    With his fragile ego, I’d spend the entire time asking if he could smell that awful smell. I’d ask him to check the bottoms of his shoes, drawing more and more attention and increasing his discomfort, all the while pretending that I’ve never heard of Elon Musk.

    I would ask him who he is. Then when he gets upset that I don’t recognize him and he gives me his name I say “hmmm, never heard of you.”

    Watch is ego implode.

      “Musk? Like the supermarket grade perfume? Did you know musk comes from glandular secretions? The word comes from ‘testicle’ because the gland looks like a scrotum.” Give a couple of sniffs… “Oh wow, that’s amazing!”

    I would literally pretend I had absolutely no clue who he was or any familiarity with any of his “achievements” or why they’re “important”. It would be pretty funny to see him try to respond to that.

    I’d like to think that I’d find a quick easy way to Luigi him but I know I’d just stare and look around for his security and be questioning my life choices that I was in the same room.

    I’d slap him. I don’t fucking care, I’m dying from societal neglect and welfare failings and like literally 0.00001% of his wealth could fix all my problems, you have to be inherently selfish to hoard all that wealth (not to mention be inherently evil to get it in the first place).

    (this is a joke, I wouldn’t put it past Musk for suing for verbal assault or something)

    “What happened to your concern about climate change?”

    “You’ve completely debased yourself by supporting the one guy who will destroy the planet. And for what? A slight to your ego because Biden gave you the cold shoulder once? You are a huge thin-skinned removed and will be remembered as one”

      Shortest answer is always money. The richest man got much richer and plans to get richer yet after this.

      https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/economy/elon-musk-put-277-million-into-the-election-he-s-200-billion-richer-this-year/ar-AA1vTrEZ

      Elon Musk’s net worth has climbed by more than $200 billion in 2024, a massive increase in the same year that the world’s richest person spent at least $277 million backing Donald Trump and other Republican candidates.

      The bulk of the increase, more than $170 billion, has come since Election Day.

      You’ve completely debased yourself by supporting the one guy who will destroy the planet.

      He’s going to make millions and get disproportionate power in government that he never would have gotten otherwise.

        He’s also attached himself to a fickle narcissist with a long history of throwing people away like tissues when they become slightly inconvenient, even at the cost of long-term value.

        Musk knows that if Trump ditches him, he loses a hundred billion + in stock paper value, pretty much immediately. That’s a lot of leverage and a lot of reason to stay on his good side.

        It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.

      Oh, he knows about climate change. Even if he was ever on the side of fixing it, he’s clearly trying to just save himself now.

    “One day a man invited him into a richly furnished house, saying ‘be careful not to spit on the floor.’ Diogenes, who needed to spit, spat in his face, exclaiming that it was the only dirty place he could find where spitting was permitted.”
