I don’t have strong opinions on Elon Musk: I’ve heard such contradictory accounts from people with first-hand knowledge that I don’t know what to believe.
Certainly what he’s doing with Twitter looks weird at best to another veteran of the social media business, but I can’t even claim to have put rockets into orbit, so what do I know.
He was known for publicity stunts and deliberately contrarian statements for at least a decade now.
But I think it’s a barometer for the degree to which 1-bit red team / blue team stuff has dominated the public head space that he went from peerless hero to menace to society right around the time he started talking some Trumpy shit.
I’m roughly left of Lenin, so I personally have about zero patience with MAGA shit. But as concerning as MAGA shit is, I find the echo chamber even more worrisome.
