I'll pontificate whenever I want! Even when I'm damn well sure I'm wrong! (Maybe doubly so!) It's my right as a Netizen!

But I guess we just have different opinions on what qualifies as problematic behavior for teenagers or the public to see. To be fair, I didn't bother to verify Elon was just goofing around, but the implication is that he was. And I stand by that not being a thing I worry about. I actually think not taking yourself seriously and being able to joke around about looking edgy is even fairly healthy.

Regardless, you can rest easy knowing I don't bother espousing my thoughts outside of this little corner of the internet and to the people I actually know. So I promise you that even if I'm wrong, the damage is minimal.
