I just realized that Elon Musk has replaced Donald Trump in the zeitgeist. I guess we always need a villain.

@leo I mean, he came over and bought the tech watercooler, declared himself king, and started tearing it down. I don't think we need a villain, we just have some egotistical volunteers.

@leo maybe we do, but in the case with Elon I feel like he has been auditioning really hard for the role recently with his actions and even chosen language. Just waiting for the petty name calling to start now, but maybe his trolling and memes are enough for him.

@leo right now the one thing he does that I like is SpaceX. I mean everytime those guys shoot something up and the booster comes right back down and lands. Boy, that gives me goosebumps always. Starlink and the light contamination for astronomers? That's another thing. 😒

@leo So much so that the "Narrated POTUS" account on twitter that did dry summations of Trumps tweets so you didn't have to follow him has now started a "Narrated CEO" account to do the same for Musk.

@leo Yes it's sad to see how many people become so invested in the drama, not knowing that by engaging with Musk and by being so against him, they are elevating him and helping him. He can use that to paint himself as this speaker of inconvenient truths. That's how Trump also his power at the end. The energy against these people actually helps them much more than any support would

@leo Or villains emerge on their own when the opportunity presents itself. Musk does seem to revel in provoking people and basks in the adoration of his supporters. He doesn't seem concerned with selling Telas anymore, just alienating his original matketbase for the LOLs, likes, and retweets.
