He's so shitty I don't even know where to start, but so many people on there are convinced he's some kind of heroic anti-corruption reformer and taking on the CIA and shit.

I'm starting to sour on the platform over it, I was enjoying talking politics on there but now my feed is flooded with Musk worship 🤮

My (shallow) observation is that it's a mix of "wow, cool rocket" tech brain and a kind of technocratic belief that scientists/engineers/entrepreneurs are not just smart but wise. Do you have thoughts on my assessment?
