That's a very weird sentence. It's like saying "if my doctor was for good health, wouldn't he be working to cure cancer instead of treating patients"
There's always multiple paths to solving problems.

It is a weird sentence. Sometimes I say things in weird ways. And it bring up a great example. If doctors were for health, they would encourage fasting, meditation and breath work. And yet they don't. Why is that? It isn't because they are all bad. It is because they are part of a sick system. And our sick system is confused about what is best for us. Maybe Elon has good intentions and isn't that smart. Or maybe he is very smart, And is a taker from man. And maybe I am completely clueless and he is doing great things. I am just sharing my perspective.
But answer the question about nostr. Do you think what he is doing with Twitter is better than supporting open source decentralized technology?

It's not a question with a quantifiable answer. There's no guarantee that nostr will ever become popular, even with elon musks backing. It's actually less likely now, since half of the internet seems to hate him.

Well I don't want him backing nostr. I was just making a point. Nostr is like Bitcoin. Nothing is certain. But the writing is on the wall. Some can see it. Some can't. Elon doesn't see it. He is feeding fiat world still. Which doesn't make him bad. But if he is soo smart and visionary...
