Because Elon being made miserable is something that most other people would consider to be uplifting - I know it certainly made me happier to read it
My opinion here, but I think schadenfreude is actually a rather negative and toxic emotion that should at most just be tolerated, if not discouraged. It's a kind of vice, it might feel good in the moment and in small doses but it's ultimately harmful over time and shouldn't be made habit. Like, there's no net positivity added to the world through schadenfreude, it's a crabs-in-a-pot type mechanism. I guess I just don't think we should be conditioning ourselves to feel glee at anyone's downfall, even our enemies.
It's the continuation of all the negative news about Musk and Tesla and MAGA. While it is uplifting to some that they have setbacks, I believe this doesn't help people distract from this shitshow, which I reckon the community is all about.
Besides, people made miserable is not in the spirit of the place, either.
I also subscribe here because as a non-American I need to be able to escape the Musk/MAGA news cycle at times. I go to c/all when I wanna read that stuff.
Is it? Or is it just bullshit because Spacex, Palantir and Meta have over 7 Trillion Dollars in government contracts. Tesla is just the sacrificial lamb
