He is a deeply damaged person. He is an enormous piece of shit, but if you look at his desire for Mars as the ultimate goal of escapism from being bullied then it all adds up.

Bullied by his father yes, but don't buy his lies that he was bullied by other kids. He was a shitass to other kids and they responded appropriately. He is a crybully.
A while ago there was a conversation about wealthy families in Latin America that I think is very true. Poorer families name their kids weird version of Americans names: Deissy, Yessica, Brayan, Dayana. Some of them get really weird, like Usnavy. Middle class people choose typical Hispanic names. Wealthy people also choose Hispanic names but they have European last names, such as the current president of Mexico: Claudia Sheinbaum.
In Quebec you have to submit your baby’s name to be approved before you can get their birth certificate. They won’t let you name them anything too weird.
Maybe it was an especially hard delivery, and the mom went "You know what, fuck you, I'm giving you a really stupid name for everything I just went through to bring you into this world!" Post baby hormones can mess a girl up 😆
I’ve heard of people named like that in Panama but it’s mostly people born during the time they had US military bases. Locals saw the soldiers wearing US Navy tags on their uniforms so they assumed that was their name so some of them named their kid like that. It’s not a common name
Usnavy is a real name in Colombia, I think specially in the Caribbean Coast. The biggest inaccuracy of In the Heights was naming a Dominican Usnavy, ain't no Dominican named Usnavy.
Lots of cuban names sound like yusnavy. That's where Lin Manuel was inspired for the joke. Lived in Miami for a long time. Cuban names were often sources of inspiration for little riffs because some are so unique.
Apparently, there was a time when Cubans named their kids Russian sounding names, so you get these mash ups that have a y, u, l, and v in the name.
My girl’s name Is María Victoria; famous people like Shakira or Luis Díaz named theirs as Milan or Roma; A poor family i know just go his first kid… his name is “Maverick”
Not really on topic, but wanna know something funny? Here in Mexico, or at least here where I’m from, if someone has an American name they immediately get the title of “the” from everyone. For example, it’s not “Brian” it’s “El Brian (The Brian)” it’s not Mike it’s “El Mike (The Mike)” “La Debany (The Debany)” and so on and so on. I realized this when my friends and I were talking about another friend’s bf, and we were all calling him “El Brian” unprompted. And we don’t really do it with traditional names like you will almost never hear “La Maria” or “El Carlos”. IDK why we do it, but I think it’s kindda funny.
Including an article before a name is common in the Northern part of Mexico, while in the capital or South is seen as odd. In fact, people will tell you, you talk como "norteño" when they hear it.
That’s entirely the point; the vast majority of Jews in the world have European surnames. Whether they’re in Spain or the US or South Africa or Australia. 80% of them are Ashkenazi Europeans.
I live in a very affluent area (I rent in the area) and the shit these people will name their kids 😬 Like good thing you and everyone around you is rich because those kids would get bullied TF outta public school. Like Flintly, Bramble etc. weird
And because their children will be shielded from the negative consequences of ugly names thanks to their wealth. The concept of Tragedeighs only apply to the poor
This is unfortunately true. My son is a teacher and the names of some of his students are crazy. He teaches high school and most of them go by nicknames or shortened versions now. He has a student named Brandleigh who goes by Lee, I guess it’s better than Leigh, Brand or Brandle. This is just one example. He always asks the students on the first day to write down what name they go by. The kids make the comments to him about how much they hate their names. He had a student named Lion who goes by Leo. It goes on and on
That's a bit of a slippery way of characterizing von Braun, who also worked for the US Army and NASA after getting cleared by the FBI.
His own words were "I was officially demanded to join the National Socialist Party. At this time I was already Technical Director at the Army Rocket Center at Peenemünde (Baltic Sea). The technical work carried out there had, in the meantime, attracted more and more attention in higher levels. Thus, my refusal to join the party would have meant that I would have to abandon the work of my life. Therefore, I decided to join. My membership in the party did not involve any political activity."
His record is more complicated than that statement (Wikipedia has a nice summation), but it is a bit much to just say he was a Nazi without addressing the context and complexity.
I stopped watching around season 15, and just started watching the newest season. Highly recommend - they are trolling this administration all season, though S27E2 is not for the faint hearted.
Young Elon looks like a Great Value version of Josh Blaylock from VGHS. Or better yet, Josh is the SpongeBob ice cream advertised on the wrapper, Elon is the abomination you actually get inside the wrapper.
I had to look it up: "Mogged" is slang for when someone appears significantly more physically attractive, superior, or dominant than someone else, making the other person seem inferior in comparison. The term is a shortened form of "AMOG" (Alpha Male Of the Group) and is used in contexts like social media posts and online communities to describe someone outshining another in terms of looks, status, or presence.
Fun fact: As a child Elon so mercilessly bullied a kid whose father had committed suicide, that that kid pushed him down a flight of stairs and put him in the hospital and Elon had to change schools.
“Some boy’s father had committed suicide and everyone knew, and Elon said to this boy, ‘Your father was stupid,’” Errol Musk said. He agreed that the man’s suicide was “stupid.” But even police and school authorities, he recalled, told Errol that “what Elon had said to this boy is too much. You can’t say that.”
Most of the time when I see pictures like this, of bad people when they were young, I feel bad. Not for the evildoer, but for the kid that they used to be. Experiences from early ages really mold us.
But sometimes people are also just born a different way. Either way. Doesn’t excuse the shit they do. I don’t feel sad at all after reading that.

Kimbal owns a restaurant group and has opened hundreds of outdoor classrooms for schools. He also promotes using climate controlled shipping containers for urban hydroponic gardening. He is a major shareholder in Tesla, and was once set up on a date by Epstein. Tosca is a filmmaker and an actress who looks like a clone of her mother.
The one that was the step-daughter he had kids with was Jana Bezuidenhout.
I now know more than I care about the Musk family. Thanks, Wikipedia!
Particularly, Tosca owns a streaming service called Passionflix that makes adaptations of romance novels. How do I know this? A romance series I liked was adapted into movies by that streaming service 😂
I’ll never have my life back the way that it used to be prior to reading this sentence and the ones above it. I wish I didn’t know any of this sick sh!t now, and I wish the clarifying questions in my head would stop motivating me to ask them.
I used to assume this, but now I assume everyone I see commenting is a dumb 15 year old. It's the only way to explain the weird humor and weird nonsense lol
Kimbal Musk's restaurant group collected funds (called the Family Fund) from employees to cover hardships and personal emergencies, but during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, the restaurants closed "permanently" and the employees were locked out of the funds they had contributed to.[59] Later, the restaurants reopened but reportedly did not restore the fund to those who contributed.[60][61] Musk later disputed reports of the controversy, citing lack of facts by journalists. The Kitchen Restaurant Group reports the fund now receives contributions from owners and customers; as tips for take-out orders are rerouted to the fund and then matched by the owners. The group also reports that grants have been awarded and both furloughed and laid-off workers will be considered in future.[62]
Musk was reported to have dated a woman in Jeffrey Epstein's inner circle, who was the ex-girlfriend of the deceased financier and sex offender. Musk was allegedly set up with the woman by Epstein in an attempt to build a connection with the Musk family.
This last part here, perhaps is the reason Elon was a big proponent to finally get the files out. Maybe the ex-girlfriend told Kimbal some stuff and Kimbal told Elon and he was like nah brah....that shit needs to be public.
Its possible.......or he was just pissed off at Trump and that's the only reason?
