Why do so many prominent admirable people age so poorly ? When I think of Musk now I think "silly culture-war shit-kicker". Lately when he communicates I gain no insight and actually feel dumber. Most recently:

"Kids learn that George Washington was a slave owner and nothing else."[0] -- I don't know anything about this but it sounds like total bullshit.

"Soros hates humanity."

It's even dumber in context...

"reminds me of Magneto."

We have a surplus of silly/entertaining tweets these days but a shortage of intelligent insights. I want the old Musk back, the man who used to raise the bar on discourse. What a loss.
