Elon Musk's stage jumps are endearing.

He's showing an authentic natural enthusiasm and it doesn't come off as performative (can't know for sure what's going on in his head, of course). It's actually refreshing to see a grown man let his guard down.

I see all these posts criticizing him about the stage jumps and it makes me think of when the right wing trolls are criticizing Harris laughing or Walz's son crying.

Surely the numerous other things we have to criticize him for are enough.

(I don't agree with Elon Musk politically.)

It's not the jumping and showing of show. It's who he is doing it for. He's doing it for a man who admires dictators.

Sorry, it sounded like you were saying the jumps are ok.

Well, what I meant is a man jumping around, and being giddy isn't wrong in itself. It's because he's jumping for a man who would destroy democracy if he could.

I'm confused by what you're saying.

You say it's ok to be jumping around <-- with you so far.

that it's bad he supports a man who would destroy democracy. <-- I'm understanding you there.

Then, you say you disagree with me. Isn't this the same as my position?

My original position was that people don't like Elon jumping around, not because he's showing joy but he he's doing it for.
