As long as no one idolizes him, I’d say compliments are fine. I’ll never trust a billionaire, but I still appreciate when they do right. Social media causing hero worship to all but die among the reasonable has been its only positive.
That's an interesting line to draw from social media. Depends who you view as the reasonable I guess but I'm not sure I follow. Got any material that fleshes it out?
It’s just a consequence of the disillusionment that social media can provide. The mask dropping to reveal a full confederate uniform and a barely obscured bruised child is a common reason to avoid personally handling your twitter as a celebrity and yet it continues to happen.
