Gizmodo has decided to report on the startling and unexpected revelation that Elon Musk is a bit of an asshat. (h/t to Loose noodle poodle doodle over on Pharyngula.) This is not my typical beat here at Pervert Justice, but I was charmed by one anecdote – not by Musk’s behavior, but by that of an unnamed “girlfriend”. (Factcheck: almost certainly an adult.) Gizmodo puts this in a quote, but doesn’t clearly identify where the quote is coming from, so you’ll just have to settle for clicking through to Gizmodo if you’re the kind of person who wants to check my sources.
Anyway, the anecdote:
According to one person who witnessed an argument between Musk and a former girlfriend upon leaving a club one evening, Musk aggressively railed against her, asking why she had hair on her face (referring to the slight peach fuzz that everyone has, visible under the bright light of the club’s awning). “Because I’m a mammal,” the girlfriend replied, which only pissed Musk off even more.
“Former girlfriend”, may I subscribe to your newsletter?
Mmmm, claimed hearsay character assassination. Just the thing.
ahem

Have a nice day.
Well, I did look at the Gizmodo source.

BTW, chigau: I did defecate quite comfortably today, as I do every day. By the standards of someone who is constipated, that constitutes a very nice day.
So, by at least one criterion, your request has been fulfilled.
(Why? Because I’m a deuterostome)
