So, cyberbullying and toxic gamer communities are very much a thing and definitely a problem, but I have to admit, that story really did make day... I laughed for a while, I shared it with my neighbors, it's still fucking funny!
You know, the thing is... the whole mess was entirely Elon's fault. If he just wanted an escape from his stressful life, he could totally just play the game and it would work out fine for him. But because he felt the narcissistic need to live stream it (because he apparently desperately needs others to tell him how awesome he is), he got his stupid face kicked into the mud. And that's really on him...
There’s definitely a power dynamic aspect to bullying. Bullying down? Or bullying another shmoe? Not great. Bullying a rich powerful asshole? Different story.
