Visionary!?!?! Please stop sane-washing Musk! He’s a racist, misogynistic psychopath!

A visionary is someone with a strong vision of the future. Since such visions aren't always accurate, a visionary's ideas may either work brilliantly or fail miserably.

Allow me to quote the audio: "I mean, the guy's a visionary, no doubt. Yeah. But some of his ideas about how society should be run are, well, a little unsettling." Have a great night!

PS: A bit of explanation; I’ve been reading Curtis Yarvin’s blog ‘Gray Mirror’ today, so I’m a bit “unsettled”.

That's a very disturbing read, I follow and read it too. I don't blame you. It's pretty unnerving. It's scary to think that these people actually have powerful people listening to them. We have strayed so far from where we should be.

Absolutely. I’ve asked some journalist friends to shine a light on Yarvin’s connection with Peter Thiel, and really wonder what their endgame is.

I’ve just discovered & subscribed to your Substack and am very interested in the topics. I apologise for my earlier response & will be more thoughtful next time. Laurel 🙏🙏🏻🙏🏾🙏🏽

I'm actually going to be doing a series on each of the main players of "The PayPal Mafia", not sure if there's enough air time for the monstrosity that is Peter Thiel. But more people should be aware of the REAL people behind the curtain...

Given what’s he’s done & he’s currently doing to his children, his various wives, and this country, I’d go further than “unsettling”. Thanks for the replies. 🙏🙏🏽

Lady, no one is sane-washing him. Dont nit-pick one word in favor of the context it was used in. Thanks for the listen, though.
