I'm not. your post is literally saying we should be nicer to him because he's not Elon. you're saying we should be easy on him because he might be doing some good. I'm saying we shouldn't.

No. "Don't immediately assume he's doing the same exact evil" is not the same as "be nicer".

At the least, it's "assume other bad motives perhaps".

My thought is this is just another way to milk money from others. That simple. Not "let's bribe govts".

If it's assumed he's doing the exact same as Musk, then we either prepare to undo the damage incorrectly, or waste time looking at the wrong stooge.

you're quoting yourself but you never said that. you said maybe Gabe could be entering his villain phase, as if he's not there yet. thus implying you meant he's not a villain, so we shouldn't assume the worse. I get what you say now, but you did not say what you meant in your original comment.
