What does it mean? Well, we don't actually have time to process how shit everything he said is, before the next new shit thing he said is being shoved in our faces.

I know there are shitty things Trump did, that I can't even remember, because I just don't have the capacity to remember it all.

Musk is the same.

The key difference is that Musk just runs some shitty companies I can afford to ignore. Trump ran the damn country. It was inescapable.

There were a lot of stories about advertisers "pausing" after this tweet.

David Brooks quote about The Idiot: "We've got this perverse situation in which the vast analytic powers of the entire world are being spent trying to understand a guy whose thoughts are often just six fireflies beeping randomly in a jar."

Idk it was in the news. You don't have to remember everything, it's no problem to explain

“Flood the zone with shit.” Steve Bannon 2018. I’d guess Trump does it instinctually but I wouldn’t be surprised if some people are quite intentional about it. Otoh, Musk has a history of tweeting wacky stuff you distract from bad news about one of his companies.
