I havenāt been to Burning Man since 2002. But the fact that it had no problems having Muskās brother on the board through the last 2 years, and only NOW has an issue because of a link to Epstein, must mean Burning Man stick-a-fork-in-it done. Just gross.

Has burning man not been kind of openly sponsored by tech moguls for years? Iāve never gone and donāt really like the idea of taking part of a gathering tons of people in a desert area without plumbing. Whenever I read about it, all I hear are stories of guys like Sergey Brin bringing these massive luxury tent setups and entourages. I know itās originally from counterculture, but Muskās brother being on the board is about as surprising to me as it would be if Eric Trump gets a spot on FIFAās board.
Yeah the techies/Rich Kids of Instagram have been invading it for a while with exclusive luxury BS. But I didnāt know it went as far as Muskās brother on the board.
Did you know anything about his brother other than heās related to Elon? What about Vivian Wilson? What if she were on the board?
Last year, Musk called the moon āa distractionā and said SpaceX is going āstraight to Mars.ā Musk previously lobbied President Trump for backing on his Mars mission by telling the president that getting people to the planet would cement his legacy as a āpresident of firsts,ā The Wall Street Journal reported.
SpaceX was incorporated 24 years ago. Mars missions: zero. And the first one wonāt be coming this year either, suckers.
SpaceX has put off a mission to Mars planned for this year, shifting its focus to a long-promised lunar voyage for NASA.

First to be impeached twice. Maybe first to three. First to ride the first manned flight to Mars.
He should have resigned due to his ties to Elon Musk.

If he was just saying āI got mildly sexually abused, Iām fine now, it doesnāt necessarily have to be a big dealā then I think that would be laudable and a good contribution to discourse. I am less keen on this:
Referring to his early days at a boarding school in Salisbury, he recalled how one of the (unnamed) masters āpulled me on his knee and put his hand inside my shorts.ā
He said other children in his school peer group had been molested by the same teacher but concluded: āI donāt think he did any of us lasting harm.ā
For a number of reasons:
- Iām not sure he has any sound basis to decide that no other kids were done lasting harm
- This sort of anecdote would hardly be accepted by him in any other context. If I were like āI drank a bunch of alcohol in my early teenage years but Iām fine now so actually this is no big dealā Iām pretty sure he would scoff at this and demand hard evidence in the form of scientific studies into the actual average impact of this on young people.
- Even if it is true that this sort of relatively mild abuse is not such a big deal, it is very often used as a grooming technique to identify pliable victims for more serious abuse, a possibility he doesnāt appear to consider.
I mean, I sort of sympathize. I think it would be a good idea if victims were able, where possible, to conceive of their experience as not such a big deal - that would be helpful in processing it. I also think it would be nice if society were a little less vindictive towards more mild sex offenders and treated them like people with an unfortunate compulsion, along the lines of addicts. I donāt think heās a terrible person for arguing the way he is arguing, but I do kind of think itās a terrible argument.
