What makes Elon Musk tick? I spent months following the same people as him (theguardian.com)

His COVID denialism is one of the things that really got to me.

This post in r/nursing came up in my feed yesterday and reminded me of "truth seeker" Musk and how wrong he can get it sometimes. [0]

Another inconvenient fact I posted here previously is that the leading cause of death in 2021 for US law enforcement officers was... COVID. [1]

I liked the clarity of this write up. Musk says things he doesn't actually think, like valuing "debate" but rejecting commentary which undermines his own lines of Reasoning.

Cynicism aside ("following" Tesla spruiker accounts) he also appears to like random tech/gizmo stuff. He could be on HN and read half the feed.
