Yeah just tons of emotional responses. People struggling to cope with the new reality and trying to logically fit it into a world where they are right. People get cracked out in a hopium bender and come out of it days or weeks later in a daze. Just an embarrassing thing to have watched.

I will admit to this. I was so angry at how Musk treated his employees, and I took them at face value when they predicted outages. I still think that we will see outages in the coming weeks and months, but probably not in spectacular fashion.
A lot of Musk’s fans get emotional about this too. I remember people gloating when they rolled out the new Twitter Blue, saying that Elon got more done in a couple weeks than Twitter had gotten done in years beforehand. And then they shut it off, and now they’re delaying the relaunch. People were praising Musk’s “moderation council” concept, and then he promptly abandoned it to make these decisions by fiat (and in one case, a poll).
