There’s a lot of incredibly racist commentary now. The toxicity is at a whole other level at this point.

- Robotbeat 4y agoThe content moderation policy hasn’t changed. I mean, I guess some far right folk think Elon’s their man. They’re sorely mistaken (as can be seen by the outrage/despair of Nazis when Elon said he’s talking with ADL representatives).
- bergenty 4y agoHopefully. Elon never felt like a racist to me plus he’s been my hero for a very long time so I hope I don’t have to start disliking him.
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoHeroes don't generally make libelous pedo accusations against people who are trying to do good things.
- bergenty 4y agoI’m willing to overlook all that. My worldview gives self made successful men a LOT of leeway before I care.
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoThat's a pretty broken philosophy.
- mcv 4y agoLots of people seem to want to see Elon (or any famous person) as either a hero or a villain, but the reality is that most people are a bit of both. They do both good and bad. I appreciate Musk for making electric cars sexy, making space flight cheaper and less wasteful, and making lots of solar panels. I don't like him picking stupid internet fights or occasionally going mad with power. It's a mix.
- Robotbeat 4y ago90% of the stupid stuff that Elon has done (that we know about) comes from his interactions on the toxic social media platform, Twitter. He’d be better off deleting his Twitter account and moving to Mastodon. Or just off social media altogether.
