> 'He's fully lost the plot.'

His pinned tweet expresses concern about the border crisis, specifically the risk of undesirable people crossing the border.

He's expressing what he cares about, is the parent's point. Abrasive or animated expression of views, isn't losing the plot.

As for jokes about pronouns and other triggering issues, it can sometimes be defended when the joke is similar to the Gemini jokes. That is, poking fun at things that might deserve a bit of poking fun at, even ridicule in the case of Gemini.

And my point is that he used to care about inspiring stuff, now he spends all his time caring about useless culture wars.


Again, as objectively as I can, it looks like he believes the country is having an existential crisis deserving of his attention.

"Useless" is your opinion, not an objective measure. "Culture wars" is a trope designed to broadly smear the target, disregarding specifics.

Do you want Musk to be an inspiration vending machine? Your insistence he tighten his inspiration schedule to meet your expectations, is odd.
