It's crazy that this post needs to be written but it does. Elon derangement is spreading in a way I've never seen before. It almost always backfires.

People who call Elon an idiot, or a huckster, or incompetent, etc. etc. are just coping -- and encouraging a dangerous complacency. 

This is the most competent opponent you have ever faced.

The question becomes, what are the principles of those who are outraged by the efforts of someone like Elon? It appears that those who embraced cancel culture, and the destruction of traditional norms like merit and respect aren’t really handling reality well , and never really have. There is a mental health crisis.

politics

Ah that explains the unhinged posts I've been seeing in /politics that are mad about government employees being asked to say what they did last week as if no one should be asked to explain what they actually do to get paid

there's layers to this.
The "circumventing red tape" is a privilege enjoyed by a white billionaire but not the lower-middle class whose jobs are being cut.
Also very sick to blindly support the richest person remaking the world in their oligarch vision
