Comment on My battle with Tesla: I want to clear my name before I die

Comments

"I want to clear my name. I wish Elon Musk had the decency to apologise," is her message to the company’s billionaire boss.

Know this: You will never get a narcissist to genuinely apologize.

The amount of children he has (like George Clooney), even multiple women pregnant at the same time [1]. I don't understand why women fall for it, and assume this time it is different. Though maybe that is part of the package deal?

People are fallible, simple as that. People fall for all kinds of cons all the time. Sometimes they want to believe, sometimes they have their own incentives, sometimes they specifically seek destructive scenarios. I'm sure there are other reasons as well.

I thought George Clooney only has two kids.

I was wrong that one, my bad. I tried to find sources on this and only hearsay that he has more.

Sure, but... it's easy to imagine what an apology would cause: a precedent. That would open the door to a lot more potential issues.

This is also true; apologies would quite possibly be useful in a legal action.

Is this an issue the scale of Dieselgate? Because it seems that's roughly what it takes for an automotive CEO to issue an apology.

But you might get a fat cheque from a billionaire.

How does getting someone to apologize “clear” your name? Heh sounds like she’s the narcissist.
