People like Elon Musk are frightening to me, not because they have wealth or influence, but because they have a completely rabid personality cult dedicated not to Elon Musk the human - but to that eccentric nerd underdog millionaire that people believe he represents. 

His cult does not look at him as an actual person - but as an archetype. They want to see him live out some Tony Stark esque lifestyle, even though the man himself has done virtually nothing of scientific note. A real-life superhero for nerds who are desperate to live vicariously through him. 

On a related note - Nikola Tesla died in poverty partially because he had worked on providing early solar, and hydroelectric energy to the masses . Attempting to usurp his scientific legacy through establishing a corporation which panders to the wealthy is a cultural crime and I refuse to believe Elon has the slightest shred of respect for the man as he was.

Not to sound homophique but am I like the only gay who feels absolutely nothing for Gaga

I’m not saying she hasn’t made cute music but like I don’t have that gay4gaga thing

Um sorry but Joanna Newsom, for having exposed Stephani Germanotalianlastname as a fakedeep fraud marketing avant garde for squares at the uh peak of her career, is the True Gay Icon [x]:

“I’m mystified by the laziness of people looking at how [Lady Gaga] presents herself, and somehow assuming that implies there’s a high level of intelligence in the songwriting. Her approach to image is really interesting, but you listen to the music, and you just hear glow sticks. Smart outlets for musical journalism give her all this credit, like she’s the new Madonna …” She breaks off and laughs. “Although I’m coming from a perspective of also thinking Madonna is not great at all. I’m like, fair enough: she is the new Madonna, but Madonna’s a dumb-ass!”

Later, she emails to clarify what she describes as her “late-afternoon dopiness” on this subject: “I may have contradicted myself. My problem isn’t actually with Lady Gaga. But there’s not much in her music to distinguish it from other glossy, formulaic pop. She just happens to wear slightly weirder outfits than Britney Spears. But they’re not that weird – they’re mostly just skimpy. She’s fully marketing her body/sexuality; she’s just doing it while wearing, like, a ‘fierce’ telephone hair-hat. Her sexuality has no scuzziness, no frank raunchiness, in the way that, say, Peaches, or even Grace Jones, have – she’s Arty Spice! And, meanwhile, she seems to take herself so oddly seriously, the way she talks about her music in the third person, like she’s Brecht or something. She just makes me miss Cyndi Lauper.” And on the subject of Madonna: “I shouldn’t have called Madonna a dumb-ass. Her music and she have just gotten so boring to me, this last decade. I think maybe she doesn’t hold her money very gracefully, the way some people can’t hold their drink. But one thing she is surely not is dumb.” She signs off warmly and sweetly, but it’s not exactly a retraction.
