This is a real bad noise-to-signal ratio for me.
Everything I'm interested in I can get from company accounts (SpaceX/Tesla) and/or third party reporting.
As a consequence, I decided to keep him blocked since otherwise his "algorithmically enhanced Ego" has a tendency of finding its way back into my perception.
This is the problem in my view with people that use social media to post everything too much, who overshare.
Elon could have been this guy that was doing cool stuff, super smart and doing some good stuff for the world, but now most people think he is a jerk.
People that get known for their work, it's not really a good look for them to wade into politics or controversial topics they have no expertise or right to start talking about.
Do they? I don’t. I also know many people with many differing views and they don’t either. This looks again like you are projecting you opinion on the majority of people with no data to support it.
I had a lot of admiration for him until he became more public - now, I think he is a cruel person who’s politics do not align one bit with me.
