Yes I'm not on the Elon hate bandwagon. He's entitled to his politics.
Most of the people who are on that bandwagon would place their favorite celebrity on a higher pedestal than EM. Which is to say the way we rank people and go after people seems off. It's easier to stay on people's "good side" when you're not doing anything different.
- BirAdam 4y agoI just think it's neat that America has a celebrity who's a nerdy engineering type rather than another Kardashian (no hate, I just don't relate to that cuz I'm a nerd). For the most part, the people I've admired in my life like Claude Shannon or Jim Keller are known exclusively within the tech world and even then not universally even in that subculture. Elon everyone knows. I don't care too much one way or another about the guy, but I at least like that the country I live in has more or less embraced a nerd. Feels good somehow.
