Rocket man is bad. Are you implying he isn't? Two things can be bad at once.

[–] locuester@lemmy.zip -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bad at what. I’m not quick to be so black and white in a gray world, and at the same time I don’t really care one way or the other. But it’s annoying to constantly hear complaints about things related to him when everyone else does the same shit.

He's a billionaire, he's a conservative, and he's spouted falsehoods about covid.

I disliked him when he was less rich and more liberal after he called that dude a pedo because he didn't like Musk's idea for saving those trapped kids. He's a child.

Yeah the pedo comment was nasty. He was just spouting off because he got his feelings hurt, I can relate to that. He is human and followed up with an apology.

I have made the mistaken assumption – and I will attempt to be better at this – of thinking that because somebody is on Twitter and is attacking me that it is open season. That is my mistake. I will correct it.

I have no clue the story with spreading covid lies. So much covid info was and still is very unknown. I’ve seen unintentional lies spread from big names on both sides on that.

I’m not saying the man is a saint, but hot damn I’d personally go after any politician for being a shitty human before I went after Elon.
