To have a little crush on Elon Musk (lighthearted)

62 replies

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 03/06/2021 13:30

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

I find him strangely mesmerising too yet I'm not sure why as he has an odd face.

MrsGulDukat · 03/06/2021 14:16

He gave his baby a stupid fucking name.

That is reason alone to give him the wanker stamp.

His comments about the diver are bang out of order.

AuntMasha · 03/06/2021 14:16

Ew. No.

There's something not quite there behind the eyes with Elon Musk. He really does creep me out and I wouldn't want to be in a room alone with him.

FrenchieFromGrease · 03/06/2021 14:21

He is a scummy ego maniac. He's littering space, publicly accused a rescue worker of being a paedophile and is a MRA. You need some serious therapy!

Grizalda · 03/06/2021 14:24

Nah, if he was Joe Bloggs from down the Red Lion you wouldn't look at him twice. He looks like a toe. He'd just be the weirdo with strange views, who talks about his inventions incessantly and who everyone avoided and wouldn't want to get stuck with.

Urgh no - very unattractive in looks & character

GeidiPrimes · 03/06/2021 14:31

Azalea Banks described him as having "pork skin" Grin. I have to agree with her though. No idea what the lovely and talented Claire Boucher sees in him. Maybe because they both like space?

He's "only happy" when in a relationship according to him.

Is Tesla a ponzi scheme?

Sparrowsong · 03/06/2021 14:54

I get it. I don’t agree with everything but he is charismatic and would be very interesting to talk to. Not husband material though! I cannot decide if he is a visionary genius or an evil genius, time will tell.

He makes great cars, we love our Tesla!

He has ASD btw so some of the comments about the things he can’t help (eyes etc) are a bit unnecessary.

Ilovemaisie · 03/06/2021 15:21

Oh dear. You've been out in the sun too long haven't you? Go and lie down in a dark room and those feelings will go away.

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 03/06/2021 16:48

@Sparrowsong you get exactly what I'm on about. I don't find him sexually attractive or want his money. I'd just love to sit and have a chat with him. I was listening to a podcast where he was chatting to Joe Rogan and you could see them in the studio. I just found him interesting.

He can help being a prick. I'm autistic too and the comment he made about the diver was off the scale awful. In fact his whole attempt to muscle his way in to that rescue as if he knows best about everything was awful (which can be an autistic trait but it's beyond him to temper that with a touch of humility).

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 03/06/2021 17:04

I didn't know anything about the diver comment tbh

OP posts:
Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 03/06/2021 17:05

Honestly I did not realise this would be so controversial! I didn't research him enough obviously

Yuk!

I've got nothing good to say about him

Whatup · 03/06/2021 17:32

Omg I'm all about the tech titans but he is a dick like Todd Howard without the content

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 03/06/2021 17:34

Yeah that comment was terrible to be honest. He apologised but prob only to get out of it

I also find him strangely alluring so you’re not alone! I did consider therapy, then realised it’s probably just because my brain associates him with big sexy rockets and I love big sexy rockets. Which I should also consider therapy for, on reflection 🧐

YelloYelloYello · 03/06/2021 17:41

He seems like a pretty terrible person.

Have you heard the song about him? m.youtube.com/watch?v=qoPyqPXxtAg

As a visionary with the ability to disrupt established industries with fresh new ideas, I think he's great.

As a person - highly questionable. He went down a lot in my estimation with calling Vernon Unsworth a "Peado guy" and doesn't treat his employees particularly well. Admittedly the latter is entirely in line with other billionaires though...

Make sure the therapist is a Freudian. I sense there might some material that needs to be penetrated.
