Many years ago I knew a guy, who I am reminded of with the Elon Musk news. This guy was apparently a pretty good software engineer, and people either liked him, or thought he was a creepy SOB. I knew the guy, but never thought much of him, good or bad. I did have many people come to me to complain about the guy, and several say he was a sweetheart. At times he would go off on abusive tantrums blaming people for his own issues. I was targeted by him like this once... But honestly I didn't care.
Fast forward several years, and his went missing. And no one noticed. For WEEKS, I mean, his boss and co-workers didn't notice. His family didn't. Eventually someone went around his house and found out his house cats had been eating him.
If EM didn't have vast amounts of cash, no one would pay attention to him. Just because he DOES, doesn't mean we have to.
Leave him to his cats, in your mind, and reality.
@JonKramer Oh, wow. That's quite macabre! Or as we Dutchies would say, luguber!
Wonder whether those were indoor-only cats and that they had no other choice than to eat their owner to survive.
@trinsec ya, indoor only cats. If I remember right, he had a stroke or some other instant death, and naturally stopped feeding them. Eventually, the cats got hungry. It was quite the topic of conversation among those who knew him for awhile.
My original point though... there is no reason to waste so much time and emotional effort on Musk. Eventually, his cats will have him too. Or he will end up like Howard Hughes in a Vegas penthouse collecting bottles of his own urine.
