For some reason I have this memory of an interview I read with Sinead O'Conner at the height of her fame where she sad every awful regime and war had child abuse somewhere as the cause and the interviewer was all condescending about how simplistic that was but the older I get the more I think it was right on some level. Of course Sinead was right about everything and I recently learned more than I wanted to do know about Elon's childhood and yeah, this all seems to be about having gotten the shit kicked out of him by his dad and everyone at the stupid fascist all male "wilderness" boarding schools they had in south africa
It makes sense it would be Sinead-so ahead of her time and so punished for it. I think abused kids can go in many directions (as in my family I have tried hard to break the cycle with therapy and distance and my brother I think tried and his alcoholism made that pretty impossible). I haven’t read about Elon’s childhood but it sounds wealthy and grim. The way he’s using his own son as a prop in the Oval Office and his treatment of his daughter pretty much says it all.
yeah it's hard because of course so many abused kids do break the cycle so of course it's not exculpatory. the podcast I listened to said, It's really remarkable with Musk because you hear all these terrible things that happened to him and you still don't feel bad for him.
