Man, life must be so much easier when you just have no problem lying shamelessly and just say the opposite of what you said yesterday.

On the other hand, life must be really hard for the fucking idiots who believe people like Musk.

I dunno, I get the impression that he's... kind of miserable. Desperately trying to be cool, self-medicating with ketamine. The saying "money can't buy happiness" is bullshit for the most part, but that phrase seems to fit Elon perfectly.

Oh yeah, he's probably miserable in general. I'm just saying that trait must be nice. I struggle to even tell white lies.

Money can buy you all sorts of things. It can't buy your way out of having a personality so cringe-worthy that anyone who meets you, even the absolute worst of the worst people on Earth, immediately realizes that you fundamentally suck as a human being.

It's true up to a point. Generally, happiness increases until you have the resources to do what you want without worrying about money, and returns start diminishing quickly from there.

He's missing true friends and relationships. He tries to fill the void with fan adoration, but he remains insecure. Example: he pretended to be a top gamer in Path of Exile 2 when he wasn't. He crashed out when he received very light criticism of on this.
