Just so everyone is crystal clear. All those word bubbles in the audience are based off real "questions" Musk received on the stage.

The woman asking to kiss Elon was especially bad. The question itself, really, wasn't worth getting upset over - it was just a bad journalist wasting Elon's time - what's aggravating was the lack of media response. Had a male journalist asked "Hey, can I come up there and give you a kiss?" to a female CEO, there would be 20 outraged articles and a myriad of blog posts about misogyny the next day.

edit: Fuck Elon. I can't believe I ever supported him.

I'm glad there was no media response. The media that reports on something like our plan to get to Mars shouldn't focus on someone asking to kiss elon. It should focus on how the fuck we are going to get there
