it's worth noting that the Communist Party of China has never ruled Taiwan - if anything the island could be considered a liberated post-colony of the old China, but never a part of the People's Republic, fuck off elon

You mean this?
Throughout the tome, Musk’s confidantes, co-workers, ex-wives and girlfriends present a DSM-5’s worth of psychiatric and other theories for the “demon moods” that darken the lives of his subordinates, and increasingly the rest of us, among them bipolar disorder, OCD, and the form of autism formerly known as Asperger’s. But the idea that any of these conditions are what makes Musk an “asshole” (another frequently used descriptor of him in the book), while also making him successful in his many pursuits, is an insult to all those affected by them who manage to change the world without leaving a trail of wounded people, failing social networks and general despair behind them.

no i'm sorry you're right it's ok to use aclinical mental health slurs about bad people
― whatever happened to gravy brain? (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 14 September 2023 21:57 (seven months ago) link
He’s talking about what people interviewed in the book say about Musk. But ok.
― Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Thursday, 14 September 2023 22:01 (seven months ago) link
He also says that explaining away Musk’s evil with clinical theories is an insult to people with these conditions.

i would simply avoid echoing this nonsense by focusing on Musk's existence as an avatar of the hegemonic socioeconomic system but

Yeah, you should never talk about what's actually in a book when reviewing it. That's just rude to imaginary internet people whose feelings might be hurt.

lmao the celebrity cameo in this one
Elon Musk revisiting an idea apparently floated privately in the past -- charging *everyone* to use Twitter. A lower tier than premium. "We’ve moving to a small monthly payment for use of the X system," he just told Benjamin Netanyahu, saying it's only way to stamp out bots.— Dave Lee (@DaveLeeBBG) September 18, 2023
