Making a thread about hypocrisy while being hypocritical is an amusing achievement.

I don't see it as being hypocritical. He isn't bashing Elon for the action, just sharing an article about it. What you infer from his actions is an interpretation you have decided upon since he did not offer his own commentary on the actions.

I agree here. I mean, I dislike Musk for a whole host of reasons but him playing this game isn't going to be one of them. It is one more piece of evidence for what I have been saying all along in that he is not as much of an absolutist when it comes to freedom and democracy as he likes to claim and his fanboys seem to believe, but it isn't anything different than any other company is going to be doing and it isn't news to me.
