I learned what the Taliban was in 1997 from reading Marie Claire

I send this article to people ALL the time. Once I read this, it was it for me.

Recently, someone mentioned kind of sort of vaguely remembering reading an article by an ex wife of his once and I said WAIT RIGHT HERE and found this article I'd read fifteen years ago almost immediately because it has lived in my head since I read it. I knew EXACTLY what they were referencing.

This started making the rounds again right after he bought twitter, but it does seem like not enough people have read it.

I read the article like 10 years ago, and I thought at that time: This guy had so many red flags 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

I was just looking back at all of my tweets warning about Musk over the years & came across my tweets about that article. I’d forgotten about it.

I mean, it was pigeonholed as gossip mag story, never surfaced in the tech or biz or "serious" press such as that was

What a powerful moment in this piece: "And in my mind's eye, I could suddenly see myself: a woman who'd gotten very thin, and very blonde, stumbling out of a very expensive car with the front-left wheel smashed in. I barely recognized myself. I had turned into a trophy wife — and I sucked at it."

This article was the moment when I went from thinking of him as an IRL Tony Stark to thinking of him as a rich, slimy grifter. Everything else I learned about him after that just poured more and more and more concrete into that hole. He's gone from maybe-Tony-Stark to wannabe-Hitler in 15 years.

I remember reading that @ the time with my mouth hanging open

I read that at the time and everything since has lined up. Had his name muted for 12 years on Twitter. Though I somehow did miss that he divorced his second wife twice LOL

boy I remember that. that was right around when I decided I didn't want to know anything more about him

As depicted in this essay, unfortunately there are those who will still admire him (including how he treats women) and think of him as some manly maverick. This didn't dispel that perception.
Maverick dickhead, maybe.

I’d always bring up this article when people were fawning over Musk and it was always waved away as irrelevant. But there were so many red flags in it…

It’s too bad they used a picture of him after all his surgeries.
