2 years ago, it was fashionable to hate on Zuck for X, Y, Z reasons. But then Elon became the main character in the social media business and the new fashion is hate on Elon and cheer for Zuck. “Do not trust to the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you and I were going to be hanged.” —Cromwell

I've noticed that hating Elon, or hating Zuck is one of the more obvious external signals of a person's political ideology.

Depends why you criticize them! eg. there's a big difference between criticizing them for expanding their centralized power, and criticizing them for not using their centralized power "in the right way"

Zuck - building walled gardens, leaning into misaligned incentives Elon - blocking links that don’t threaten him, capricious rules ad hoc justified as he pleases Bonus round: calling ppl pedos lol wtf

That sounds like more on the "expanding their centralized power" side, which is also the direction that I criticize more from! I'd say your focus on that line of criticism reveals that you have similar openness and decentralization ideals to a lot of crypto people, including myself :)

Though also being willing to criticize his "being a jerk" aspect puts you in the non-maximalist camp of crypto, which I also identify as being in :)
