i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

Elon Musk is really stupid socially and say and do a lot of shit but he’s very capable technically and contribute in his role at SpaceX and Tesla?
I’m not in any political or religious communities, but I’m in a lot of technical communities and this seems to be as controversial as you can get. It’s a topic people seem to have 100% set opinions on, are not open for any change, and really dislike people with the other opinion.
It’s not local to the Fediverse though but seems to be the state of Internet in general.
I have yet to see what technical brilliance he has beyond the ability to spend the interest gained on his billions of dollars.
He certainly doesn’t seem very good at spending them, everything around the whole Twitter purchase is just handled so staggering poorly.
For technical abilities, I’m just watching interviews where the way he presents and give answers around SpaceX and Tesla is far beyond what any smooth talking business man could normally manage. He’ll take very technical questions about specific rocket propulsion parts and can reason about them and answer.
Smart people that have worked with him also agree that he has great, technical capacity: https://erik-engheim.medium.com/is-elon-musk-just-a-sales-guy-9d3eb7a1b49c
He’s clearly very often an unlikable person and he says something stupid / childish etc in almost every interview, so I don’t have any problem with people that makes up their mind about him from that alone. On a human level it does usually overshadow any better qualities.
