Choosing great lieutenants are actions related to effective leadership.

You may consider him to be a toxic and awful person but that is independent of him being an effective leader. For example, Hitler was an effective leader.

Didn't he save Twitter from total bankruptcy? That's effective imo. Still SpaceX and Tesla are examples of effectiveness overall.

He may not have been effective in all his ventures but for the majority he has been effective.

I'd say going into space and creating an effective electric car product is more than optics.

So then what other then Elon's leadership has caused his companies to effectively exist and achieve all their goals?

If leadership isn't the causal factor then what is the causal factor?

How is it a take? Effectiveness is measured in how effective he is in achieving his goals.

He may not be a well liked or a good leader. But that is different from effectiveness.

Elon is a highly effective leader, simply because his leadership has effectively carried out its objectives. and that is a categorical truth.

And that's the problem.

You never stated the logical reason for why gender and race is different from technical opinions.

If I say gender dysphoria is an actual disease and defect in human biology and that gender reassignment only causes more problems then it fixes. Then that is an aspect of the truth. It is uncomfortable, but it is the truth.

Why should my comfort have extraordinary protection in this area but not in technical opinions?

I'll tell you why. Because neither should have protection. Discomfort shouldn't be protected. Only truth should be protected.

I agree with you in everything discomfort should have no protections at all, but the problem here is you're having a hard time separating truth and discomfort in the areas of gender and race. But you have an easy time of doing it with technical opinions. That is your bias.
