I’m a bit mystified to be pilloried 3-1/2 months after the comments in question. I also don’t understand how you draw your conclusion from the evidence at hand. But thanks for bringing it up. ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > I also don’t understand how you draw your conclusion from the evidence at hand. The evidence being your own words where you suggest that Musk paid Heard to sleep with him and that she has a “challenging” personality? Just seems like a pointless sideswipe. And I only started reading the thread about a week ago, so sorry not to have kept up on the latest Musk-blather. ---

After the whole divorce brouhaha between Heard and Johnny Depp, all I know about either of them is that I have no idea what’s true and what’s part of a smear campaign. ---

I don’t know her either, but I’ve heard enough from various sources to believe that Musk’s a creepo. Her I don’t know. It just rubbed me the wrong way. ---

Musk _is_ a creep. I don’t know shit about Amber Heard except that she’s evidently a female celeb and she consorted with musk for awhile. Guess what: she didn’t hang out with him because he’s a fun guy, or super cute. Economic considerations had to be primary because there are no other conceivable considerations for any sane person to willfully associate with that turd. ---

I dunno… He does have a very large number of fans, most of whom receive no economic consideration at all from him. ---

His biggest fans are in tesla’s board of directors, I think. Shared this NYT gift link in the general investment thread, no harm done repeating it here: [https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/business/tesla-elon-musk-29-billion.html?unlocked\_article\_code=1.bk8.4k46.gxKFrMXWfWAg&smid=url-share](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/business/tesla-elon-musk-29-billion.html?unlocked_article_code=1.bk8.4k46.gxKFrMXWfWAg&smid=url-share) 29 additional billion, that should bring a couple of women to consider joining his harem. He could spend a million a day on women for the next 80 years with those 29 billion, not counting the accrued interest. Not that I whished him such a long life. ---

I’m not intending to bring up that whole case again, but I will say that I don’t find secondhand testimony all that convincing, and according to that article: “As for the feces, the judge found: “For what it is worth, I consider that it is unlikely that Ms Heard or one of her friends was responsible.” Anyway, back to the ickiness of Elon Musk. ---
