bring to the table for him?", isn't that messed up?

First, why not let the lady speak for herself?

My 2c, Dr Jo

Why is Roblox so laggy it’s unplayable? My computer is fine and the internet is great.

creepy

It seems increasingly clear that it was always, only about Elon. Everything. Let’s check out those grievances, then:

Elon, ek ken kak as ek kak sien.^*

Atheists, there is a god up there in heaven and he loves you so much that he sent his son to die the worst death imaginable and then to turn into a zombie all to save you from sin. Why do you reject him?

^† As Terry Pratchett points out, a ho-ho is deeper than a ha-ha. And Elon seems to have dug himself into one :)

Discrimination (and perhaps even worse, not listening to concerns being raised about sex discrimination)? Well, he’s currently being sued about this. Multiply. Tesla recently coughed up $3m to settle a lawsuit against a black man who was subject to racial slurs and swastikas on a daily basis. And so on. The buck stops with you, Elon.

Anger, surely. But where’s the truth?

You are not a family man, you are a serial adulterer who won’t stop fucking lying about your own children. You are not a Christian, as far as I’m aware you’ve never stepped foot in a church. You are not some “bastion for equality/progress”. You called Arabic the “language of the enemy” when I was 6, have been sued for discrimination multiple times, and are from Apartheid South Africa.

^* If you’re struggling with the translation, then Google Translate is your friend here—and will even read to you. It’s more emphatic in the original Afrikaans. I find it strange that a language seemingly designed for swearing at manual labourers should have some of the most heartfelt poetry too.^‡ This however is not one of those sentences.

But putting this all aside…

But perhaps I’m now being unfair. What do you think?

How come Jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday? That's not 3 days and three nights.

I was taken in for some time by Elon. I used to rationalise, with thoughts like “Perhaps there is no such thing as bad publicity. Elon keeps people interested in technology by constantly being in the limelight—but if he wants to do things like normalise EVs and make humans a transplanetary species, surely we can forgive him some clumsy and somewhat boorish behaviour from time to time?”
