mad, senile and twisted world-view billionaire who has army of blind followers and wants to be world sheriff.
rants could easily overflow into shit happening on streets (see what orange idiot did couple of years ago in the state).
I think Twitter’s survival may depend on Twitter employees conspiring to convince Elon his company-destroying tweets are publicly viewable, where instead they’re really “tweeted” into a Grok generated simulacrum of Elon-sycophantic Twitter, for his eyes only.
Elon is an interesting case. In general, I think he's well intentioned, tries to think things through, and doesn't have that terrible a set of personal values and world view (all billionaires considered).
But he seems to think he can just speak before he fully thinks through his thoughts, like he's giving us the incomplete and raw thoughts as they come to him before he's even pondered them himself.
There's a bit of a lack of maturity and accepting the responsibility of his fame, his words has weight, but he doesn't caution himself with that.
And then he throws little tantrums when there's consequences, and I can understand, I'm someone with a little bit of ADHD, and I think fast, and I tend to say everything I'm thinking as I'm thinking it, and it doesn't mean that's my final well reasoned opinion, it's all brewing, I'm wondering things, and that might not be where I land. And when people take those intermediate thoughts or ideas I say out loud as a statement of my decisions or a reflection of my values, it's frustrating, and I have to explain that I'm not pushing these as an agenda, but it's just all part of my own reflection process.
Often the problem is that those unfinished thoughts you bring to others, you've not considered the real implications of what they are, the emotional impact, the intensitivity of them. And you think, no I'm not meaning those things, I'm just saying them as I explore the fill set of possibilities in a detached and unbiased way.
But you've said them, to someone else, whose now processed you saying something that might be insensitive, controversial, etc. So they get the full impact of that on them.
And even I've come to realize this isn't good for me and isn't fair to others. I need to learn to proof read my own thoughts before I bring them up to others.
Elon doesn't seem to have reached that point. He seems to think, hey, what if "something racist" is actually not just a stereotype, but has some truth beneath it and if so, maybe needs addressing? Well it's possible it's a worthy mental exercise to wonder that, as you explore all possibilities. But it's the kind of thing that someone like Elon should not tweet publicly about. Because it's obviously going to be taken as a conclusion, as an indication that Elon really thinks this is true, or that it's such a highly likely possibility it's.worth bringing the question up publicly to the world. Where in reality, he didn't mean to add any extra weight, maybe he saw it as just another equally likely possibility of many that had he thought about it for 10 more minutes would have dismissed.
