Who fucking cares. Stop talking about musk and he will likely go away
Hell no. Musk is, extremely publicly, disproving every myth about billionaires. He's telling you what he is, he's showing you what he is. And this is "best businessman, super genius, futurist poster boy for billionaires Musk"
You don't have to like the situation or the coverage, and you certainly don't have to like him.
But you need to watch. We all need to watch. We need to sear this in, so next time someone buys the legend crafted by a billionaire.
When people praise Musk or talk about trickle down economics, you need to be honestly shocked. You need to be able to rattle off the stupid and evil decisions that describe his life, and be able to explain how he's never built a company or designed anything, how the only useful contribution he's made to anything is hyping things so far he's being sued for outright fraud
Give him the attention - a lot of programmers have long known he's a poser, but most of us didn't make a big deal about it because he was getting people excited for important technology. It was for the common good.
And now, watching him is the common good - let him bask in infamy all he likes, this protracted midlife crisis is possibly the most philanthropic thing he's ever done
