Who cares what some people want to see? All that matters is what they can actually help to make happen. And Elon being "destroyed" is only gonna happen through his own actions. He's his own worst enemy, and yes, buying Twitter and all of his subsequent actions with it were a huge mistake, a big unforced error. He's turned a lot of people against him, and for what. Hell, I'm very enthusiastic about space travel and yet he's even turned me against him somewhat, as I absolutely hate the waves of layoffs across tech his actions have precipitated. Him and Zuck basically gave everyone else "permission" too, and us tech workers have suffered severely for it.

For saving discourse on the internet. You don’t have to agree with his positions but there is no denying he has brought back the ability to discuss sensitive topics without a throng of zealots having their reports result in quick censoring.
It’s like you all forgot we just spent three years calling anyone who disagreed on an untested therapeutic that doesn’t even work a racist.

None of that is remotely reflective of reality.

What do you mean? Alex Berenson was kicked off of twitter in the summer of 2021 because of factually correct tweets about covid [1].

Please be more specific because I have no idea what you're referring to.

That's sort of shooting the messenger. Tech was overvalued for a long time. A lot of make-work.

You’re blaming Musk for a wave of layoffs in the tech industry? That he gave permission to other companies to do it? Are you saying the layoffs made good business sense but somehow these companies were prevented from doing so? What was preventing them? Was that factor “correct” or “healthy”?

The wave of layoffs in tech had started before his layoffs at Twitter. By the time the Twitter layoffs started people here were already talking about how tech companies in general were about to have large waves of layoffs.
