>>nailer+(OP)
Musk has a disproportionate amount of nuts in his corner. That’s why they’re brought up in discussions about him. It’s not so much nutpicking as it is getting hit over the head with nuts.

If one defends a person who is effectively a cult leader and their maniacal actions, they shouldn’t be surprised to often get lumped into the more fanatic followers as a sort of social collateral damage. Very little about Musk’s behavior is defendable, and he also has a huge amount of unwavering followers. So defense of his behavior are questionable from the start.

Can you prove this statement or is it just how you feel about it?
