X Has Turned Into The Diary Of A Sad, Lonely Man
From everyone’s hero to the richest persona non grata on the planet, X has been slowly detailing Elon Musk’s social descent.
Did you ever meet someone who just seemed addicted to praise and validation? Truth be told, I think most of us have. Hell, I’ve even been that person. I know how addictive being validated and propped up can be.
When I was a 20-year-old, there were very few things you couldn’t convince me to do if you praised me or would momentarily act like you cared about me. That’s a holdover from having a bad childhood with lots of social isolation.
In recent weeks, Elon Musk’s X account has become a little unsettling for me to watch. The reason why is simple: it’s painful to see a man’s ego crumbling the way it is online while trying to salvage it.
