There's another duality of thought: I want SpaceX and Tesla to succeed. Regardless of my feelings about him, I acknowledge that Elon was instrumental in sparking the shift to EVs. Also, that having a dictator with a vision can allow companies to do audacious things that would normally die in committees (like reusable rockets, etc...)
That said, I have nothing but contempt for the man and am petty enough to have schadenfreude in any of his personal comeuppance.
- dcormier 3y agoI have enjoyed watching a new launch provider emerge, EVs become a real thing, and him being forced to buy Twitter.
- shiroiuma 3y agoWatching him be forced to buy Twitter was kinda funny at the time, but it's turned into a huge disappointment. I was really hoping to see the whole site completely implode, and then go out of business, and it hasn't happened yet. The world would be better off without Twitter (now "X"... ugh).
- pstuart 3y agoGive it time -- it needs advertisers to survive and they appear to be fleeing. I believe in "free speech" but also think that absolutism in that regard is horseshit.
