    The thing that most stands out to me about Musk and his ilk isn’t their hate - it’s their cowardice.

    If they would actually own their hate, I’d have some bare modicum of respect for them. At least then it would be a principled stance. A loathsome one to be sure, but at least principled.

    But they’re too cowardly and weak-willed for that. They’re all telling it like it is and going their own way and fuck your feelings right up until someone calls them out on it, then they instantly turn into weepy schoolgirls moaning about how picked on and persecuted they are.

      It’s because, truthfully, they have no other stance except those that either make them money or headlines.

      They’ll have whatever fuck principles and stances that will give them either more money or more acknowledgement for their egos.
