This is why I can't get a full read on Elon, sometimes he makes dumb decisions then he gives us gold like this.

Anyway this'll be fun as it takes a few weeks for npc updating so they're fuming trying to find a new derogatory term for normal people.

He's probably the closest thing to a "kinda reasonable" centrist with common sense and real power. Don't exactly count on him as being "on your side," but don't immediately dismiss him as your worst enemy if you majorly disagree with something (depending on the issue).

I don't think dismissing him as our worst enemy is the right approach, but it's fair to point out the limits of his approach to deshitifying Twitter when he straight up confirms that saying trannies deserve to die is still bannable. Elon is obviously better than butt boy Dorsey but the improvements are very scattershot.

They really want 'normal' itself to be derogatory, but they viscerally fear the back-splash of using such a word correctly.

It's almost like ... people have different priorities, opinions, and beliefs from each other, that lead them to act in different ways?

If you expect (your idea of) perfection from anyone (including yourself), you're going to be disappointed.

Different priorities and blatant inconsistencies are different things. Musk certainly has different priorities, but he's also inconsistent as hell.

Nah don't expect anyone to be aligned to me 100%, I'm unfortunately getting used to people being cartoonishly evil, just hurting people for the sake of inflicting pain

He claims to be a free speech absolutist while very clearly not being one. We should celebrate the wins we get but he's clearly not living up to the hopes some of the more naive people on our side had or even his own standards.

Using "cis" unironically is part of the Church of Girl Dick's liturgy. They're not going to stop using it, especially at the behest of a blasphemer like Elon. You're correct that the next few weeks will be quite fun, however.

He's a marketeer. He does what keeps him fresh in the public's mind. He cares about keeping the goodwill of the actual masses, so he says tidbits like these.
