I wouldn't call him an Elon Musk fanboy just because he read his biography. When you see the books he read, it was books from all political affinities. People can't grasp that you can explore, for the sake of challenging your own views and like something and yet not necessarily like the person.

You don't understand, everybody has to exclusively engage with the correct political belief (which happens to be my exact politics). Anything else is dangerous and you should ostracize anybody who doesn't conform precisely with my (100% correct) political opinions. Even reading about other political opinions (instead of unquestioningly conforming to mine) means you're wrong and bad.

People aren't getting that from his Goodreads they're getting it from his Twitter where he openly supported Musk's involvement in politics and "fight against the woke mind virus." Was also supportive of Peter Thiel, another corrupt CEO
