"So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates - scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history,"
"In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured, The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the 'most wealthy person in the world.'"
"Oates is a lazy liar and... an abuser of semicolons! Eating a bag of sawdust would be vastly more enjoyable than reading the laboriously pretentious drivel of Oates,"
Elon Musk posted a lengthy defense of his $1 trillion pay package on X and received a scathing reply from Joyce Carol Oates, who noted that he never posts about nature, pets, arts, books, history, or personal sentiments. Oates described him as totally uneducated and uncultured and suggested poorer Twitter users may access more beauty and meaning. The post went viral. Musk's supporters rushed to defend his intelligence and reading habits. Musk responded angrily on X, calling Oates a lazy liar and an 'abuser of semicolons,' and posted a further insult comparing reading her work to eating sawdust.
