“Technically correct" means a statement or action follows strict rules or exact facts precisely, even if it ignores the wider meaning or real-world intention.

“Technically correct" means a statement or action follows strict rules or exact facts precisely, even if it ignores the wider meaning or real-world intention. I think op was also actually-correct. (For better or worse, that is the objective reality; Musk still has lot of fans)

I feel like im losing my mind a bit reading these responses, someone can at once be very hated and very loved, this is not a new thing, one does not invalidate the other. Of course he has a lot of fans, he has a lot of hate too. That makes him a divisive figure by definition (I’d least hope we can agree on that). I mean I guess we can disagree but it seems like common sense to me to want someone more neutral to be in charge of super mega important tech. Maybe I’m the weird one nowadays as I tend to try and vote centrists for the same reason.

  > ... someone can at once be very hated and very loved ... And (like Musk) can even be both (or more) all at once to a given specific individual (loved for the good he's done, and hated for the bad) and even pitied at the same time (for how far he's fallen), and feared (for the damage he can still do).

    People here seems so much down the path of interpreting everything with the individualistic narrative. What's the guess under this? That once the puppet placed on the top of the pyramid is wiped out, the pyramid will suddenly evaporate? What about social structures and ideology that are deeply enshrined within collective unconsciousness?

  This is not going to happen because vibing on extreme claims, selling FUD all days, and optimizing mass addiction^w engagement loops is not going to attract more "neutral" people (whatever that means).

This is silly pedantry. Musk can have many fans and be one of the most hated people at the same time. Please touch some grass.
