    Alternative take, this is all staged to keep you entertained while other stuff are going on.

    Even the whole Elon leaving, then feuding live on twitter is so closed to wrestling and people are so entertained (me included tbh) rather than questioning or fighting.

      Or they are just a bunch of stupid people and they do what stupid people do

      Occam’s Razor, also known as the principle of parsimony, suggests that the simplest explanation, with the fewest assumptions, is usually the most accurate.

      I don’t think so. The people who enjoy the fight are precisely the ones who despise them for what they did -and still do- in a political level.

        And those exact people are now a little calmer because stuff is less shitty suddenly, they were right it won’t last and a plethora other reasons.

        A dangerous position to find yourself in while the people are still in power.

        Might be true, might be just a red herring.

        A bit of column A, a bit of column B.

        This is their whole shtick: constantly manufacturing more outrage and “engagement”. Yes, the personal grievances, egomania and narcissism are real. But it’s just what they do. Throwing shit at the wall, and if something sticks, decide what to do with it. It’s not acting per se but it has method. Very simple, very primitive, only half-coscious method, but a method it is.

        And surely meanwhile somebody behind them is using the opportunity to actively dismantle US democracy - more focused, but essentially still using the same “method”.

        Seriously, the two biggest man babies on the planet had a disagreement and are having pissing match on the internet. Is that hard to believe? I don’t get the people pushing this “THIS IS ACTING” crap either. Elon FOR SURE couldn’t.

        There’s no nefarious shit to distract you from because there’s too much nefarious shit for you to keep track of WITHOUT the arguments.
