It is, so I left, just like I’m not reading newspapers that I don’t like the editorial decisions of.

Possibly there is also a way to run a social network uneditorialized, but Twitter clearly isn't attempting that.

Right, which is why people may prefer Bluesky, which doesn't amplify anyone's takes and lets users decide what they prefer to see.

His tweets started appearing in my feed at an absurd rate some time after he bought it, and I never followed him.

That’s like my utility company insisting I watch a message from their CEO on all devices they power every once in a while, or the owner of my car dealership calling me every once in a while unprompted to chitchat.

> People dislike Musk out of pure jealousy and try to rationalize it via other means.

I don't think this is true. Most people I hear express that they don't particularly like him, also attribute it to things that made me not like him. The rescuer story, the absurd trolling, the disparaging of specific individuals, the pretending to be for "freedom of speech" until the speech is about him.

This is a person I once thought had the desire and the means to push humanity forward. He's done so much, all of it tainted by, well, being absolutely unhinged.

Are you Elon's friend or relative? Logically, other people's opinions about him shouldn't concern you at all. Yet here you are white knighting someone who's just the CEO of a scaled text messaging app. Why do you care?

Who's talking about "getting upset"? Elon Musk has done a lot of things in his life that slot him into the "bad person, do not like, do not support" category. That's just called forming an opinion. I'm not playing darts with his photograph. I'd prefer to hear as little about or from him as possible, frankly.
