Personally I don't give a shit about Musk. I don't care about any celebrities but I try to not hate any of them because that's way too much attention I'm giving to someone who is so insignificant to me. I'm just always aware of them from being on these social media sites because there's always a legion of fans and haters. Maybe I'm really just complaining about social media and wish we were in the time of MySpace. Things were simple then and the internet was wild and untamed.
I mean you give enough of a shit to comment twice so 🤷♂️
I don't think a multibillionaire is just a celebrity. The companies he owns and the power he has there aside, he also controls many politicians through lobbying deals.
I feel you on missing the days of the old web so I think you should know it's tech billionaires like musk who have destroyed it. Whether through their direct control over platforms like Twitter or by how they have regulated the web through lobbying of our politicians.
