Its all about political correctness. Elon Musk literally said the p*** word for someone and everyone took it jokingly (even the local court judge!). RMS, on the other hand, just shares his controversial opinion and everyone is suddenly pitchforks.
I don’t think everybody took it as a joke. Elon Musk is a shit human, the scion of a wealthy Apartheid family who left SA pretty much as soon as Apartheid ended. He is filth, but he’s rich filth, and a lot neoliberals make excuses for him.
I want to understand how Musk calling someone a pedo (on record) is any better on an ethical scale than RMS stating his controversial opinion about a case? You can’t give an absolute clean chit to one guy and just cancel out the other.
To be specific here, RMS was more of a victim of cancel culture than political correctness, so you’re right. Any attempts to absolve or defend Musk while trying to trash RMS can only come from the corporate IT world which directly benefits from RMS getting trashed.
