    Rogan is more of a general conservative asshole. And very gullible. Musk is very definitely a queer-hating bigot and always has been. He just used to hide those beliefs.

    You don’t just become bigoted against queer people.

      im pretty sure you can. It’s not like you’re born with the gene that makes you hate gay people or something. There was that recent couple that came out denouncing the republican party due to their trans kid. queer people were once completely socially unacceptable, now they’re like, pretty socially acceptable. My guess is that musk wasn’t entirely supportive of it before, or just wasn’t very outspoken about it, or that it was actually a much longer more gradual change than it feels like.

      Also let’s be honest, if someone offered either one of us a billion dollars for saying that we hate gay people, we’d take the money and run.

        You really need to read the interview with his daughter I posted elsewhere in the thread. He didn’t accept that she was gay when he thought she was his son and gay and he doesn’t accept that she’s a woman now.

      Sure they do. Being a bigot is not something you are born with. It’s not inherited. It’s something learned. You become a bigot.
