I'm a bit obsessed with him. I spent almost two hours googling images of him earlier and thinking bad thoughts. BlushConfused

I'm pushing 40 ffs. I thought this odd kind of crush was a thing of days gone by!

7 billion people on this planet and that's who you choose to salivate after? Hmm

Still, it could be worse, I suppose. How do you feel about Donald Trump, OP?

HurrahMoaningMyrtle · 10/11/2018 21:44

I find him about as attractive as Donald Trump to be fair... and the Childcatcher. Really, really strange one to fancy OP sorry

longwayoff · 10/11/2018 21:44

Theresnotime. Disgraceful comments, you should be ashamed of yourself. Call him out when you've saved the lives of ten children instead of bravely name calling from the anonymity of the net.

YABVU
Tell your ladies parts to look the other way! He is a horrible human being. Gosh, the things he said about the gentleman who led the rescue of the young Thai football team stuck in those caves...he really is a disgusting man.

ButchyRestingFace · 10/11/2018 22:10

To all those making negative comments about the Thai cave rescue incident, I have massive respect for Elon in that he was prepared to call the guy out. This is an older chap who lives on the beach famous for western men going to find under age Thai brides. I can't believe he would have made this up.

So why did he initially apologise for saying it?

trancepants · 10/11/2018 22:33

I fancy a cartoon version of Nightwing (Batman's buddy) so I can't judge anyone. Nightwing is a really nice guy though, or he would be if existed as opposed to being a comic/cartoon character.

WiddlinDiddlin · 10/11/2018 22:38

Respect for Elon?

He did not 'call the guy out' at all, he made a nasty accusation because 'the guy' pointed out his claims that his submersible invention was useful, was going ot be used, that hew as constructive in the rescue etc, were all utter bullshit.

Elon was using the Thai cave situation as a platform to self promote, the reality is, he was no use, he was getting in the fecking way and none of the actual cavers wanted him anywhere near.

'the guy' told him where to stick his pointless submersible, and he didn't like it so lashed out with his false accusation.

He was forced to make an apology because it was a wholly unfounded accusation and 'the guy' and the guys partner were pretty bloody upset about it.

Caves/caving/cave rescue are part of my life and whilst I don't know those involved personally now, I have close friends and family who do, so the above is not idle conjecture!

Genuinely thought the OP was talking about a fragrance Blush

longwayoff · 10/11/2018 22:44

Definitely something smelly

Sparklesocks · 10/11/2018 22:49

I think he’s a bit embarrassing - why would you send a car into space?! Just felt like a massive ego trip.

Also the Thai cave incident - he rocked up with a device that wouldn’t even fit in the tiny tunnels with no awareness of the complexities of cave diving, then when called out he called one of the rescuers a paedophile?? Ah embarrassing reaction from a grown man.

Dontsweatthelittlestuff · 10/11/2018 23:00

He is cringeworthy in looks and character.

Called that cave diver a child rapist and said he moved to Thailand to marry a 12 year old. Vernon Unsworth does indeed have a Thai girlfriend but she is no child bride but a 40 year old woman he has been with for nearly a decade.

bsbabas · 10/11/2018 23:45

He reminds me of one those guys that used to hang round the computer lab at school or college. Very talented just a little off in the personality department. Classic supervillian material.

Haint · 11/11/2018 00:35

He’s sort of funny in his largess. Not bad looking. - - fond of a toke - - tonnes of money, likes science. All the money. Ok looking. I would

KumquatQuince · 11/11/2018 00:45

YABU. He’s a twat. Calling that diver who was rescuing the Thai cave boys a paedophile. He needs to grow up.

PositiveVibez · 11/11/2018 00:49

Between the story from his first wife and calling that diver a paediatric, I would say he is, verging on evil.

PositiveVibez · 11/11/2018 00:50

Paedo, not paediatric ffs

Carbivorous · 11/11/2018 00:57

Google him before the hair transplant.

wondering1101 · 11/11/2018 01:04

Leaving aside his awful personality, in what way is he at all physically attractive Confused?

kmc1111 · 11/11/2018 01:12

He sent a car into space because test launches need test cargo, and it’s more fun to send a car than a giant lump of concrete. Anything that gets people interested in space is a good thing.

As for his ‘submarine’, he didn’t just build some random thing. He was asked to help by the Governor and he built what was asked for. Multiple Thai engineers were asked to work on the same idea, Musk’s engineers were just the one who got it built fast. Maybe it wouldn’t have worked (though some of the kids went through on rigid stretchers wider than the sub dimensions) but he’s not the one who came up with the idea, the rescuers did.

PlatypusPie · 11/11/2018 01:12

Noooooooo - creepy looking. And the vanity . Nooooooooo.
