Is it really so hard for you to accept that he's just being like any person and sharing what he finds to be worth sharing? He was always like this. He started SpaceX because he thought putting a dome on Mars within which plants would be grown would be inspiring. The only reason it wasn't on social media was because it wasn't really much of a thing at the time. He didn't care about the optics and tried to buy an ICBM from Russia for this purpose. To me that sounds like the same person as he is on social media.

> To me that sounds like the same person as he is on social media. So randomly claiming someone's a pedophile is somehow "the same" as wanting to put a dome on Mars because it's inspiring? I honestly don't see how you can say that sounds like the same person. > sharing what he finds to be worth sharing? Are we honestly looking at the same tweets? Just looked and his pinned tweet is about Mexico and asylum seekers, does that sound "inspiring" to you? What about "My pronouns are Proscute/Fauci"? He's fully lost the plot. He's no longer about grand inspiring endeavors, and is instead knee deep in social wars, posting shitty memes all day. What's the last inspiring thing he's done?

  > 'He's fully lost the plot.' His pinned tweet expresses concern about the border crisis, specifically the risk of undesirable people crossing the border. He's expressing what he cares about, is the parent's point. Abrasive or animated expression of views, isn't losing the plot. As for jokes about pronouns and other triggering issues, it can sometimes be defended when the joke is similar to the Gemini jokes. That is, poking fun at things that might deserve a bit of poking fun at, even ridicule in the case of Gemini.

    > He's expressing what he cares about, is the parent's point And my point is that he used to care about inspiring stuff, now he spends all his time caring about useless culture wars.

      Again, as objectively as I can, it looks like he believes the country is having an existential crisis deserving of his attention. "Useless" is your opinion, not an objective measure. "Culture wars" is a trope designed to broadly smear the target, disregarding specifics. Do you want Musk to be an inspiration vending machine? Your insistence he tighten his inspiration schedule to meet your expectations, is odd.

Yeah, or look at Tesla history. Any “normal” ceo would’ve just cashed out and doomed that project, but Elon… I remember that time when he asked Engineers to make sales calls. What normal CEO does that? Whatever people think of them at least it is interesting and fun to live during these times.
