This is a great read, it's honestly quite astonishing how fragile Musk is, from buying a website to tell him he was funny to this venture. This kind of flailing, wild reaction to perceived criticism/reality seems common among those who seem to have radicalized themselves during COVID especially.
I wrote about all this and how Wikipedia is getting squeezed by the AI industry generally if you’re interested www.nytimes.com/2025/10/27/t...

"Why are young women increasingly left-wing?"
There's been a lot of focus on young men + the right but less on this much bigger political shift amongst young women.
