I'm not sure there's an apples-to-apples comparison to be made between the social and business decisions of an ostensibly-savvy 50+ year-old billionaire and the often-predatory loan schemes aimed at young adults with no leverage in the world yet.

Of course not, but a lot of people are being extremely biased, you can't deny that.

And, yet, I'm now surprised Musk isn't in the student loans game.

Musk is defaulting, student loan forgiveness is the taxpayer picking up the tab. A better question would be if those people think students should be able to default on their loans.

Pretty asinine comparison, unless your argument is that us tax payers should be picking up twitter's unpaid rent.

What if you believe Musk should pay his contractual obligations and that student loan people should do the same? I suspect that is a pretty big overlap.
