    This article is far too positive.

    It regularly assumes he tried to do good things and failed.

    This is what passes as publishable journalism these days? It would fail a 101 class. What a sad state of affairs.

    Regardless of opinion on Musk, normalizing whining does nothing for anyone.

    A lot of people believe in comforting justice narratives. The truth is there is no justice, there is only power, who has it, and how they wield it. That is what collectively drives civilization.

      > That is what collectively drives civilization.

      That is a narrative which seeks to deny the power of society and thus undermine public resistance.

    I think I’ve read Buzz Feed articles with more integrity.

    Like the fellow or not, outright lies like "When Musk’s plans inevitably fail" undercut any credibility this creed might have.

    Tesla cars, the new Optimus thing, SpaceX, xAI...like, the dude has a track record of making things happen.

    Be upset about the concentration of wealth, be upset about a misunderstanding of public policy and misalignment of values in the execution of DOGE, be upset about petty manchild antics on Twitter--but for fuck's sake, can we please stop ignoring the evidence (good and bad) in front of our own eyes?

        It becomes a "syndrome" when your dislike takes up.your attention, emotions and character and all logical thought about the topic is replaced by emotion filled rhetoric.

          This is exactly the case. If I don't like someone, I think about them as little as possible. Elon doesn't care if people whine about him, so you don't gain anything from fixating on it.
