It's not a business in that sense - he's lost, what, 30 billion already and can lose another 30 and not notice. No one is disputing what Musk is and what he uses Twitter for. If people feel it's morally wrong to use Twitter then that's fine, that's up to them, but there's no point pretending it will have any practical effect. I've personally never bought anything made by Nike but they seem to be doing ok.

Which is your choice. The point is, you are not the only person to dislike Musk and others have had to make their own mind up about how to handle that - much like using Amazon or Facebook or any other of the many shitty companies that are omni-present. To say that anyone who has made a different choice from yours is "supporting Musk" is risible.

I always knew these bastards were just Musk fan boys.

Tariffs and tariff reform has a long and fascinating history. I wrote my Phd thesis on the The Long (or Great) Depression of 1873 to 1896 and the effect on British Fin de siècle politics with special reference to the election of 1906 which the Liberals won on an anti-tariff-reform platform. The Long Depression probable wasn't either long, great or even a depression but there you go.

Back in 1992 when I was running numbers for Ross Perot we had quite a few disaffected Labour party volunteers come over to help. As the only 'limey' on the team it was up to me to take them under my wing. I soon realised that ideology was only part of the attraction. Some simply wanted to meet Jonny Cash or Kirstie Alley or Steve Martin or Merle Haggard or Willie Nelson or Kris Kristofferson who had all recently endorsed Perot. (I had to explain to Ross who some of these people were since his taste in music was heavily skewed to Death Metal). Some had him confused with Ross from Friends. The point is the differences between British and US politics run much deeper than some ex-Militant wannabe pronouncing your candidate's name to rhyme with parrot. We'd be driving the battle bus down a rural road in Ohio and the driver would be told by one of the UK aids to take the next left and Ross would insist we go right and then the bus would simply plow straight ahead through a corn field. As a metaphor it could hardly be bettered.
