This article has very little context. Here is the kind of comment he was receiving: https://www.threads.com/@thehawthornelibrary/post/DUE7PWnjIm...
So the "backlash" is people on threads complaining that he isn't morally pure enough because he invested in SpaceX. This is to be expected from the "everything is political" types of people that are prevalent on Threads (and BlueSky). Tom should just ignore them.
That's to be expected, since the majority of people on either of those services are those with a deep hatred of Musk. Not sure why he expected a different reaction, or why he's even slumming it on those services to begin with.
The pure evil of these purity tests is fully on display and as repulsive as ever.
Insane thing to write when the "purity test" is not supporting/investing in a defense contractor with a CEO who begged Epstein to go to the island.
