Sorry, I don't have the lemmy link right know but this article was in my feed a few hours ago:
"Democrats eye a villain-to-ally arc for Elon Musk"

That article is not really based on much. None of the quotes I saw really seemed like anyone believes Elon should get any second chances.
Everyone deserves second chances. Generally I'm willing to give people as many chances as it takes if they're honestly trying. The issue here is that I don't see any reason to think Elon's views or actions have fundamentally changed. This looks more like two massive egos colliding.
Yeah, I wouldn't give Elon any more chances. In my mind every time he opened his mouth to be a shit bag that was another chance to be better which he blew

I agree that this message needs to be spread, but I truly hope it takes more than a lovers quarrel to redeem a douchebag Nazi that has been destroying lives for a long time.
He's not Iron Man, he's Iron Monger. Jeff Bridges character.
Whatever the fascists decide to do short of mass suicide, we will all suffer.
But we can also take some joy in watching them suffer at their own hands.
