No, it looks like you just want to understand, but don't. I think the vitriol you'd get us because ppl assume either:

how can you not understand or
understanding is irrelevant, you don't need to understand cancer to know it's pathological and bad. I fall into this camp.

I think most don't want to understand him, they want him gone. Threat assessment. I can relate; he needs to get got.

If "see a threat, take it down" were official policy, a friend of mine who is in a psych hospital at this moment probably would have been shot in the streets rather than taken into custody. It's really just a matter of scale. AND I'M NOT SAYING MUSK IS RIGHT - but feel free to pretend I'm "on his side" and therefore evil, and douchevote my comment like a good clean-thought vigilante!

I'd be willing to be your friend is not a Lex Luthor-esque billionaire with plans for world domination. Sorry but cannot countenance equivocation with respect to Musk, there are scarcely comparable human beings with his malice and ability to project ill will.

Edited to add: I didn't actually downvote you, nor suggest you were taking his side in my reply. What I did to was take the time to engage, and suggest you came off as not understanding the threat Musk posed vs "taking his side". Feeling a bit like you are working overtime for the persecution angle here.
