If Elon Musk Was a Woman

We’d treat her like we treat Britney, Kim, Angelina, Taylor and Elizabeth.

A couple of days ago, I saw this tweet from the universal frat guy, the hero of the internet bros, the one god productivity bros all bend the knee to, Elon Musk.

Elon musk tweet saying falling birth rates are more dangerous than global warming.
Source: Twitter.

He says population collapse due to low birth rates is a risk to civilization.

An 8-year-old is smarter than this.

I’m so fed up with the fanboys telling me men like him are geniuses, telling me how to live my life like him. How to copy his morning routine and become a billionaire like Musk.

Because if Musk was a woman, we’d see him in a different light.

If He Was a Woman

If Elon Musk was a woman, we would treat her like we treat Elizabeth Holmes. We would see some of her businesses as scams.

We would see that she’s made promises she can’t keep to extract more money from investors and the public.

We would see that not everything she touches turns to gold. We would see that her business decisions are often erratic.
