    Bad title.

    Powerful people abusing their position to take advantage of others is, sadly, not unusual.

    The whole article is full of gross stuff if true. This part is ridiculous:

    A 2022 story reported that a flight attendant on Musk’s private jet said he exposed himself and offered “to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage,”

    Elon is such a weirdo.

      Damn I didn’t realize there were people who still didn’t know the infamous pony story. Yes, Elon is a weirdo, and like many a rich asshole, believes he can coerce, purchase, or is otherwise entitled to, consent from random women.

      Okay, so, how does this work? The horse bit, I mean. Does she want a horse, or was this just a gesture where the brain was off and the penis is at the wheel? Even if she wants a horse, they are kinda high maintenance. Does the horse deal come with a stable, and adjacent home? What about food and care for the duration of the horse’s life? Someone to tend to the horse while she is working? What about the taxes on the land that this sits on? Does she get the land too? Is the land going to be in a geographical area that she wants? Good access to nearby towns, power, water, sewage, municipal trash services? Good school district? Who is paying for the utilities for this land/home? Good access to emergency services? Low crime, pollution, risk of natural disasters? I could go on.

      I mean there’s a lot involved when you’re being asked for a handy. Gotta make sure you get all the details!

      No where in history was that a legitimate trade. Only her father would take such a dumb deal.

      Aristocrats can afford to pay a house at a minimum. Don’t let them devalue your worth.

    Why cross these boundaries when you can just fill a yacht with porn stars and supermodels voluntarily and not violate any HR policies?

      I am so looking forward to asking Elon for his long-form birth certificate

      So he’s ineligible to run for president as he’s not a natural born citizen, but this made me wonder, are there any laws on who can be VP? What if they’re further down the line of succession, like Speaker of the House or president pro tem. of the Senate? What happens if, through the line of succession, someone who is ineligible to run still becomes president?

        No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President

        You can argue that it doesn’t say anything about vice president, but then he can’t be part of the line of succession so what is the point. Though I wonder if maybe saying he can’t be vice president on those grounds means speaker of the house also must be natural born… The constitution is short and so you can come up with weird situations like this all over.

          Theoretically they could be VP. I imagine if their President left office for some reason, either they’d just be acting President, not actual President, or the line of succession would skip them.

    I was feeling bad for his ex right up until this gem:

    ”Then he took me to a bookstore and handed me his credit card. “Buy as many books as you want,” he said. No man could have said anything sweeter.”

    Because he’s a billionaire he gets away with doing things that would destroy a normal person over and over again, I don’t like the tiered consequences that our society exhibits.

    This is probably a good portion of return to office mandates too, this and wage theft from having less stocks elegiable to vest due to people quiting
