    Boy, you better stretch those cheeks further apart and get that tongue up in there. There’s a lot more kissass that Elon deserves and I’m not hearing!

      I can acknowledge a person’s achievement even though I do not agree with their recent political stances. Maybe that makes me very different than you who only think good or bad?

        “You know, when I think about it… I guess there’s some good things this tyrant did. He’s still a tyrant, but there are some good things he took credit for that he did.”

          Yes, the world is not black and white, there are many shades of grey.

            Ok, you grasp the concept of shades of gray. That’s a good start,but do you understand how the proportion of each shade matters?

            If a person helps out an old lady with correct directions towards the city center, only to grab her purse and run when they finish can we say “they’ve done some good things”? Should the helpful directions even have any weight in our judgement of them?

            If a person grows Tesla and SpaceX only to get enough power to steal from and turn several countries towards fascism, do the good things even matter, considering their actual end goal?

        He truly has never achieved anything. He has purchased, attached himself to, and leeched things, but never “achieved” something the way a normal person does.
