Is this a statement on behalf of Sentry.io? I see the company mentioned in this very weird and seemingly pro-fascist blog post, the author works there, and no disclaimer.

I am not inclined to do business with this firm based on this very off-putting statement.

> 1. Many accept Musk’s rise to power as good news.

Do they though? Also, many accepted the rise of [insert genocidal despot whose politics you disagree with] too.

> 2. I don’t see this change being forcibly reverted. The noise from those who don’t accept Musk will likely subside to a manageable simmer relatively soon.

I think you may underestimate just how hot it’s going to get in here.

> 3. Unlike Rome, this transition happened without an overt war, which is good.

So far… bloodless coups are only bloodless in retrospect.

> 4. Elon seems to me likely to succeed in making the U.S. more efficient and effective, based on his success with Twitter and his other companies.

What success with Twitter? While we’re at it, how are Boring Company, Hyperloop, the flamethrowers, and Musk Vodka doing?

> 5. Elon is likely to use his new power primarily to pursue his interplantary agenda.

I’m sorry, is this a positive or a negative? In either case it’s not going to work.

> 6. In empires, succession is often inefficient. Clearly Musk has positioned himself to succeed (preempt?) Trump. Who succeeds Musk? According to what process?

I’m putting my sword in for Trial By Combat, no champions edition.

> 7. It hasn’t happened yet, but Elon indicated he would return Twitter to a public company after reorganizing it as X. Is there a world in which he returns the U.S. to a republic once he has run his course?

No.

> This is a salient time to worship a deity other than Caesar.

I think it’s the perfect time to realize that worshipping anything or anyone is bad for you.
