But he's not going to do that on his own. Stop thinking in terms of whose fault it is and instead think about what is effective. Yes, the racist is a bigot but he's also right: the treatment he was subjected to did result in him becoming more racist. So if you truly want fewer racists in the world, look for another strategy. That is the adult thing to do.
Edit: I should add that I reject the idea of anyone making a choice. Neuroscience is pretty confident that choice is not an actual thing; it's all cause and effect. The behavior we are seeing from Elon Musk now is caused by his genes, how he was brought up, and how people are treating him. We can control one of these three things to get the effect we want.
So, he doesn't have the choice to be better, it is our responsibility to make him better. We do have the choice, yet he doesn't?
No, choice is universally an illusion. The things I am saying here are also the effect of past events, as is the fact that you responded. The point I'm trying to get across is that moralizing and saying things like "he's an adult, he should change his behavior on his own" is wishful thinking and neglects a rational approach to what will actually achieve what you want.
It's incredibly rational to dunk on an idiot with a superiority complex.
Why do you think getting a point across matters? When getting a point across to Elon Musk it isn't worth it since he's got no free will.
Free will has nothing to do with the ability to be influenced, in fact you might even say the opposite is closer to reality. The more predictable something is, the easier it is to influence it. I'm sure you agree that your computer has no free will, and you can easily get it to do different things just by clicking the mouse.
So what's the rationale for dunking on an idiot? Do you believe that people shitting on Musk on Twitter will actually cause him to be more woke and compassionate toward others?
Stupid comparison, we are not computers.
So first and foremost, it's funny.
Second, it's a deterrent.
Yes we are, just more complicated computers. As for deterrent, I don't think it's actually working that way. It just pushes him to dig his feet in more.
