      “Woke” is really similar to the boogyman for them. So maybe he is admitting that and that he is infected by the wrong belief in the boogyman.

      Nah he cosplayed as a goth once when he was a teenager. Other than that, he has always been a failed nerd.

      Edit: apologies, that is what he is saying in the tweet, yes

      I mean, there was a period about 15 years ago when he seemed to be the only rich person actually talking about climate change, doing something that might make some difference (investing in an electric vehicle startup, and later a rooftop solar startup) and seemed to actually be concerned about it. I now question if that was just an act or not.

      On the other hand there is the theory that he fell down the right wing social media pipeline during the pandemic and that’s why he’s seemed to have such a sudden shift on political party affiliation. I like that theory because I think it’s kinda funny to imagine one of the richest men in the world being too cooped up and spending too long doomscrolling to the point that he became radicalized by social media algorithms

    He is just person born in rich family that used social media to create image of some kind of engineering genius, when his actual “skill” was to have money, push engineers to work hard and knowing how to get money from the government.

      I think that kid made the youtube channel “Engineering Made Easy”

      It’s a channel about an Indian guy badly explaining physics in order to justify his spiritual beliefs, featuring the best of “Shit Roger Penrose absolutely did not say, not even when talking about Orch-OR”
