I would call strong opposition to Musk a democratic responsibility, not a derangement. We are talking about a guy with a fondness for the far right and throwing Nazi salutes, and whose destruction of USAID had, by November 2025, resulted in “hundreds of thousands of deaths”. [1] Those, of course, are just a couple of examples.
If strong opposition to that kind of evil makes me deranged, count me in.

Sure, but that is not a defence against the claim that his journalistic coverage is biased.
Did you even read the article you sent? It’s all based on estimates.
It is consensus seeking derangement at best

>The "salute" in particular is simply a politically-expedient freeze-frame from a Musk speech, where he said "my heart goes out to you all" and happened to raise his arm.
Yeah, no. I thought so as well initially but then I saw the video. The guy throws out his arm straight out multiple times.

We've all seen the video, there is no hoax and no doubt that he was doing a nazi salute, with some level of "humor" defense.
