Lots of people are puritans, I was talking about the puritans making themselves terribly offended by that meme. If Musk is one too it doesn't mean they aren't, it's not based on some relative scale here. But I am using the lowercase puritan which probably doesn't fit him.

I didn't know that he lead an extremist cult though, not that I have ever cared to find out much about his life or beliefs. It wouldn't surprise me, I think a lot of the ruling class and ultra rich are terrible people who we should not be living under. That said I have noticed the claims of Musk's terribleness and extremism may have a tiny correlation with his unwillingness to toe the Democrat party line. Now quite possibly that's just a coincidence and there's absolutely no causation there, nevertheless if I were ever in a situation where that information would be important to a decision, it would behoove me to take it on its merits rather than on faith.
