You're illustrating my point. Your formula is: if SpaceX does well then Elon Musk has nothing to do with it. If Twitter/X fails it's Elon Musk's fault. BUT if something unexpected happens with a SpaceX launch all of a sudden it's Elon Musk's fault again. This is the game. Then people pretend his behavior is "unwell" or "unhinged". Then I ask them "how is he unhinged" and I get a long confusing rant about nonsense. Personally I prefer progress over a popularity. Nerds are just bullying nerds at this point.

So the only reason why people shouldn't get away with bad public behaviour is that they aren't a billionaire? I think you are the bully here.

I just explained the difference between the two companies. At Twitter he has the clearance to do whatever he wants. At SpaceX, there are constraints. I never mentioned a failed SpaceX launch. Imagine describing Musk’s behavior to a stranger while leaving out a name: Impulsively buying a beleaguered business, then destroying its only revenue through further impulsivity. Would a well person in his situation give the recent, “Go Fuck Yourself” speech to advertisers?

  > I never mentioned a failed SpaceX. Your believes about his “behavior” will make you if it happens. That will be the rationalization. An ad hominem attack. Musk’s can tell advertisers to go fuck themselves. Lots of other companies do. Valve is probably the most successful example.

    You seem to want to argue with someone else who is not me. Again, I never mentioned failed SpaceX launches, and now you’re telling me what I will say next. I don’t see how Valve is analogous. Perhaps if they were in a financial nosedive, and turned around and told software publishers to go fuck themselves?

      I agree, I’m talking to the wrong person.
