Often i think about what cool things one could do with the Money Musk has, the reach he has...the good one could do with all that.
And then we come to the reality where Musk gives a huge Platform to literal nazis, hate and bigotry.

I can see a show like Saturday Night Live doing something like that. (If they ever made fun of Musk.)
