    It’s complicated. Some definite goods things like mostly freeing Twitter. We will probably come with the pitchforks for him at some point if he doesn’t behave.

    Yup the Twitter files opened up the eyes to a lot of the corruption the feds were forcing on Dorsey et al

    No one really cares about that.
    It’s that everything was actually straight up silenced on every platform. And the left got powerful enough to force businesses to fall in line.

    I'm against EV subsidies and always have been. But they bought Twitter lol

    Space X is the future. Doge is good

    You should let it play out

    Vivek got benched when he pissed us off. No one gets a free pass

    It was hilarious during the inauguration when Trump mentioned exploration, Mars and the camera zoomed in on Elon smiling giving both thumbs up, he was most definitely enjoying his free pub and genuinely happy.

    I was pretty moved during his speech yesterday, feeling extremely patriotic or much more than I remember in years which wasn’t something I expected.

    Mixed bag. Mostly because he seems like a weirdo to me. Maybe genius at that level just makes you weird.

    X has been detailed here. I of course like what he did there.

    Biggest thing for me is the sheer audacity of Musk. It's remarkable. Taking any feeling out of either, the fact that he reimagined and reordered the world in not one, but TWO major areas is history book shit. He completely redefined and essentially built the EV market AND a good bit of infrastructure to support it (with gov assist of course). For most people that would be enough for 4 lifetimes and a history book Henry Ford type moment. As an encore he then decided to privatize space and has been wildly successful there. Think of the audacity of that. "I will build a private company to challenge NASA!" And then actually do it. Remarkable.

    Still a weirdo though. But a fucking legend level weirdo to be sure.
