you mean the same rhetoric I observe whenever the wrong entity wins an election anywhere in the West? have we not accepted for a fact that most people are so uncritical of the media they consume that a thousand Russian Internet Defense Force operatives can topple a Western democracy over Xitter and TikTok?

I never said he was a good man before then, or that he is a good man now.

I wish I could be as intelligent and free thinking as you. Sadly I’m a sheep, but it’s so inspiring to see someone like you, to show us sheep what’s possible if you truly free your mind.

somebody should look into who owns the @elonmusk account that originates these stories...
>pre-2018, he was a journalists' sweetheart. they were singing him praises and they didn't bring up attention to his misdeeds
>at some point around that time, he had pissed them off with the "who owns the media?" tweet, and they did a 180 degree turn. he didn't suddenly become eccentric then, his eccentricity started to get extensive negative attention. there's a plethora of media sweethearts who get away with far worse things without a peep from checkmarked firebrands
>in other words, you've changed your mind on cue, and you never had an independent opinion to begin with
