I might be jealous of him getting to make rockets and electric cars.
I'm not jealous of him acting like an ass as in that "pedo guy" and numerous other incidents.
I'm certainly not jealous of him buying Twitter. It makes me think of the time I drank too much at a party, acted like an ass, and got banned from my brother-in-law's house. It makes me think of other stupid things I did that I won't disclose to protect my reputation.
I'm not perfect but when people have pushed back on me I've changed my behavior. I certainly not jealous for Musk's inability to do that, which endangers the success that he's had so far.
The 'peso guy' is just one of a long line of completely avoidable lawsuits. Deliberately offending to the point of drawing legal fire, attacking the weak or vulnerable, is not a good look.
Mostly a fan of Musk but his Twitter obsession and the narcissistic behaviors Twitter encourages have taken him down a couple of notches for me personally. It is one thing to cultivate a certain persona to achieve a goal but it is quite a bit different when you actually start to believe your own BS. I believe he has crossed that line. If Twitter disappeared tomorrow free speech would continue to exist - people would use another service to spread misinformation, sell pimple cream or whatever.
He is not Tony Stark and we (humans on planet earth) don't really need one. Time he caught a self driving Tesla back to Reality Ville.
I'm curious about your use of the term irrational, what is your worldview here. I guess I would imagine your world view to be that it's business so anything goes, and people shouldn't be emotionally attached, and that emotional attachment to a job or a community like twitter (the job or the product) is irrational?
Or is it that it isn't something you would get angry about and this is your subjective opinion, not that you try to put yourself in someone elses shoes and don't see the reason.
Because I don't see the anger as irrational, I could maybe see discussing wether or not it is _excessive_(which would be pretty subjective) but it seems plenty of people have rational reasons to be angry (if one can attribute 'ration' to emotion, which if not it would render the whole argument moot)
Agree 10,000%, Musk was loved and adored by the tech crowd, he even did a spot on the left leaning Big Bang Theory (a show I really enjoyed though I'm conservative in nature).

And why is there a new Twitter story every two minutes? It's driving me nuts. I feel like no one has anything better to do.
