I don't know much about any dirt on Musk that might be out there, but I think the Zuckerberg trial memes and saying things like "[insert person with autistic vibes here] doesn't know anything about human interaction" and shaming them for that is indicative of some prejudice towards autistic personality quirks in people. Not everyone is realistically capable of having high emotional intelligence and that's not something to be shamed unless they do something truly fucked up.

You're also coming across as reductive and kinda sexist towards Grimes imo. Saying "she likes him because he has a lot of money" is unfounded and probably isn't accurate as much as "he has prowess, success, and social capital that makes him come off as more attractive". Nobody should be shamed for choosing a partner for those reasons because it's very common. Being a little bit shallow is hardly a crime. It's reasonable to feel frustrated that more people aren't open/transparent about that being their thing because it would save those they turn down for that reason some heartache if they would just be honest about preferring a partner with more success who arguably isn't a better person than who is being rejected. A lot of times choices like that are framed like "Sorry, I just have higher standards for those who I date and only ever choose partners who have the highest amount of morality and ethics that match those standards, which you don't" which is often disingenuous and hurtful. But on some level that's understandable because the person being rejected might attack their character for having dating preferences.

But there isn't any indication of Grimes doing this at all and it's unfair and kinda douchey to suggest she's a gold digger.
Did you even read my post? I went out of my way to point out that Grimes isn't a gold digger, so I think it's douchey that you'd suggest I called her one when I explicitly did not. I doubt she actually needs the money, but meant she's attracted to the social capital of being a billionaire, which is a totally human response. There are very little people with attraction to men that wouldn't date Elon because of this, which again, I mentioned already.

And I wasn't implying that Elon was autistic, I meant that he was a shitty person with terrible social skills. He literally told his wife that if she was his employee, he'd fire her. He treats his actual employees like garbage, he treats the women in his life like his employees, and he has a cult of personality that he leans on to shield himself from actual introspection. On his wedding day, he told his wife that he was the "alpha" in their relationship. I'm not concerned with whether or not he's autistic, it just seems obvious that he sucks.

And I'm not shaming Grimes, before today I have never even heard of her. I just think it's amusing seeing so many lefties on Twitter lose their minds over this like she betrayed them (because she herself is a socialist from what I gather). The normal reaction to when a billionaire wants to date you is to say yes, it isn't some personal transgression, it's being human.

Nice try putting words in my mouth though.

Rich guy gets a much younger girlfriend.

There's always the chance that genuinely they care for each other but I live next to the love hotel district in Japan and I am sick of seeing these rich old perverts salivating over their new young partners. There's no love, she's just there to help him through his mid life crisis.

I hope it goes well for them - I never understood why this kind of stuff is news. I don't find her very attractive to those saying Musk is ugly, it's all subjective.

They looks happy. I don't care what's up, they look happy and I'm happy for them.



Elon and her being goofy is cute.

Yes, this odd outlier relationship of a semi-popular young artist and an older billionaire getting normal reactions proves out the creepy need for virginal purity in j-pop and k-pop fans

Ignoring the fact that Grimes has publicly dated before now and nobody cared


this defensiveness to an obvious exaggeration is helping, chief

Nobody's getting any younger.

Not the first time a cute popstar goes out with billionaire.

Is he really considered decent looking? I showed my wife and she said no way, I don't see any conventional handsomeness there and I've never seen his name brought up in that conversation. Not shaming the dude for his looks, just didn't know that was a common opinion
Kind of how I feel about Grimes. Didn't know she was considered attractive.

Real talk I'd be saying the same about some dude dating a rich megalomaniacal emotionally stunted woman

This reminds me of people who slam dudes who date more powerful and successful women. Yeah, there's some humor in that ("you're an IRL version of Jefferson and Darcy from Married w/ Children bruh") but is it really something to be shamed? That kinda shit reinforces arbitrary gender and sex role stereotypes, doesn't it? What's wrong with, for example, being like the Dude from The Big Lebowski and wanting to date powerful women?

I was gonna reply to all of this, but tbh your attempt to reduce my comment into a defense of Elon under the premise that I know what the bad things he's done are isn't nearly as compelling as how you apparently think dating Grimes is the same thing as a pee fetish. Interested in hearing your reasoning on that one lmao.

Ya know, Elon Musk is also smart, pretty handsome and probably knows how to have a good time.

If I were that rich I'd like to think I'd be the king of good times, I'd have a wheel of fortune type deal to spin when I'm bored with stuff like "climb a mountain in Malaysia" and "buy everyone on Era Neo Geo's."
