If you want accountability someone needs to have root access. If you don't want accountability, you are a politician getting kickbacks through obfuscation.

That someone needs accountability themselves. Musk is not elected, his role isn’t defined. Really, he’s a patsy, he can do what he does, fortify his corporations, maybe trim some waste, have a falling out with Trump (it’s inevitable) and then trump blames him for the damage.

    That's an empty argument. I think people hate musk, if they do, for the things he does and has done. It's not the other way around. Judging people for their actions is a fair way to look at it.

      No, they hate Musk for the things he says and has said (And things he allows other people to say on his platform).

      Some people treat actions more seriously than words. Others choose to treat words more seriously than actions.

        I can’t speak for others, but for me it’s all about his actions.

        First it was destroying Twitter, which was something I rather enjoyed using.

        Then, far worse, it was pouring vast resources into getting a terrible person elected.

        Some people have read history, and know that words turn into actions over time. Especially those that feed (and feed on) fear and hatred.

    I mostly liked Musk until he decided that a vindictive, incompetent moron was the best person to run the country, and poured vast resources into ensuring that happened.

    You might say this just shows it’s because I hate Trump. To which I’d ask, do you really think my description of the guy is inaccurate?
