Elon Musk Gets Defensive Over Twitter Meme as Harassment Report Surfaces

(Bloomberg) -- Elon Musk is getting riled up over a meme poking fun at his obsession with Twitter.

The Tesla Inc. chief tweeted that “Tesla is on my mind” 24/7 after the meme suggested the billionaire is neglecting the EV maker while pursuing his on-again, off-again $44 billion takeover of Twitter Inc.

In the tweet Musk argues that he spends less than 5% of his time on his pursuit of the social media platform, despite a steady stream of tweets in past weeks that have up-ended markets and cast the landmark deal in doubt.

Musk’s defense came as another thorny issue made the rounds online: an Insider report that SpaceX -- another of the entrepreneur’s passions -- paid an employee $250,000 to settle a claim she was sexually harassed by Musk in 2016.

Elon is a lot like Trump in this regard. Both are really, really weird people with starfucker tendencies, who wouldn't give 99.9% of their fanboys the time of day unless they thought there was something in it for them. I've never ever understood the appeal of either of these assholes, and I reciprocate their disdain towards me -- they are both socially inept, narcisstic weirdos. If you were at a barbecue with either you'd be rolling your eyes at the loudmouth idiot.

... and I think it's a good thing he has aligned with Republicans. Billionaires will probably benefit most from Republicans in power.

GOP = the filthy rich
Dems = just about everybody else

I can deal with that.
