I suspect it's both true and a hit piece.

I mean, you don't publish something like that without motivation, and the motivation is obviously reputational harm.

But someone with Elon's personality and his resources? Of course he's doing some drugs.

He totally is. I just find their moralizing pretty funny when they've got Jack shit to say about documented child molesters.

Ehh, I don't know. Tough topic for me. In fact it's the reason I'm banned from Reddit.

You know why? Call me old school, but I think a "child" is someone who hasn't gone through puberty.

Infantilization is possibly the biggest, most fundamental problem at the core of so many other social ills, from incels to woke.

Forty years ago 14 year old teens used to dream about meeting some 22 y.o. who would give them dope and booze and then fuck them silly. Now 28 year old man-children are fantasising about My Little Pony and talking about raising the age of consent to 25.

Couldn't agree more.

And I'll say this much: I think the infantalization of adolescents is a way bigger problem than the sexualization of minors. I think it's leading to loneliness, despair, isolation, and even suicide. On epidemic levels.

You know where you can say that on the Internet? Pretty much nowhere. Maybe not even here.
