    The phrasing.

    “Never went to therapy.”

    Not “Never needed therapy.”

    “Never went” implies you were supposed to go.

    “What happened with therapy, Elon?”

    “I never went.”

      “What happened with therapy, Elon?”

      “I never went.”

      I’ll bet that’s a lie. I bet he went once, was called out on his bullshit, tried to outsmart the therapist who ran circles around him, and felt uncomfortably vulnerable. Then, instead of confronting his issues and doing the hard work, he decided that therapy was just woke bullshit that only “”“females”“” need. Out of shame for either turning to therapy in the first place or failing at it, he boldly proclaimed this on his personal propaganda platform so that everyone would know what a genius, manly, alpha-male, gigachad he really is.

        literally the therapy scene in Succession where Logan Roy says “Everything I did, I did for my family,” and is absolutely rocked when he doest “win” and the therapist doesn’t instantly proclaim them cured.

      “Never went” implies you were supposed to go.

      since we are doing semantics, this is incorrect. “never went” does not imply anything
