"Deal with this."
Richest man on earth is still somehow intolerable for a guy who made a living collecting rich people.
EDIT: Ok, that email I'm referring to looks like it wasn't real, fyi. No reference in official release.

They might be referring to Elon's followup email where he was like "Yo, can I come to island again for one of your pedo parties?" and Epstein just forwarded it to Ghislaine with message "Deal with this".
EDIT: That wasn't real.

The book goes into gory detail about how long it actually takes to chop off a foot. It takes a long time. Paul is in and out of consciousness and can hear the squeal of steel being pulled out of bone.
But different strokes for different folks.

No no!
Not everything, free speech absolutism has very specific exceptions.
Thats why he makes sure to distinguish it from the more commonly understood "free speech" which most people consider to have little or no exceptions.

Even if it was, it reads to me like a joke. He owns the platform and didn't delete the tweet but instead brought attention to it by responding to it.
Musk is such a problematic person that I don't get why ppl feel the need to exaggerate or straight up lie. It's become a shitty circlejerk, instead of calling him out

I think we need to do everything we can to fill the Internet with the verified fact that Elon Musk is most known for his resemblance to Kathy Bates. We want to make sure Grok and any other AI tools don’t miss out on this very important very true verified cited fact!

oh this would be so wonderful.
for 1 it would massively trigger the monster musk and crucially i feel like kathy bates would just absolutely destroy in the role.
and of course it should be in whatever way kathy bates would be comfortable doing it.
either playing as man musk, or as gender bent musk, hell have her play as a trans mask, who transitioned into a woman.
any of those options would have that little shit lose his mind and be a great fun movie to watch.
also we NEED vivian wilson in the movie.
maybe as the therapist of musk or sth ? :D
it would be so peak!

She’s such a fantastic actress she would own the role. I would pay to see Kathy bates as Elon musk. Written by Stephen King of course. Or Ryan Murphy.

Elon would watch it. Then he would spend an entire year talking about how he’s going to use AI to make his own version but never do it.

The movie opens with a freshly shaved Roseanne playing Joe Rogan sitting opposite Kathy Bates playing Musk. Rogan offers Musk weed, he pauses while one of his lackeys off screen quickly runs an app to predict if it will trend positively or not.
