In another universe, Remus killed Romulus
And they had the Remen Empire
Kick him in the nuts so hard you remove him from the gene pool permanently.

"Treated tap water" is (theoretically. Most people have a filter at home anyway) drinkable, and you get it from the water company.
"Untreated tap water" can be pulled from a well, or a cistern, or even bought from the water company, but it has no standards for drinkability it's held up to. It is therefore, cheaper. It has its uses in cleaning and such.1
I had ADHD a full 20 years before tiktok was invented
I was fourteen when I first got unlimited internet access.
ADHD is something you're born with.
Eh. There's plenty of cis bigoted dudes in the Furry fandom (and Musk would absolutely be a furry if he'd been given unlimited internet access without also being a public figure).
And on the fediverse for that matter, you just don't run into them as often here because most major instances ban (at least the more egregious) bigoted talk, and are also defederated from all the far-right instances.
Of course, if he wasn’t born wealthy he wouldn’t be who he is,
Musk wasn't always as completely off his hinges as he is right now, and I feel like at least half of the reason he got as bad as he did, is because he is constantly, 24/7/365, surrounded by yes men who do nothing but say how great and smart he is (and he has the money and power to ensure this always remains the case)
Like he was always a bigot and kind of a dumbshit, but he didn't become unhinged until a few years back.
Which is why I think a hypothetical middle-or-lower-class Elon Musk would be just.
.... A mediocre internet user. Holds some bigoted opinions. Gets into fights on webforums and social media. Has a low-level job in tech doing something no one cares about for a company everyone hates.
Becoming an agent of an ancient entity who gives me power and prestige in exchange for aiding with their possibly-evil goals.
Like my Fursona!
(I think they are asking about what level of wealth he'd be born into in your imaginary scenario -- I wrote my post assuming 'my own', which is to say 'comfortably middle-class parents in a rapidly crumbling economy, not poor per-se, but working class nonetheless, and pretty much guaranteed to die poorer than his folks')
Statistically?
Here. Not this very thread, but the fediverse in general.
He's very autistic, but if he weren't a billionaire the material conditions that made him a fascist wouldn't be there. (Although being from South Africa, he'd probably still be a massive Racist)
This means there's a 93.4% chance he'd be a smarmy Linux guy. Nowhere near as intelligent as he thinks he is and honestly pretty obnoxious, but harmless.
"This is called 'maths'. Or 'math' if you're American, as they're only allowed to have one. Due to... I don't know budget cuts or something". — ASHEN, Stuart
Probably something from an anime, like those hyped up japanese songs that play on Digimon when they are powering up.
Blah blah blah "we built our own great firewall and painted it red white and blue, and even banned the use of vpns to get to foreign sites which even China doesn't do. We're totally the good guys BTW."
Americans are so fucking stupid, oh my god.
@EDIT: So it turns out the RESTRICT Act, that I was thinking of, and which banned VPNs, was shot down. And the current and approved Tiktok ban law doesn't do that. So. My b. This one is on me. I stand by "Americans are so fucking stupid oh my god", though, because you're still cheering for loss of net liberty.
