Democracy is a double-edged sword. It gives rights, such as freedom of speech, to all its citizens. Unfortunately, it also extends to polarizing figures we disagree with. Elon Musk faced this problem again when the entire X came after him for the Tristan Trate interview. The tech billionaire shared the long-hour interview through his social media handle.
Following the end of Andrew Tate’s house arrest, his brother Tristan sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson. Netizens were upset at the other Tate sibling’s erratic political and social claims. The comments that followed were nothing less than an uncontrollable virtual mob.

However, few people were impressed with Tristan Tate’s talking points. Username @iron_minds speaks his mind about the siblings, “They’re bot a perfect example of how men change with time. Opinions, beliefs the way of living their life. It all changes.”
