You had a good point though. Even if he does make that enshittified distro, people will see through it and probably be like "wait... I though this is what we were running from in the first place ๐คจ", and that will in turn lead them to other distros.
Plus the whole traction aspect, more software for Linux, even if it is proprietary, that is what actually keeps users on Windows - their favorite software running natively on Linux.
So, yeah, I was also like "holy shit, hope he doesn't do anything stupid ๐ฌ", but you made some fair points, so, I guess... go for it Elon ๐ ๐คท ๐.
