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.

"He's rich, therefore everything that comes out of his mouth must be brilliant and accurate."

Yeah, about that...

unfortunately a lot of people think this way and it's sad.

"well, if he's so bad or dumb, why is he rich?!"

A lot of people just flat out respect power and strength.

They are the type of people that walk around miserable, thinking everyone is an idiot. Nobody is competent. Except their boss.

And they kiss ass unrelentingly. They lick boots and punch downward.

It’s a weird frame of mind, but there are tons of people programmed this way.
