I love how people think Elon is "evil" when it's clear people who interpret his banter this way have 100% fallen for his trolling. I chuckle at "journalists" / people who snidely respond to his tweets thinking he cares about their opinion. Twitter is obviously pure entertainment for Mr. Musk. And yes, I fully acknowledge Tesla is a shit show and would never want to work there - a good friend of mine works at Tesla and confirms this all the time lmao.

Doesn't this line of thinking lead to everyone being able to project any viewpoint on him by deciding which (different) things are trolling and which are not?

  Are you really claiming it's hard to tell whether or not a facetious tweet like "we aren't going to follow earth laws on mars" differs from "can't wait to rollout new model Y features"? This is first grade level perception, no? You're really arguing that what someone says is either always serious or always comical and meaningless? Living like this must be incredibly exhausting my friend...

Not to veer into politics, but I've heard the same thing said about Donald Trump. At some point The Rule of Goats[1] applies.

  Ironically, you could argue the same about some of Kamala Hariss' rhetoric.

This is easy to solve: Trolling is evil. Don't do it.

If a public person is pretending to be serious and is trolling they do not deserve to be taken seriously by anyone. When anything you said can be turned into 'I was just trolling' you do not deserve an ounce of consideration. As your statements hold 0 value.

  And yet, obviously you're still flustered about it so it seems like it still worked.
