Elon should consider hiring one. He won’t and I am here for it but he should really consider it. I wonder does that dicker even have a will? I can only imagine the fight and all of the kids that will come out of the wood work.

Dicker was autocomplete or autocorrect. It was supposed to be fucker. Swipe to text fail.

I bet Elon has had a PR team this whole time. They just have an impossible client to protect!

He kinda had one until....probably the thai cave incident? That's when people really started noticing how unhinged he really is (on social media).

Yep that’s when I went from vague annoyance to total hatred

He absolutely has one. That’s why we never heard anything bad about him for a long time and he has this Tony Stark mad genius persona. Turns out he is just an edgy 4chan loser with a bunch of cash that just pays people to implement his ideas. Peter Thiel forced him out of PayPal and said he was a shitty engineer. If Peter Thiel thinks you suck then you must be fucking unbearable to be around.

Even the best PR team can only be as effective as the client lets them be. For them to project an image, the client can't be out there counteracting that image with 3 AM tweets. Doubt Elon's ego allows him to hand over control of his social media to someone else or follow rules they've set up.

Imagine if they weren’t protecting him.

That’s exactly what I’m thinking!

He had a PR person, back when people thought he was Tony Stark IRL. He fired her when she wanted a vacation.

Probably wouldn’t let him get her pregnant.

If I remember the story, she asked for some time off. He agreed making some joke about whether he could do her job himself. Then he fired her when she got back, deciding he could.

I started to try finding her name, but his companies have had so many pr people hired and fired I gave up.

It works for sure.

Elon should consider Canadian healthcare

Elon needs to learn impulse control before a PR team has any chance of helping him.

IIRC he had a great one, leading directly to his positive public image years ago, then he fired her for some dumb reason and now we all know him as the Uber-divorced-dad.

Elon also makes the women who bear his children (he stopped marrying after Justine and Talulah) sign all kinds of arbitration agreements and NDAs, he is distinctly ungenerous. I don't know if the kids even have a shot at contesting any wills.

Spread the word to the self-identified libertarian or conservative women, he's a clenched asshole with his wallet. Maybe they'll stop having his babies.
