You really should only speak for yourself. You don't know what others take seriously or not.
When I look at Vern (and the first time I saw him was after Elon made his comment) -- I can't help myself but see in him what Elon Musk described him as. So then I wonder if it's true. He is in Thailand -- but an elderly white man in Thailand makes him a ...? That's absurd. Then again...
That's what goes through my mind, and I'm sure a lot of people minds. You can tell us it would give you 5 minutes of fame, a "ribbing", and then roll of your back since no one would take it seriously -- but if it happened to you, you'd feel worse than if a truck ran over you. A lot worse. You wouldn't even know what hit you. Trust me on that one. I know you won't admit it here -- but I write for others who read my posts since we must not allow a pass for this as you are telling us. I couldn't disagree more with that point of view.
At the same time, I can't stand most of the fake outrage we hear about these days -- I'm will Bill Maher on that -- but this is not one of those times, at least in my view.
And this is coming from a huge Musk supporter -- but I have my limits.
Let’s not lose sight of who fired the first shot.
However, both did a terrible job of “slamming” one another.
Vern shouldn’t of said anything and Musk’s Twitter account needs a moderator to approve posts.
Sensibility goes both ways. If you are saying don’t project my security on others, then you shouldn’t project others insecurities on me.
Twitter war vs Musk or anyone I don’t fear.
I totally believe in my trash talking ability. Plenty of posts in Snippiness and on a few ignored lost from those who toss heat bit handle heat in return.
I don’t have a particular reason to defend Musk. I just know he has a lot of haters who root for his failure like a rival sports team so they are like sharks when they smell blood.
I’d be interested to see who gets more engagement: Musk or the Kardashian’s?
Who is more meaningful... but why does Musk get even 1 percent of the hate which he doesn’t - it’s like the same.
If I was his friend I’d tell him to just say sorry, for what he said, keep things business for awhile and get back to stuff that actually matters.
I never defended what Musk said, just the reaction to his reaction is not proportional to the infraction.
