    Look everybody, we’re rich. So, we get to fuck your children. Don’t like it? There’s nothing you can do about it against our money. We have deprived you of living wages for so long, any resistance you could muster is merely a pittance. So have your 12 year old bend over and get ready to take it.

    -Rich people, empowered by Republicans at least since Regan

    In one email exchange, a redacted recipient received an email from Kimbal Musk asking to dial back their relationship: “We know how much we like each other. But I am just not able to do a real relationship right now. Would you be up for going back a step to just dating? We would see each other on weekends when we can and focus it on fun stuff.”

    I’m autistic and I used to assume charisma played a huge role in people’s success generally. I think seeing these emails has made it clear that I might have my cause and effect mixed up.
