Which shenanigans are you referring to?

Everything Elon has done on Twitter over the past couple months. My mom is in the same situation; she was considering a Tesla but now won't be caught dead in one.
Which is what though? Like what specifically has he done? I'm genuinely curious what people are offended about.
Supporting the Russian invaders, calling for prosecution of Fauci (for what crime? And doubly ironic considering his tweets about how covid would be down to 0 cases by April 2020), tweets supporting Kanye, joking about sexually harassing his employees, spreading baseless conspiracy theories from disinfo sites like the Santa Monica Observer, etc

I'd like to think he's just being an edgelord to drive engagement on his platform, but considering he tweeted stupid stuff before he owned twitter (eg accusing his critics of being pedophiles), I have my doubts.

The past couple of months? He's been an arse for as as long as I remember.
