He's rich, powerful, influential and when asked if he was joking doubled down. Plenty of shitholes are now defending Elon with the "but why else would someone possibly live in Thailand".

We're asshats on an internet comedy forum who all know we're collectively joking. We think he is creepy and lovely, but none of us actually believe he is a child molester.

I can't believe I have to actually explain context to you.

i’m noticing a pattern with musk. he makes a statement that ought to be illegal, but he puts a joke in it, therefore if and when he is arrested he’ll just roll his eyes and all his followers will think the SEC is a bunch of humourless idiots
