I agree totally with you about the cave diver thing. And so does he. He said it was a huge mistake and he regrets it. Have we not all said things in the heat of the moment we regret? The false claim about one of most powerful and privileged people (Pelosi) in the world was another mistake and something he quickly deleted. Oh no. Be sure to fall on your fainting couch. Elon gets false accusations like that sent his way every single day. But one sent briefly in the other direction is an unacceptable slight and worth endless hand wringing? And please explain to us how any of those are remotely as consequential as examples like Weapons of Mass Destruction or Russiagate or stoking a race war for clicks.

Oh yes, Elon's furthering of humanity by "suggesting" Ukraine entirely surrender to Russia, let them keep everything they've seized violently, and just "carry on with their day". Funnily enough, too, there are people who think that hey, maybe it's a better goal for humanity to y'know, fix the place we live, rather than vacuuming government billions to "colonize Mars". According to Musk he was intending to send a manned mission there next year and have established the first settlement by the end of the decade. Maybe that's what people mean when they talk about him being far more show than substance. (Also, to pre-empt the inevitable: this isn't to say "he hasn't achieved anything". Of course he has.)
