    Yes we know who Musk is… and it is a very mixed bag. Some where around the time he became the world’s richest person I feel like something changed and he went over the top or over the edge. Not sure which.

      It was the kids in the flooded cave incident where “his invention” was deemed unusable for the rescue and he called the scuba diver that helped get the kids out a pedo. That was the big turning point for me at least. That and him making a bunch of CPAP/BIPAPS during COVID when what we needed was ventilators at the time. He’s an idiot that is running on the fumes of his fans.

        Man that scuba diver incident was also the turning point for me. Before that I actually thought he was involved in a lot of cool stuff and probably a positive influence but I also didn’t pay all that much attention to him.

    Why does this feel lie a viral marketing campaign to get people to watch stuff on X?

    “I interviewed Elon, got cancelled and he mad. Watch on X”. It just doesn’t add up to me.

    Edit: It’s not on X, apparently. It’s on YouTube. So I was probably a little out on this. Very clever viral marketing still, but hopefully not to the benefit of X.

      The Twitter deal got canceled, so the interview was posted to YouTube instead. Which, honestly, is the better service for long form video.
