Short, brutal commentary on Musk's latest blathering about war and Fallout

Maybe it's my wistful optimism, but there does seem to be a trend in people wising up about this billionaire putz...



The cool kids nowadays insist they never felt that way, but peering back into the mists of the 2000s, there was definitely an era when Elon Musk seemed like a pretty inspiring guy.

Sure, he made his initial stack of money doing conventional software startup stuff. But then instead of doing more software stuff, like most tech dudes, he used that money to build SpaceX (which has built some legitimately impressive rockets) and Tesla (which has built some fairly impressive cars.)

Nowadays, though, he mainly seems to make headlines for his bizarre business decisions at those previously impressive companies, firing workers because of those bad decisions, and posting incredibly cringe stuff on Twitter (which he bought, ruined, and inexplicably renamed X.)

And that brings us to one of Musk's most irritating — yet somehow illuminating — tweets to date.
