It is worth noting that Musk has long positioned himself as a “free speech absolutist,” a self-appointed champion of open expression.

Musk is like a fractal of stupid. Like every piece of him has some new stupid.

narcissistic, megalomaniacal

That actually got me thinking. Are all megalomaniacs also narcissistic?

Logically speaking, no

There by definition must exist at least some megalomaniacs that are not narcissistic

Musk arrives in U.S. theaters October 16 via Bleecker Street, followed by a streaming release on HBO Max.

I don't know. Reading the wiki on NPD, it feels like megalomania is an extreme version of the grandiose subtype of NPD. Maybe with some flavour of sociopathy added.

I'll have it on soulseek as soon as a digital release is out. Looks like after October 16

I'm the best in the world at not being narcissistic, and, i mean, a real thought leader in this space! I know everything there is to know about not being a narcissist!

Very well put. I love this statement.

While often used interchangeably with narcissism, a megalomaniac specifically seeks power and fear rather than just charm or admiration.

No matter how closely you zoom in, there is always another layer of complete stupidity.

That's Illuminati territory, wanting to rule the world but not wanting any attention. I think a bunch of those working on finance also qualify.

It's actually pretty good! Four hours and twenty mins long, so it's a commitment, but it's mostly a close up of a clogged toilet in real time. It's filled with equal amounts of all human bodily fluids, with a single baby rat swimming in it and slowly drowning as waste fully replaces the oxygen in its lungs. And then they play "gangnum style" over the credits.

JFC, they really went the extra mile for accuracy!
