A lot of people believe in comforting justice narratives. The truth is there is no justice, there is only power, who has it, and how they wield it. That is what collectively drives civilization.
Like the fellow or not, outright lies like "When Musk’s plans inevitably fail" undercut any credibility this creed might have.
Tesla cars, the new Optimus thing, SpaceX, xAI...like, the dude has a track record of making things happen.
Be upset about the concentration of wealth, be upset about a misunderstanding of public policy and misalignment of values in the execution of DOGE, be upset about petty manchild antics on Twitter--but for fuck's sake, can we please stop ignoring the evidence (good and bad) in front of our own eyes?

I think I’ve read Buzz Feed articles with more integrity.
It regularly assumes he tried to do good things and failed.
Me: he got away with all of it so far
