I really don't understand this instinctive urge people have to grovel and simp for wealthy celebrities.

Musk is the owner and CEO of one of the most important defense contractors in the country. It is a matter of national strategic importance if he is spending his time coked out of his gourd or neck-deep in a k-hole.

SpaceX is one of the most important defense contractors in the country?
Oddly i think he’s less important than you do, but you think I’m simping lol.

If you really think Musk’s drug habit is that important, People.com and NYPost Page Six may be closer to your preference.

There’s a couple of wars, shipping crisis, antisemitism, airplanes grounded, an upcoming election, employment and inflation numbers that are of more consequence than the private behaviour of Musk.

Hunter Biden’s drug use is then unimportant, right?

Did we forget that Jared Kushner couldn’t get a security clearance because of his financial black hole?

Exactly! It’s the same distraction as the noise about Hunter’s substance use. I do not care about either.
