To have a little crush on Elon Musk (lighthearted)

It's not so much that I want to do anything with him Grin
I just think he seems really cool and funny and normal. Plus I love the spacey stuff he does and the Tesla car. Yes I have a bit of a crush on him ha ha. Aside from the fact he gave his son a weird name he seems quite down to earth and I like his relationship with Grimes. Can't wait to see what their wedding is like. Grin

Yabu. He's done some very questionable things and has no relationship with his children from previous marriages.

littlepeas · 03/06/2021 13:40

I find him quite spooky. There's something about him that makes me feel really uncomfortable.

Thedogscollar · 03/06/2021 13:44

After his involvement with the Thailand divers rescue where he referred to a British diver offering help as "pedo guy" in a tweet, I think not.
He was pissed off at his offer of help being declined by this British diver and this is how he acted.
Hardly admirable.

That's possibly the most unreasonable thing I've ever heard.

I think your definition of normal differs from mine somewhat.

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 03/06/2021 13:51

Ok I didn't know any of those things. Will have a proper google of him later. Thanks

I want to go out for a drink with him. As mates.

SlipperyDippery · 03/06/2021 13:56

I think he’s awful, but I quite want a spot on his spaceship when this planet goes tits up so maybe I would put up with him!

haba · 03/06/2021 13:57

He is literally littering space with junk! I detest the man.
He is contributing to the destruction of the planet by having a car company (yes, I know electric cars have no emissions- how do you think we make electricity? Do you know how many resources a d how many emissions go into the manufacturing of cars?)
Astronomers are struggling to work due to the amount of space junk there is- he has launched vast numbers of satellites, and flung an actual car out there too.

Angry He is an selfish, irresponsible egotist. And that's before I start on his personal character.
MaMelon · 03/06/2021 13:59

What pp said. He is not a good sort to have a crush on - really.

YellowScallion · 03/06/2021 14:01

I've always thought he has a bit of a James Bond villain look about him

cosima8 · 03/06/2021 14:01

First Dominic Cummings and now this!

cosima8 · 03/06/2021 14:03

You don’t physically fancy him OP, it’s probably just the idea of his money.

Maybe get yourself a Tesla and see if it wears off?

LongPauseNoAnswer · 03/06/2021 14:03

Normal and Elon Musk are not two words that belong in the same sentence…

This article about his first wife is pretty eye-opening.

haba · 03/06/2021 14:05

Sorry, I do realise you put lighthearted, and I'm acting like a complete PO!

Temp023 · 03/06/2021 14:05

I have a massive crush on his money!

blackice · 03/06/2021 14:05

Yabu. He is loathsome and a complete creep

Sparklesocks · 03/06/2021 14:07

He seems like a bellend tbh

reprehensibleme · 03/06/2021 14:09

Yellowscallion, we refer to him as Muskamanga in this house - definitely Bond villain. Gives me the creeps

TinyTear · 03/06/2021 14:11

I have a Tesla and love it... Despite Elon Musk...
Like the work not the author 🤣

bitheby · 03/06/2021 14:12

Just no. He's really not a very nice person but because he's rich he seems to be able to get away with it.

ImaHogg · 03/06/2021 14:12

He scares the living daylights out of me. Really, really creepy.

Penistoe · 03/06/2021 14:12

Literally everything about him screams super super villain, everything!!

This put me off him too
