Yeah, there are literally thousands of legitimate reasons to hate Musk. Calling out former friends for their behavior… isn’t really one of them.

Instead hate him because he’s actively promoting discrimination against trans people, or because he’s eroding democracy through illegal lotteries, or because he regularly manipulates the stock market, or pushing the great replacement theory, or…

Blatant, direct hypocrisy and whitewashing of his own history isn’t a legitimate reason to hate someone who’s running a massive disinformation campaign to get a fascist elected? Your standards are weird.

It's the hypocrisy.

An example: ex-mormons can criticize current Mormons for their current beliefs. Ex-mormons can't criticize other ex-mormons for their previous briefs.

I mean, yeah it’s hypocritical, he has several sexual harassment lawsuits open against him IIRC.

That being said, in your example, it would be Mormons criticizing Mormons for their belief, not ex-Mormons criticizing ex-Mormons.

It’s never wrong to speak the truth, even if you’re on the wrong side of it.

Thank you for being probably the only person who actually read my comment and understood it

When you're not radically anti-Musk to an extent of absurdity, people just assume that you must be his sympathizer

I wholeheartedly despise this guy and I have much more valid reasons to.
