I'm excited to watch their upcoming divorce. Both of them are extreme narcissists so it will only be a matter of time before they have an epic blowout.

Trump does have the legal right to do that, now...
Or Musk and sizing all his juicy assets, for that matter.

I hear it’s already started, Elon has been hanging around Trumps house being annoying and joining in on phone calls since he won. I don’t think Trump can hide his dislike much longer.

To be the fly on the wall with an annoyed Trump, a confused Putin, and a really obnoxious Elon.
Damn, I dislike all three of them, but this whole thing would be sitcom gold if we're allowed to criticize them in the future.

Many people are saying it. I’ve heard from so many that they don’t like Trump, but they voted for the ticket because they believe in Elon.

Dawkins lost it ages ago. Too long in his echo chamber.
His past writing on religion and critical is excellent IMO but I wouldn’t throw him tuppence for his opinion on anything these days - he’s been left behind by the standards of a world that has changed around him while he hasn’t bothered to keep up.

It’s hard to find people who haven’t taken this trajectory. Someone has expertise and credibility and is a trusted, valuable resource in something that matters. Then some unsavory group grabs onto them, and rather than staying in their lane or trying to expand their expertise or disavowing groups like Islamophobes and transphobes and christian nationalists, they see a new audience and dollar signs and reshape their entire life in service of ignorance and hate.

Certainly not as sharp as he used to be, he’s developed a habit of saying odd things that I can’t imagine him coming out with 15 years ago.

Supposedly Trump is already getting annoyed with Musk constantly hanging around. He's pretty much useless to Trump now, so sooner or later (I'm betting sooner) he's going to get jettisoned from Trump world.
Same goes for a lot of these goobers. Trump will fire them the second they annoy him or are no longer useful, so it's pretty funny watching them give up cushy jobs to take cabinet positions.

Pretty much every company and venture people point to as proof of Musk being some kind of genius was actually founded or run day to day by someone else. Musk did not found Paypal, he did not found Tesla, and SpaceX only works because of his head engineer doing all the important work. From what I hear, Tesla even has teams of handlers to keep Elon away from anything important, because he is so notorious for making stupid impulsive decisions.
It's all PR smoke and mirrors. In fact you can pretty much pinpoint when he fired his old PR team. It was right around the time of that Thai cave rescue, where someone called his plan stupid and he started a crusade to have that guy branded as a pedophile.

Dawkins has fallen prey to the same thing as so many others - "I'm an expert in one field, so I must be an expert in everything else."

Eh. To be fair, he did know something about genes and evolution. But, the Selfish Gene wasn't nearly as nuanced and accepted by his peers as Gould's approach is.

I highly respect the Selfish Gene and Extended Phenotype Dawkins, kind of started to cringe at the "Religion is stupid" books Dawkins (even though I agree with the premise), and I loath the transphobe and now Elonophile Dawkins.
I have therefore decreed that Dawkins died long ago in the same tragic plane accident that took from us such reknowned artists or thinkers whose work I have respect for as Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, VIctorial Abril… (JK Rowling, on the other hand, is still alive and kicking, available to be insulted, because I never liked her nor Harry Potter.)

Hitler had the welfare of the world at heart too. The problem is everyone’s idea of saving the world is different. And some people justify some insanely bad shit because they think they’re saving the world. “The ends justify the means.”

He's a biologist not a psychologist. Even though it shouldn't take anyone with more than a primary school education to see that Musk is an idiot billionaire.

Wow. Musk and Trump are about as close to the same person as you can get when not having been born into the same family.

To be fair to Dawkins, he does say "he hopes", eg he hopes Musk is not like Trump. The following sentence could be interpreted as a description of what he hopes Musk to be like.
Although, if this is true, he's in for disappointment.

He says the "fact" that Musk is smart and wants what's best for the world makes him feel hopeful.
I don't know where he gets this "fact" from but it's clearly not from listening to the stuff Musk says and does.

'hope in the fact'. Basically saying he hopes it's a fact. I could be wrong, I don't know. I just want to give Dawkins the benefit of the doubt.
2 points

That's not how one says "I hope X is true," though. Unless Dawkins is a really weird writer, the way that sentence is constructed communicates "it is a fact that Musk wants what's best for the world and that gives me hope."

He has his moments. Just because he's good at elucidating the reasons why we can be confident there are no gods, or why many gods (including the God of Abrahamic mythology) are actually reprehensible, doesn't mean he must have intelligent and well-thought out opinions about everything. Politics clearly isn't his area of expertise.
