A great day to revisit Wil Wheaton's excellent takedown of Elon Musk from 2022;

I can not fathom the emptiness, the insecurity, the insatiable need for attention and validation, the staggering arrogance, the malevolence and total void of human experience that is Elon Musk.

He's the richest man on the planet. You can't go anywhere or do anything without interacting with something he's part of in some way. There are literal millions of people who uncritically worship him, in spite of overwhelming evidence that he's a do*****ag. Some number of them will come after me, as they come after anyone who points at their naked emperor.

They'll spend entire days going after me and people like me, slavishly serving a man who does not even know they exist. They are his army of fools, uncritically serving his every whim. And it still isn't enough.

He can have any material thing he wants, and he will never be happy or satisfied.
He has no real friends. Every single person around him is either a viper, a parasite, or both.

So what does he do? He bullies and threatens and harasses and trolls and behaves like the weak, scared, insecure child he has always been. That's a tragedy for him, but it's dangerous for us. He doesn't care what he destroys or who he hurts as he chases this existential thing he can not ever have.

You know the saying "hurt people hurt people"? He's a hurt person who is hurting our society, making people I care about less safe. The consequences of this one man's midlife crisis are global, and that terrifies me.

Mary-Ann is a true fighter. For over four years, she has battled kidney failure caused by a rare autoimmune disease, leaving her reliant on dialysis four times a day. Despite the severe lifestyle restrictions and physical toll, her spirit remains unbroken. With unwavering support from her son Reed, who has put his life on hold, Mary-Ann faces each day with courage and positivity. Yet, she dreams of a life free from dialysis, injections, and blood draws—a return to normalcy where she can travel, enjoy a normal diet, swim, play and teach music, and savor the simple joy of a warm bath.

We came so close to finding the right donor, but unfortunately, we couldn't move forward. Despite this setback, we are confident that this time, everything will fall into place, allowing Mary-Ann to finally regain a normal life.

This campaign, "Mary-Ann's Search for a Hero," is a call to action. Mary-Ann shares her journey not for sympathy but to find the one person who can make a lifesaving difference through kidney donation.

For information on kidney donation, please contact NYU Kidney Transplant by phone (212) 263 - 3621 or email: NYUTrLivingDonor@NYULangone.org

Welcome to Mary-Ann's Search for a Hero 🌟

Mary-Ann is a fighter. For over three years, she has been battling kidney failure caused by a rare auto-immune disease that has tragically targeted her kidneys leaving her dependent on dialysis 4 times daily. Despite the challenges, including severe restrictions on her lifestyle and the physical toll of dialysis, Mary-Ann's spirit remains unbroken. Supported tirelessly by her son Reed, who has put his life on hold, Mary-Ann continues to face each day with courage and positivity. Yet, she dreams of a return to normalcy—a day without dialysis, injections, blood draws; the freedom to travel, to eat a normal diet, to swim, to play and teach music, and the simple joy of a warm bath.

This campaign, "Mary-Ann's Search for a Hero," is more than a call for help; it's a call to action to join a community of heroes. MaryAnn has shared her journey not for sympathy, but to find that one person who can make a lifesaving difference through kidney donation.

I'm working with Renewal, a non-profit in Brooklyn, to support individuals with kidney disease in finding donors. Renewal provides comprehensive guidance, covering all related costs including travel, lodging, and lost wages. I urge you to explore their impactful work on their website. For initial testing and information, please reach out to Renewal directly. They handle the preliminary matching and coordinate further testing with us, ensuring exceptional support for donors.
