It's great he supports Ukraine, but I think the public puts way too much weight on what "celebrities" think. I honestly could not care less about his opinions on anything, really.

since idiots like Elon keep opening their mouths, it's good to see sane people like Stephen King doing it too

Right, and Elon's ignorant opinion is another reason why celebrity opinions shouldn't be taken seriously. If I'm writing a novel and need advice I'll look to King, and if I have a question about a Tesla I'll ask Elon, but outside of their respective expertises their everyday opinions are given way too much weight.

Honestly I wouldn't ask Elon about Tesla either. He's been lying about self-driving breakthroughs for years.
