It seems like the guy banked a lot of positive social credit with online geek community over the years, including with a lot of people here, and he still hasn't burnt it all away yet with his Twitter behavior. So people want to give him the benefit of the doubt and not believe he's the insane brainwashed liberal that he is.
Yeah he was really bad on twitter with some really authoritarian and malicious takes. He has said on a video that he has taken a step back from social media as it brought out the worst in him... but it was a mask off moment.
Linus was pro vaccine mandate and anti freedom convoy, he was pretty nasty about it on Twitter.

Yeah somebody else had to point the Twitter thing out to me. I've never seen any Linus tweets.
Oh, never seen him on Twitter. People do tend to be nasty there. The algo and everything encourages it. It's one reason I don't go there much.
