I'm not sure why Paul thinks some of us aren't able to simultaneously hold the thoughts in our head that the Tesla corporation has done a lot to advance solar and EV technology with consumers AND know that Elon Musk is personally a pretty terrible person.

I have it on good authority that he's NOT the Antichrist.

Here's my take on this. I'm big into solar and EVs. Musk deserves a lot of credit for creating Tesla and hiring good engineers. Their cars are innovative and some of the technology is groundbreaking.
Musk did not create or found Tesla.
Tesla was founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in July, 2003. Tesla then received Series A funding from Musk (among several others) in 2004. Musk subsequently led several more rounds of financing.
Okay, Musk had control of it by 2005. If you think that his involvement was not integral to the engineering success of the company, regardless of his many other faults, then you are just being petty and trying to force a narrative. There are a lot of people posting opinions about EVs in general on this thread who seem to be afraid of progress, and certainly don't own EVs or follow the engineering.
I didn't say Musk was not integral to the growth of Tesla. All I said is that he did not start the company. He calls himself a "founder" because he's allowed to through a lawsuit settlement, but it's not true.
I'm not sure why Paul thinks some of us aren't able to simultaneously hold the thoughts in our head that the Tesla corporation has done a lot to advance solar and EV technology with consumers AND know that Elon Musk is personally a pretty terrible person.
Because it hasn't been said yet. And by the way, I'm not defending Elon's personality. I'm not sure what he's like on a personal level, and I don't care. It's his impact on humanity that I care about.
Whatever one says about Elon and labor, you can't deny that he is proudly "not woke".
"Woke" as defined by Ron DeSantis's counsel the other day - "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them."

Elon "trolling" his critics on the Twitter with a little "Pepe the Frog" meme. I didn't know what it was supposed to be, either, but looked at the replies to find out.

I doubt the NY Times staff that attacked Bari Weiss would object to their description as "woke". But my point was, that "wokeness" doesn't usually apply to defending the rights of Palestinian students in the US, which is what Bari Weiss opposed at Columbia (and many Palestinian activists opposed her hiring by the NYT for that reason).
In the case at hand, are many complaints of suspended Twitter accounts of Palestinian activists -- by the "woke" staff and Ali Abunimah is questioning whether Bari Weiss, given her history, is going to defend them.
Edited to add: Pres Obama's definition of "wokeness" is as good as you'll get.

I would take the time to respond, but I’m way past my “responding to dishonest bullshite” quota right now. Maybe later or tomorrow.
