    I saw a post about how Trump was going to ban electric cars earlier today, and now this. I wonder how Elon would advise him on that.

    These two having any kind of conversation would be fucking hilarious. Absolute opposite ends of the spectrum of narcisstic assholes, they would both go insane trying to out alpha each other while being completely unable to communicate in any way that made sense to each other.

      “Narcissistic” is an ancient Greek slur for asexuals. Hellenic Greece was a hypersexual society, and they didn’t understand asexuality. They thought the only reason to not have sex was thinking you’re better than others. So they created the slur narcissistic to insult people who wouldn’t date or fuck anyone, based on the asexual character Narcissus.

        While what you say might have grains of truth in it, it’s likely that the story was originally a warning about eating a poisonous plant that resembles an onion more than an attack on asexuals. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissus_(plant)

          And they chose to warn people about a dangerous flower by making the dangerous character in the story an eeeeevil asexual who was so arrogant he wouldn’t fuck anyone and was killed by the gods for not going on dates.

      I’m not exactly sure why Nog is appropriate here, but he is.

    Wasn’t Musk an advisor while Trump was president? And didn’t he more or less rage quit then?
