I personally have somewhat mixed feelings. I do enjoy a good dumpster fire like any good internet denizen ( and I won't deny that there is an odd level of.. excitement maybe.. that one major social platform may go down ). I have no love for social media as some of my posts may indicate and for a variety of reasons including the amount of oxygen this creation takes and the amount of confusion it causes in general population, it would not be the worst thing ever.
That said, the sheer amount of weird emotion attached to this particular billionaire is just perplexing. Only few years ago he could do no wrong. Today, it seems, he is being ganged up on including by some of his biggest internet fans. And media oblige for whatever reason. I dislike billionaires, but I dislike them as a caste in our societies. I don't see Elon as a savior of mankind or the devil, but those emotions that swirl around him are made to make him look like one or the other.
Somehow, one is supposed to pick sides.
Trump seems to create the same emotions. It is truly fascinating.
