Folx inability to look past the well manicured public persona has ONLY elevated this particular mediocre, unremarkable white tech dude and for the first time we’re seeing that all the fawning was unmerited
This is why titles like “liberal” mean nothing to me…what’s the behavior

Elon Musk was never a liberal, and his plans for Twitter were never benevolent
Tech barons’ lip-service to democracy and pluralism was always conditional on preserving their own positions at the top
“From a democratic perspective, it’s highly problematic that tech oligarchs like Musk are amassing so much power and influence. They are not democratically controlled in any way or guided by any concern for the public good. Musk is yet another example of how short the path from a certain kind of libertarianism to the far right is, a reminder that this type of libertarianism is driven by a desire for freedom from regulation and criticism of any kind.”
“Much of the moral panic over “cancel culture” – which animated Musk to buy Twitter in the first place – is a reaction to the fact that traditionally marginalized groups gained technological means to affect the political debate.”
@KimCrayton1 Jokes on him, as that $44 billion purchase cost him $100 billion...
