Why is that amazing? When people do what you think is right, or what you think might be right, you agree with them or willing to see where things go. When people do what you think is wrong you disagree or break with them. That seems perfectly reasonable.

PG mocked those who thought we would end up here.

PG confuses me. Sometimes he seems extremely rational but other times he tweets obvious fallacies.
I think that spells 'human'.
Weird, I thought it spell 'incongruence'.
Where is "here" exactly?
Every promise Musk made about Twitter broken in less than two months?
And the demolition of Elon's image as a tech/business genius. If I'd set out to wreck his reputation, I could not have done half the job Musk has done since he bid for Twitter.
The big question now is how much damage can he do? To the world, not just Twitter.
If he wanted to? The man has his own ICBMs and a fleet of land-based remote control bombs in Tesla, not to mention access to all archived DMs on Twitter. There's no way he pulls anything off, because we don't live in a comic book, but it's worrisome to realize that such an "eccentric" visibly has that kind of access.
I'm not sure what the damage is supposed to be, in apart from to Musk and co-investors. There are enough alternatives, including Mastodon - that people will still be able to share short form content if Twitter disintegrates.
