I followed Abramson from 2016 for 3+ years and I was disillusioned because as time went on, his narrative didn’t line up with reality. Yes Trump was and is a horrible piece of shit and much came out to confirm how much a piece of shit he was, e.g. Muller report, rape, fraud trials. But nothing like Abramson was saying. I believe that is because he was treating every rumor as fact and then expounding / extrapolating on it to heap another rumor (as fact) on top. Nobody should be doing this let alone a scholar who should know better - veracity matters.
And to repeat - I truly hope Musk is having a miserable shitty life. I really hope he goes nuts and checks into a funny farm or uses razor blades to test if he is living in a simulation as he has wondered occasionally. I just don’t trust his “biographer” when he claims anything given his past record on such things.
Ah so was this like mostly a tweeted thing? Because his books and the long form articles aren’t like that. I wasn’t around for the first wave of tweets and such.
Still, “russia worked to get trump elected” used to be thought of as outlandish rumor, and now it’s reported as fact and everyone yawns.
