Interesting analysis on the commentary that followed the falling out between Musk and Trump. Specifically, on how commentators reached immediately for well-worn gender stereotypes and metaphors: with supporters categorizing their behavior as “masculine” while liberal commentators mocked them by applying a “feminine” reading to it.

We’re going to keep covering this story because, frankly, it’s the only story that matters right now, and one that not everyone manages to see clearly. The political press may not understand what’s happening (or may be too afraid to say it out loud), but those of us who’ve spent decades studying how technology and power interact? We see it and we can’t look away.
