Well, I have to admit to being pleasantly and genuinely surprised. I was ready to just dismiss all my notifications unread on this thread. I'm not used to any Internet arguments going this way, let alone ones about Musk or American politics. Thanks. Although this does mean that now I've been fed a little bit of hope to keep me going in the pursuit of thankless truths, when I could have just quit, so maybe it's a mixed bit of gratitude. :)

Elon Musk is, indeed, a giant tool. Even back in the days before he got overtly political it was clear that he was socially malajusted, and unfortunately it seems like buying Twitter was somewhat of a turning point for him - he fell completely off a cliff after that. I really wish he'd just stuck to building those various companies of his because I really do like the results of his work, in a "von Braun was good for the American space program" sort of way. I don't imagine his current trajectory is going to end well and I hope he at least gets Starship flying routinely before he goes Howard Hughes.
