That's an astute observation. While Musk possesses outstanding intelligence, his actions are wired sometimes because I have watched some of his interviews. But I think he's managing himself in the social setting better now.The man is smart but not street smart if that makes sense. He could also use a lot more humility.
He has relatively good ideas, especially with Starlink and neuralink. I don’t believe Facebook’s free speech is a victory for Musk as their platform is a lot bigger than X.
I’d say it’s more of a ploy to lessen their moderation tactics as their moderation as been somewhat strict over the years.
He also played a role in Paypal’s development.
