For the most part, you're probably correct, but Elon Musk would've been bullied mercilessly in my high school, and it probably could've instilled some sense of self awareness if he had been.

I think the same is probably true of Stephen Miller and J.D. Vance.

Elon Musk WAS bullied in high school and Stephen Miller was a social pariah for being a freaky little racist weirdo. They both still turned out this way. I'm so tired of people saying "if only they had been bullied more!", when we know now that healthy socialization always leads to better outcomes and that having more money than god breaks peoples brains and how they perceive the world.

He is not an actual nerd/geek tbf.

I don't agree with the implicit assumption that the people who are bullied have to be actual nerds/geeks. People get bullied for being different, whatever that may be, and Elon strikes me as a real weirdo.

And of course that assumes a lack of charisma, which of course describes Elon. Charismatic weirdos can actually set trends to follow, whereas uncharismatic weirdos tend to become social pariahs.

I bet Stephen Miller was bullied, that's why he has so much to prove. Musk maybe too. Both of them get bullied quite a bit now and nothing seems to work. Although, Elon has sort of disappeared. Where is that pesky little nazi.

He seems to have finally realized everytime he opens his idiot mouth more people hate him and the growth in hate is expotential not linear.
