    As pathetic as it sounds, yes. There was an abrupt change in Muskrat’s behaviour after that snub. He swung hard towards Republicans immediately after it, and was very very loudly butthurt about it all over social media.

    Should a grown man be that fragile, no.

    But all evidence suggested he indeed was, and part of this hellscape we are in is because Dems shunned Tesla & Musk in a public way and damaged his apparently fragile ego.

      I seem to recall him starting to go nuts on social media and podcasts long before the Biden administration. But I’m sure such a snub didn’t help things.
