During a call with investors Tuesday, Musk blamed “paid” and “very organized” protesters for his electric company’s remarkably weak earnings so far in 2025.

    His narcissism won’t let him admit that no one likes him. He’s a Prince, his mother told him so.

        This.

        I usually don’t watch YouTube celebrities, but recently I watch the Vaush guy state what I’ve known for a while in my 53 years on the planet:

        Some people truly can’t understand why anyone would do anything without some kind of compensation. They think it’s stupid, and anyone who does anything without expecting something in return is stupid, and deserves to be taken advantage of. And they don’t feel bad about it. It’s the “Natural Order.” Winners win, and losers lose. Any instance of “Altruism” is just “Virtue Signaling,” done for attention and to influence others to their advantage.

        Everything is transactional, and everyone who is not useful is expendable. To them, “empathy” truly is weakness.

          I’m some 5ish years younger. You’re not wrong. Typically if I watch anything political at all it’s majority report with Sam Cedar. Rarely any of the highly politics involved younger millennials etc. I’ve seen Hasan, and while I think some of his stances are good. He has some major issues, and is way too obsessed with courting a specific demographic however. Leaving him a very unreliable narrator.

          Vaush, what I know of him, has said some extremely stupid shit in the past. From what I’ve seen however, he just kind of doesn’t give a fuck what others think about him. And he doesn’t suck up to groups like Hasan seems to. When he’s discussing a concept he tends to be pretty direct and academic about it. Not afraid to call out any groups deserving. Even though I don’t always agree with him, typically I can respect the differences. Where I can’t with others.
