    Everyone else has already made great points, so I’m gonna throw a new one out there. Why do all of these people with more money than God dress like absolute shit. I’m sure that cowboy hat cost more than I make in a year, but the man looks like an idiot. Musk and zuck always have the dumbest trash on, too. I get that they are trying to look different to signal that they are elite, but it really just gives off a strong “Look Mom! I dressed myself today!” vibe.

      It’s the same reason they have such outlandish there opinions. There is no one in their orbit to tell them ‘no.’ They’ve been experiencing ai psychosis for years, only in the form of yes men instead of plagiarism machines. Anyone that had the temerity to tell Elon that no, we will not have people living on Mars within ten years has long since been removed from access to him.

      In absolutely no way defending them- if you spent your life having every person you interacted with telling you that whatever drivel you spouted was the greatest thing ever, you too would presume to be one of the smartest on Earth.

      It’s what happens when you are surrounded by yes men. Also they can never experience genuine love without wondering if the person is just there for their money.

      Its the extreme end of “I can dress the way I want, screw what others are thinking”. But when that becomes a thing of its own it ends in some questionable fashion choices.
