Same! I was planning on buying a new Tesla next year before Elon literally turned into Scrooge McDuck

  Exactly! I might have expected him to be an anti-humanist because he made such a point of loving humanity. Perhaps he does but he dislikes people intently based on his actions. I think all of these things are true simultaneously: - There were many engineers at Twitter building overly complex things. Twitter was overdue for a classic re-org. - There are many individuals on the Twitter platform that were enabling the cancel culture and impacting free speech. - There are many trolls on the platform, enabled by many bots, impacting narratives and in some cases influencing politics. - Elon's narrative of Twitter's content moderation skewing liberal is false. Facts consistently have a liberal bias, despite a few notable exceptions. - Twitter content moderation was not wrong. In order to have a free society and free speech, we must be intolerant of intolerance (Karl Popper). - Elon seems personally oligopolistic, anti-democracy, and a throwback to the gilded age. He reminds me of Henry Ford, there is a clear lack of empathy here. - While I will watch SpaceX with great enthusiasm, I will not be buying a Tesla.
