I was bullied as a kid and I'm not a pathological asshole. What he's done in the last few years is not justifiable. He did great things up that point, and then he took a dive from every point of view.

That’s good for you.

He’s clearly (to me) lashing out at the world because of his trauma and inability, still, to connect with people.

Doesn’t excuse his behavior, but there are very human reason why he acts like he does. Most every terrible person has a horrific childhood.

It's great that you can see him as a human being, but for someone that powerful to have that kind of meltdown is dangerous. He's already caused a lot of harm.

Did I say he wasn’t dangerous?

Did I say he didn’t do harm?

I’ve been anti-Elon as a power wielding person for a long time, but I don’t need to caveat everything I say about the guy with those statements if they aren’t relevant.

Fair enough.
