Looking at the multiple threads about Musk/Twitter a clear pattern emerges: 1) People who look at the future with wide eyes and and a huge amount of optimism would gladly put their lives, finances and generally the whole society in the hands of this man. 2) People (including myself) who look at the future as a concept that scammers and snake oil salesmen often use to convince people to give them money...well they think this guy is nothing but a scammer and a snakeoil salesman convinving people to give him money right now for stuff that he'll never deliver. I sometimes envy the first category and would like to make a leap on the other side...just to see what it's like...but man are the awakenings rough. When they happen the former optimists reach level of cynism that are sky high even for those of us who are regularly cynic.
