This reminds me of when Trump was obsessed with Kristen Stewart's and Robert Patterson's breakup and would post about it all the time, and also when Elon Musk got involved with #freeBritney and was obsessed with Britney Spears.

Like... why on earth are these grown men with very busy important jobs injecting themselves in these celebrity dramas, why are they tweeting about it, why do they think we care, and why is the media covering it!!

cause they are neither grown men nor have busy and important jobs. I know cause I am and I got no time for that shit :)


Like don't get me wrong sometimes I enjoy celebrity gossip (hurrah, Prince Andrew was stripped of his title and lost his tax-payer paid for house!), but I generally only comment about it to my partner and don't tweet about it, and also I am not President of the United States nor CEO of three companies. And if I was I would keep those things to myself and not interject to the world so they could all know my hot takes.


But yet you have time to comment here? I suspect you are also neither as well. :p


ping me when you are a celebrity and I'll retract my statement ;)


Haha I never claimed I was at all busy, a grown man, or have an important job. I'd hate that!


It is unsurprising that "grown men with very busy important jobs" are also amused by entertainment, consume it, and want to talk to others about it. For the simple reason that they are also humans, and humans like that kind of stuff.
