    Because he’s a billionaire he gets away with doing things that would destroy a normal person over and over again, I don’t like the tiered consequences that our society exhibits.

      Especially in terms of “legally not rape” charges, even the average man has to face terrifyingly few consequences. So many women report assaults, unwanted aggressive advances and “not exactly consensual kinds of intercourse” without the men ever facing anything serious, not even stigma. Banging blackout drunk girls is a sport for some people.

    The whole article is full of gross stuff if true. This part is ridiculous:

    A 2022 story reported that a flight attendant on Musk’s private jet said he exposed himself and offered “to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage,”

    Elon is such a weirdo.

      Damn I didn’t realize there were people who still didn’t know the infamous pony story. Yes, Elon is a weirdo, and like many a rich asshole, believes he can coerce, purchase, or is otherwise entitled to, consent from random women.

        Truth is, it works often enough that they’ll keep trying.

        Whether it’s fear, greed, or actual attraction doesn’t matter to them, in their world they scored a win.

          I remember when I needed the constant validation of getting sex from women in order to feel like a winner. Then I stopped being 20 years old.

            I don’t think it’s validation in the sense we normies felt. For regular, sane men it’s more of a fitting in and being desirable kind of validation, women do the same in that age.

            For him and other powerful people (but also some regular men) it’s a power thing. Many powerful people are narcissists, and they live constantly under the dissonance of illusion of grandeur and inferiority complex. Essentially forcing their will onto others is a way to mitigate the latter.
