The pronoun-hating, apartheid-era emerald mine heir was photographed in his swim trunks being hosed by a musclebound man in Mykonos, Greece over the weekend.

Per Page Six:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The multibillionaire was with a small group that included newlywed pals Ari Emanuel and Sarah Staudinger as they sailed the Aegean Sea on the “Zeus” — an almost $20,000-per-week motor yacht that can accommodate six guests in over three cabins and comes with a professional crew.
The response to the photos has mostly been one of alarm. Many people were concerned about whether 51-year-old Musk was wearing sunscreen…
Honestly, I just hope he is wearing good sunscreen

I just want to know where @elonmusk gets his 1,000 SPF sunscreen because I too would like to look like a beluga whale or a cryptid from an ancient underground tomb.

Musk, who is currently being sued by Twitter for not following through with his $44 billion purchase of the social media company, responded to the online chatter by threatening to take off his shirt again.
“Haha damn, maybe I should take off my shirt more often … free the nip!! (already back in the factory btw)” he tweeted in response to someone tagging him in a photo.

Musk is no stranger to body shaming other people in public forums, particularly fellow billionaires who he finds threatening.
In April, he trolled Bill Gates by comparing him to the pregnant man emoji, writing: “in case u need to lose a boner fast.”

The transphobic tweet quickly went viral after it was shared with Musk’s 101 million followers and still remains up on his page today, even after his own child came out as trans.
Last month, Musk’s 18-year-old daughter, Vivian, petitioned for a name change–first and last–as both part of her transition and to distance herself from the multibillionaire.
According to leaked records from the Los Angeles County Court, she gave the following reason for the change: “Gender Identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.”

Musk looks like grandpa Munster if he ever got down to his shirts. Yech.

He’s barrel-chested, which is more about the structure of the ribcage than it is about fat.
Anyways, I don’t care for body-shaming.

Body-shaming is not cool, even when the subject is an evil c**t like Musk. He’d still be a sociopathic jerk if he looked like Zac Efron.

I don’t get why he is evil.

You mean in addition to supporting anti-LGBTQ bigots for office?
