Your definition of "distasteful, but that's about it" is likely substantially understated from just about everyone else in the world.

Social media isn't most of the world.

I don't like it. But I also don't like most of social media. Musk faced no consequences for his paedo comments. He is facing consequences for his partisan activism. That's the difference between being a public and political figure.

Not sure why you think this implication applies to my comment. If he yelled the comments in a public square, my comment would be the same.

As would mine. It's distasteful. But it brought and brings no consequences. Categorically distinct from his partisan activism.

Our definition of "no consequences" is very different, apparently. Have a good one.
