Yes, people might be forgiven for believing he's different from Musk because they had differences about Twitter and because Twitter was not as bad when he owned it, but he's still a tech cultist like Musk, still has all the wealthy 0.1%er Silicon Valley weirdness and kook beliefs.

He's just not in the news as much.

Watch his Joe Rogan podcast episode, he knew fuck all about what his company was doing while he was in charge.

Its an interesting look behind the scenes a bit, but he definitely had been checked out mental from twitter for a while, they should have just had her on there.

People liked the fact that his backing gave bluesky some extra clout, which gave it a lot more visibility. I don't think the platform needs it any more, though.
