Elon Musk cannot anticipate or truly understand the anger toward him right now because he has never experienced having to worry about having money to meet his basic needs or pay rent

Yes, that hyperinflated ego allows him to fantasize that he is endowed with some kind of "specialness. " However, that is costing millions of people pain, uncertainty, and even death. His lack of introspection and affinity for others, coupled with his money, make him uniquely dangerous.
It's a miserable web of bad business, statecraft & power, and I'm one of the lucky few alive to witness the financial collapse of my childhood home, the death of both of my elderly parents, a mother with Lupus & many other health disorders, and a recovering cancer survivor lifelong alcoholic father.
As a recently federally retired & disabled individual, I'm also a burden, because I also need a functional SSA & DoE to get VRS & a legally approved "Ticket to Work."
I need an A.B.L.E. account Jan 1st, then perilously work and care for my parents myself with only ~4 years of ICU+CNA level care...
He’s also publicly devolving into a psychotic break. He couldn’t buy enough propaganda dominance to fix his next high. “They’re Evil” is paranoia’s rattled breath.
I mean, he's been convinced of that for several years now. The only possible reasons anyone could not like Elon Musk, in his own mind, are stupidity and malevolence.
I’ve seen some of my favorite generally nice and reasonable celebs devolve into this state, to varying degrees. So if you’re already a narcissist or sociopath, the effects must be staggering.
I truly agree with this. The last two times Amazon and the chamber of commerce have tried to buy Seattle elections, we’ve swung dramatically the opposite direction. We’re a centrist overall, so I think the trend can def be extended nationally.
He's probably never washed a dish, did laundry, grocery shopping, meal planning for a family, cooked for his family, took out the trash and recycling, balanced a checkbook, changed a diaper, scheduled an oil change for your car, or be grateful for 9 pm when you can finally relax end of day.
...and has become accustomed to being unconditionally adored because he exiles all the straight talkers from his presence, sometimes using security guards.
It is also the wealthy are never crossed, yelled at or insulted to their face. Their money has created an illusion of constant approval. They see themselves as gods. Anyone who is not their financial equal is defective. The average person is like a bug to them.
He has also never had to face any level of public or private accountability for hurting people or ruining their lives. Long before he slithered up to Trump, he routinely doxxed anyone that dared to stand up for themselves or criticize him.
Same when MAGA world claims Americans will be fine with higher prices "in the short term." Malicious ignorance about the material conditions of many people. But somehow we're told they have our best interests at heart. Absolute insanity.
He's absolutely convinced of the obvious rightness of everything he does, that the only reason anyone could possibly oppose him is because they're Evil or stupidly led by Evil.

We're born after an era of horrific devaluation of our institutions & geography. Then he infiltrates, a radical evil, in a global poly-crisis.
I agree, he's in duality, ignorant
Life is a painful and delirious drug infused existence in which he doesn’t give a shit about anybody.
