Excellent analogy

  No, comparing Musk to slavery is probably not an excellent analogy. Jesus Christ

    You’ve misunderstood the analogy. The analogy is about misusing a high minded principle to further selfish - or even morally negative - ends. It is, indeed, a good analogy.

      He didn't misunderstand the analogy, it's obvious what was meant. He's pointing out that comparing Musk's intentions to slavery is absurd, which it is. It's a crap analogy because: a. Nothing Musk is doing or wants to do with Twitter is immoral. b. Even if you disagree the scale is totally wrong, but in analogies the sense of scale matters.
