Strongly disagree.
Why does he have to do any of that, and do you seriously believe you know the "potential" of a stranger? There are likely constraints here you're not thinking about.
"die on the moon" probably isn't an option when a bunch of people depend on him.
- unethical_ban 4y agoYou put up a strawman. u/roughly didn't say Musk "has" to do anything; merely that it is pathetic that of all the options of how to spend one's mortal existence as a hundred-thousand-millionaire with two successful, boundary pushing businesses, posting low-level tripe on a social network you have paid half your fortune for and decimated in a matter of weeks is a poor way to go about it. In other words, for you to "strongly disagree", it would seem you think it is not sad at all that Musk is engaged in tweeting superficial culture war memes dozens of times a day.
- sublinear 4y agoI'm going to sidestep the misapplication of logical fallacy and just state the obvious: 1) You probably don't know what else he does or doesn't do with his free time beyond his tweets 2) Twitter is a form of marketing and always has been

Marketing in the loosest of terms, if trolling counts. Listen, we're talking opinion here. I don't know what you stand for. You haven't directly taken a stance on whether you think his time is well spent, you are just trying to state that no one has a right to judge it, or doesn't have enough info to judge it. I do think I have enough info, with my own eyes, to see that his behavior is poor and that whatever time he is spending on twitter is time wasted. Marketing? Self-sabotage.
