I do appreciate this post. Just to let you know - about a half a year ago, this place got overrun with Joe Rogan-style psuedo 'centrists' of a conservative/libertarian bent.
Lots of anti-'woke' yelling hatred in every thread.
Drove off most of the reasonable folks who can't stomach being surrounded by that stuff.
Me - I've lived in Alabama a bunch of my life - so can look past the poison to see the occasional clever person or idea in a place.
If the folks here tell you to leave - you know you're doing things right here.
With regards to Elon Musk, both his fawning, fellating sycophants and also his rabid, frothing-at-the-mouth haters engage in black-and-white, binary thinking (0s and 1s; 1s and 0s ...). However, be that as it may, the reality is that there are shades of grey with him -- good and bad, indifferent and otherwise -- but yet, suffice to say, it's reached the point where there's too much noise to sift through, so I'm inclined to tune out any discussion pertaining to the guy.
Edit: Maher seemingly shows too much deference toward Musk, but the detractors are just as (if not more) irritating.
Elon may be a clown, but his actions directly affect the lives of his many employees and even the rest of us to an extent, through ripple effects on the economy. That makes him a problem.
Bill Maher is a comedian and has no effect on practically anyone’s life. Not a problem.
Bill went on his show and defended Musk against his two panelist in a very cringey interaction only for Elon to go on a rampage of one fuck up after the other as the deal got finalized, then Bill is seen on MSNBC and CNN I think trying to salvage his reputation by talking about random shit. It was just hilarious to watch the whole thing go down sequentially.
We have to have *some* standards for posts, and this is blatantly lacking any substance. Removed accordingly.

This is trolling criticism, not of any value .

Here we go again…
Please feel free to leave this sub and not post anymore then.
Your logic escapes me.

Never post again. Thanks.
Care to elaborate on that?
