This is the problem in my view with people that use social media to post everything too much, who overshare.

Elon could have been this guy that was doing cool stuff, super smart and doing some good stuff for the world, but now must people think he is a jerk.

People that get known for there work, it's not really a good look for them to wade into politics or conterversal topics they have no expertise or right to start talking about.

Ahh but it gets attention and that is addictive.

This sub thread is a joke in of itself: reading on things people are so eagerly offended by.

Has no one thought that "following" Elon on Twiiter shouldn't be automagically assumed to be his fans or uniformly align with his ethos?

> now most people think he is a jerk

Do they? I don’t. I also know many people with many differing views and they don’t either. This looks again like you are projecting you opinion on the majority of people with no data to support it.

I’m assuming you thought you were responding to me here, but that is someone else.

The average person on the street seems to think so, I don't for the record.

Same here.

I just did a quick survey of his tweets going back to roughly February 24th.

7 Meme

1 Twitter Ad

11 American Culture War/Politics

1 Spacex

8 Starlink/Spacex Retweets

2 Tesla Retweet

2 AI Hot Take

3 Irrelevant

This is a real bad noise-to-signal ratio for me.

Everything I'm interested I can get from company accounts (SpaceX/Tesla) and/or third party reporting.

As a consequence I decided to keep him blocked since otherwise his "algorithmically enhanced Ego" has a tendency of finding its way back into my perception.

It gets worse if you look at his replies. About 50% of them are just "cry-laugh emoji", but the interesting ones are who gets a "looking into it".
