It's fascinating how completely Elon Musk has stepped into Trump's old role on Twitter. It's not just that he's the most referenced and discussed character, but that he is held up as the paragon of power, cleverness, and manhood by his rather dim fans, while being university made fun of as thin-skinned, impulsive, and rather dim himself by everyone else, all while he seems entirely lacking in self-awareness or, really, dignity. He's basically Trump's social media twin.
@arossp One major difference - Trump got all the publicity for free, while Musk flushed 45 bln down the toilet and is selling Tesla shares to pay off creditors.
Trump was exploiting someone else's platform. Musk is torching his own.
