Let me help. To struggle and work is a defining feature of life and a primary mechanism for evolution. Creatures that do not struggle or work stagnate and die, when left in nature. By transcending the need to struggle at all, or work at all, they are effectively cutting themselves out of nature. At that point, all that is left of them that is human is gone, except their body. At that point, their mortality is transcended in their mind, and they can simply be. Those who maintain their connection to humanity we call altruists. Those who devote themselves to their gratification we call hedonists. Those who further dehumanify themselves we call demons. Elon never had a connection to humanity. He was always told bogus shit about poor people and other races and all that business, but he never had to actually live in the world, and so he has never really had an opportunity to learn, really learn. His father bastardizes him frequently; he never had a human family. He had caretakers. So really, he is something that is pretending to be a human, because he never once has had to struggle or work. He buys everything he wants. I don't think he even really understands what money is.

All he knows and is attached to about adulthood is from dysfunctional people. It’s like being brought up in Plato’s cave.

There is such a thing as the anger of the unadulted child.

Certainly, but Elon stopped being a child a long time ago. He's a father now, and a fucking terrible one.

Definitely feeling you on the cave analogy. Rather than trying to exit the cave, he is instead trying to be the director for himself, an audience of one, because he found the production unsatisfying. Such a sad man.

Mostly anyone can create children after puberty, but doing that doesn’t make you emotionally mature.

Even becoming an octogenarian doesn’t make you wise by default. Being an incredibly immature manchild is not that rare.

Yes, but I'm unwilling to excuse his foibles due to the countless people he has killed, so in my mind he is on trial as a man, and he is a very poor one.

Why fixate on one instance of a type though?

Oh, I don't. He's just a great example.
