 I don't get the Elon hate, he is very flawed but seems much better than nothing for now. 
 try to understand that elon is playing the role of a «successful modern engineering genius», while behind him, monopolists are creating tesla's artificial utopia of false freedom. the reality is that the roman law of slavery hasn't been abolished, it's merely been transformed into a system of credit. 
 I get it, but that take isn't 100% black and white. I don't trust him, but what % is fake is anyone's guess. Obviously, we shouldn't rely on him. 
 do you believe in free markets? 
 when is what this free market dictates sold? 
 In what way, as a saviour for communication platforms?

We don’t need him or Zuck, the protocols exist to do without them both. If other folks don’t understand by now that’s on them.

Everything is a choice. 
 Not being dependent upon someone is very different from hating on and insulting them for 'not being nostr/bitcoin enough.' 
 Ah fair enough, I don’t have hate for Elno, he’s never even been round my house.
