Is musk now political?

[rocky_warrior]

This is a tricky one for me. 

Several businesses that the US now relies upon.  Also very obviously (recently?) political.

I don't think asking for Twitter alternatives is particularly political (though there may be some political motivation).  Though I do think those pimping Twitter advertisers are politically motivated. 

How does a person attempting to be well reasoned deal with this?

(I've pointed out elsewhere, I've been a Twitter hater since it's inception)

Everything is political now. Eat Arby's.

And despite my recent no-tolerance policy, I'm not trying to trap people.  All votes and reasonable responses accepted.

I think it depends on context

Grr.  I should ban you for allowing for a gray area.

[Apolitical Warrior]

I just think allowing voting on a free (socialism??) messaging board is a touch too political for me

Care to explain this?

Replace it with the Israeli flag

I can't see the Trump/Musk relationship lasting very long.  Those are two pretty big egos that are going to butt heads at some point.

Heck, even Real Chili is political!

I've been threatened with the ban hammer (and worse) for my view that RC is crap in a bowl. If we can't civilly disagree on Real Chili, Elon Musk is going boil Scoopers' blood!

I stand with you on Real Chili.

I've always loved Real Chili ... but then again, I've never had it sober. Maybe on the next visit!

Could I be the only MU alum and almost 8-year resident of Milwaukee that never set foot in Real Chili?

I'm really shocked that you went public with this. You deserve all the ridicule that will soon follow.

I needed to get that off my chest. Been weighing me down for years and I feel much better now.

I heard he voted for Gold as the new mascot.

Back to Rocky's original question...

I think it would be fine if he was just a guy with government contracts hanging out with politicians.  The whole being in charge of cutting the government spending at the same time, however, makes those organizations pretty political now.
