It works like that. It's very simple to me.
Unfortunately, Nazis don't have a habit of leaving others be. As that famous saying goes about not having an interest in politics....politics ends up having an interest in you.
Oh, that doesn't mean he's not bad for society. I mean it's simple about my opinion of the guy. There's nothing he could do to make me think more about him, he's just way low in the human scale for me to even think about his ideas or views. I wouldn't listen to anything he says if I can help it, he is void to me, meat. That doesn't blind me of the influence he has on many people, nor the power he wields as a technopharaoh and a public servant.
Turning your back on a nefarious person is a great way to not see them coming.
Your point? I didn't say I would turn my back on him. On the contrary, it is now crystal clear to me who he is, therefore, I must watch him. I will ignore anything he says trying to hide the fact he is a Nazi, or even more, acting as if he is not. If you listen to Musk, you are there to be gaslighted.
Elon the celebrity. Totally agree.
However Elon the presidentally empowered technocrat does have me thinking about him.
