Why do so many prominent admirable people age so poorly ? When I think of Musk now I think "silly culture-war shit-kicker". Lately when he communicates I gain no insight and actually feel dumber. Most recently:

"Kids learn that George Washington was a slave owner and nothing else."[0] -- I don't know anything about this but it sounds like total bullshit.

"Soros hates humanity."

It's even dumber in context...

"reminds me of Magneto."

We have a surplus of silly/entertaining tweets these days but a shortage of intelligent insights. I want the old Musk back, the man who used to raise the bar on discourse. What a loss.

If you have to take the George Washington quote out of context to get triggered by it, aren't you just trying to get triggered? Maybe you enjoy it? Lots of people do. Ask anyone who works in media. Even just sharing the complete sentence would show it’s a perfectly rationale statement.

The longer you're successful the easier it becomes to fool yourself into thinking you're the reason for your success.

The fact that Soros is jewish means he cannot be criticized for his actions? Is this really the world we want? If Musk were born jewish, would all the commenters here now be antisemites?
