This is a good piece that's worth reading beyond just the actual (deliberately provocative) subject line. His point about the "real Elon" and "Evil Elon" is interesting. I'm not sure I agree with his conclusion that people would just get sick of Elon if he crosses a line, and I think he's underestimating Twitter's power (not that many people using it doesn't take into account that certain things from it get amplified everywhere). But it's an optimistic view (the notion that people really aren't suckers), and better than the other alternative he mentions, the idea that only other oligarchs could provide any sort of check.
