I haven't lost faith in him yet. We can't forget all he's done for Bitcoin; I hope he doesn't become an adversary now.
He's so frustrating. He will do something I admire, like the Taibbi opening of the twitter files. Then he'll turn around and ban/shadow ban accounts he doesn't like.

Honey badger don't care. Musk is the honey badger. He does and says what he wants to, because he doesn't need to care what anyone thinks of him. Good for him.

My interest lies primarily in his actions regarding bitcoin, rather than his dealings with X.

No one is perfect. And I can't speak to Musk's overall character or intentions. But what other high profile billionaire is out there willing to talk openly against censorship and media manipulation as he is? For all his faults, I appreciate that he is calling attention to the bullshit permeating American media. I think that's a big part of why many people like him. Same thing with Trump. They're not perfect, but at least they're willing to go against the conventional narrative.

agree, let's not let perfect be the enemy of the good
We have real enemies not named Elon Musk

I didn't agree with everything he did, and the positives are debatable, but he did get something done. It wasn't all bad, was it?

You are back peddling. Its not all bad no, I didn't say that. Your comment just caught me off guard. I don't agree with Saylor on MANY things but by comparison he's done something for bitcoin. Exposed people like Elon to it. Elon did damage. I know people that were starting to understand bitcoin and get off shitcoins. Elon got them to buy Doge and sell bitcoin. He behaves like a conman many times. He spreads incorrect info about bitcoin. He gets a lot of attention. He could do good but IMO he hasn't done good for bitcoin up to this point. I hope that changes.
Don't get me started on his plans for Twitter.
