I'm not sure it's meant to make him look good or bad as much as just say "What person who Elon would agree with, who also has an idea of how to run a social media/moderation business, would agree to work for him and implement his vision."

The problem with being someone with ideas outside of the rest of your community is that you generally can't find other people with complimentary skills who agree with you.

Two bads don't make a right.
