Wiki - The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually ceased or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.

    they don’t ask what those humans actually need to become friends.

    The thing is, the answer to this question may be “nothing”. Plenty of people with a lot of money and plentiful food are unrepentant bigots. Musk is unimaginably rich and still a transphobe. The rumor is that it’s because Grimes started dating someone trans after breaking it off with him.

    What would we need to give him for him to spread his wealth around and become an advocate for trans rights?

    Your ideal is admirable. And certainly, we should offer redemption and encourage people to change. But that should not come at the expense of the wronged nor vulnerable.

      ‘Officially’ Musk is afraid that civilization will collapse and he wants a second ‘home’. What good is his wealth if he lives in fear?

      Like most, he wants to feel safe. Look in his past to figure out why he can’t.

      The rumors that I heard was that his child is trans and that’s the cause for him buying and changing Twitter.

      If he is transphobe to protect his child then you have to reach him there.
