Elon Musk celebrated the December launch of the long-delayed electric Tesla Semi, gushing about its remarkable acceleration. But the EV company’s newest product is off to a slow start.
Does it matter if he says those things honestly, or cynically to stay in the news cycle? An “ironic” alt-right creep is still an alt-right creep. The response should also be the same regardless: ignore the dweeb.
Since he’s not an engineer, but a manager, what he does is what he says. When he says workers are expected to work on weekends, that he will fire half of twitter because they don’t add value or that trans people are just sick, this has a real effect on people.

People can believe whatever they want to believe about him. I’m more interested in what he does rather than what he says.

Did he say that about trans people? If so, then I’m sorry and I agree that his speech could have a detrimental effect on people.

That’s too bad. Words can hurt people and I’m surprised he doesn’t acknowledge that.
Why are you surprised? He’s not exactly known to be the most compassionate being on earth.
