I mean I wouldn't mind if he bought a bunch of computer manufacturers and made them switch to Linux. Would be a better use of his money than whatever he's doing with it now.

Even the most garbage subhuman person in the wold can sometimes make a good point
As much as we may hate it
You don't have to like everyone that likes what you like.
I hope now all those Tesla / Musk sycophants and influencers will start touting Linux as the "big new thing" Elon has invented. /s
Please tell me that’s not real. I don’t want him being a Linux fan boy. That would ruin the Linux community.
