What's going on with this obsession over Musk? Calm down, it's just another social network, it might fail, it might not, but please ask yourself, what is so imp

  Without offering my personal view on the matter: there are individuals who believe that social networks, such as Twitter, have a non-trivial impact on public life (e.g., through political influence). These individuals likely believe they are essentially engaged in political activism by putting effort into this. There are also people who think he has enough on his plate with Tesla and SpaceX, and that these are more valuable ways to contribute to society than putzing around with a social media site. They'll put effort into this as well.

    You are in no position to tell another person what they should be spending their time on.

      The irony being the comment he’s responding to is doing just that?

      I think you meant to respond to the parent of my comment. I didn’t suggest either group I noted was right (or wrong).

  Idk why you think Musk should be treated like someone's shitty Dad trying to skip town. He's a literal billionaire, who could be trying to gain political and economic favors through who he meets. His actions have a very real material effect on the world, just ask any of the (now fired) Twitter employees.
