circa 2015 he could have held onto the ball and run out the clock. but he’s desperate for people to adore him. it’s the fundamental need he’s never been able to fill ever since he was a kid. he’s always been rich, but he’s never been liked, not in any meaningful way, anyway. for a short time though, he tasted it. he was the environmentally friendly sports car guy. he was in marvel movies. people saw him as the genius who who would lead our advancements into a technological future.

but it wasn’t enough for him. he’s an addict. once he tasted adoration he needed another hit, so he joined Donald Trump’s business council. it was there that he revealed too much of himself. we could all see how shallow, greedy, and awful he really is. and the adoration all dried up. he’s been chasing that ever since and can’t earn it back.

the reason he can’t earn it back is that the djinni can never be put back in the bottle. we have seen the real him, and we can never unsee it. we’ve seen that a fully embodied elon vehicle is stupid and dangerous. we’ve seen that in his desperation to be a hero he’ll call a real hero a pedophile. we’ve seen that his come up created a fundamentally twisted and racist creature.

but this broken man is an addict. he can never adapt and change and grow because he doesn’t understand the world through that lens. instead of cultivating within himself the kind of person he would want to be friends with, he regurgitates 4chan jokes. or maybe worse, he has cultivated within himself the kind of person he would want to be friends with and none of us want to befriend him.

either way, he became unfixable when his net worth made it to his first million dollars.

Yeah pretty sure him anj his doge pack have broken some federal laws in the last couple months but they’ll never go to jail for it.
