He’s a man in desperate need of someone in his professional life who can tell him to shut up, and make it stick. He’s inflicted so many pointless wounds on himself and Co lately it’s really crazy, and it was all totally avoidable by just not talking so damned much, leaving the press to someone capable, and getting the jolly fuck off Twitter.

It was a “whaaaaat?!” moment when he called that guy a pedo, but truly shocking when it turned out he’s still besting that drum.

Talking to the NYT, talking to Joe Rogan, just... stop talking Elon. Get some sleep, focus on the business, and stop talking.
