> Last month, Elon Musk slammed advertisers that left X, saying they would kill the social media platform.

Slammed is a pretty strong word for a juvenile temper tamtrum that he shared with the world.

That's his version of it: name calling and whining. Let's not forget that he called a rescue diver a "pedo guy" because he lived in a popular place for divers and thought Elmo's wild rescue tube wasn't going to work (it wasn't).

Yeah, that was a watershed moment about him for me. I was never enthralled with Trump like many people because I was familiar with his history, but that moment was when I shifted to thinking of him as an actively terrible person.

It's too late to fix it, but when I said "Trump", I meant "Musk". Perhaps a bit of a Freudian slip there.
