The above poster didn't elaborate when he mentioned, "Living rent free". If we are going to have a discourse on the topic, I think it deserves more depth.

He's a complicated figure. I'm not a fan of all of his ideas, nor do I consider him some kind of right-wing free speech savior. He's like anyone else in that there's some hit and miss. I do find it disturbing how quickly the predominantly left-leaning tech sphere turned on him. This coincided with politically driven media talking points.

A few short years ago he was celebrated for his association with green energy. He was even celebrated by the globalists at the WEF. For this and other reasons, I suspect his promotion to be something of a false alternative. Idolizing him seems a bit naive. The demonizations I regularly read on this site are often poorly reasoned or Godwinian hyperbole.

can you provide an example of the 'politically driven media talking points' that unfairly stained poor Elon's otherwise sterling reputation with the green, ah, globalists?
is... is "globalist" a code word?

In short, it is the philosophy espoused by the WEF, The Club of Rome and some UN institutions.

For all of Twitter's faults, I never interact with someone making these toxic insinuations on that platform.
