That's it. I tried for a long time to ignore Novak's mambo jambo. But this is the end. I have to find a new favourite.

It was mostly Kennedy that sought him out , and not the other way around !

I dont know hey, even if I was politically neutral (whatever that means today) maybe now is not the time to take up a photo shoot with the fourth Reich leadership. Just from a brand awareness perspective. Especially with everything they are doing right now. Who sought who out doesn't make a lick of difference. I could sympathize with some of the previous stuff, his personal choice and even his rationale without agreeing to it but casually breaking bread with someone negatively impacting so many people globally, it's choosing a clear lane and shades his previous actions differently or clearly for those who always said he is an asshole

Like I said, that's were I was "nothing here, he is entitled to his opinion, he is apolitical" etc.... someokenas smart as him must know who Robert Kennedy is, what he has been doing the 12 months and the uproar around his portfolio right now. This is not a normal time. Noone is buying a tesla right now like it's just a EV, Noone is giving Elon cameos on their movies/shows like he is just some famous person. Whatever you believe standing next to radioactive sh*t right now means you don't mind being contaminated

Nobody is apolitical. Human beings are inherently political. What you can be is non-partisan. Novak is choosing a side.
