    Why is a 50+ year old man surrounding himself with near children?

      Because it’s easier for him to tell them what to do since they don’t know any better. And if/when things all go to shit, he’ll be able to blame the incompetence of their age. Every good criminal sets up a better fall guy for when they get caught. See Chris Christie and Bridgegate.

          He won’t ever anyway. He’ll get a presidential pardon from Trump as a final thank you for his service to the regime and never see any consequences. These kids are whipping boys for the public to eat alive once Musk spins a story about them.

      I for one am glad I have faces to attach to the piece of shit.

      If I ever see one in public, they get a nice crisp high-five. To the face.

      Akash Bobba, 21, a student at the University of California, Berkeley; Edward Coristine, 19, a student at Northeastern University in Boston; and Ethan Shaotran, 22, who said in September he was a senior at Harvard.

      The ones who actually have degrees, or at least have left college, are: Luke Farritor, 23, who attended the University of Nebraska without graduating; Gautier Cole Killian, a 24-year-old who attended McGill University; and Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old who attended Berkeley;

    There’s no way a busty woman talking about bitcoins could honeypot any of these people. No sir. These young men are definitely above that sort of thing and no enemy of America would be wise enough to take advantage of these young lads.

    Nope, totally safe and secure. We should all sleep soundly tonight knowing some 19 year old has access to our national treasury under the order of a ketamine addict.

      This is extra funny because for the week or two after The Adjustment Musk wasn’t seen in public at all without his infant son riding on his shoulders. He literally did this exactly like it’s shown in the comic, except with his own child.

        It’s fun, but it’s not as fun when it’s the real guy and not Capaldi. If this was an Armando Iannuci show, he would be saying that in Zuckerberg’s face. With a lot more swearing.
