people will say dhh is being cancelled etc. but he always had very bad political takes.

now, he is fully in musk orbit, so i expect him to be even more polarizing when speaking publicly.

and ultimately, musk gave him a couple millions to sell grok (starting with full integration into his arch install script he calls a distro).

so, if you follow the money, it is pretty clear he is "just doing his (grok salesman) job"
