On a completely different topic, on this day when Twitter is self-owning so epically, it seems like a good opportunity to answer the people wondering what I think of Elon Musk these days.
Well, he's close to the biggest damn disappointment on the planet.
That's what.
(Although I do rather like the rockets, so if he could refrain from screwing up SpaceX until he gets the chance to also be close to the biggest damn disappointment *off* the planet, that'd be swell.)
Actually, somewhat before then (moving off Twitter was mostly induced by the platform's increasing garbage-fire nature).
Even that was probably holding on too long, but when the brain eater gets someone, you can't help but hope they'll fight it off, y'know? Despite how rarely that happens.
@cerebrate yup, been there. Lost a dear friend to proto-Qanon a while back and it took years to accept that there was no talking them out of it.
@cerebrate I figured you had come to that conclusion around the point when you moved off Twitter, and I also figured it would be a jerk move to ask just to make a point of it. We've all put our hopes in the wrong person at one time or another.
