    I listened to 4ish hrs of Behind the Bastards on musk. No way am I doing that again, in any form.

      I spent 5 minutes learning about his apartheid supporting parents, the emerald mine, and how he never actually accomplished anything but just lied about it when buying companies.

      Oh an watched 10 seconds of his Nazi salute. Those 5 minutes and 10 seconds were enough.

        Right? Read something here maybe, about buying leveled game characters so he could live play to an audience in an attempt to…I don’t even know…indirectly buy peers and conversation?

        Which ties in with all that BoB stuff on him having zero friends.

      Yeah at least with behind the bastards you can have a morbid laugh along and just how utterly shitty the man has always been. And those of us that have followed the show have known for years and more what a horrible person he is. A serious dry documentary would just be brutal. But necessary for the poorly adjusted normal people.

      Four hours?!🤮

      Hell, I’m surprised anyone can stomach him for that long (marriages? how?), let alone sitting still the whole time.

      Did someone strap you in first, A Clockwork Orange style? 😅

        They were separate podcasts spread across commutes. But yea. I listened to the Theil and Zuckerberg casts too. Then, I stopped listening at all. I wonder why.

          There are so many podcasts out there that’re worthy of your perusal that don’t increase one’s justifiable ennui.

          Just off the top of my head:

          • No such thing As A Fish
          • The Bad Spot
          • The Constant
          • Dollop

        After reading the article, it’s not even him.

        It’s a CGI render since musk and the director don’t get along at all.
