Jordan Peterson is a great example of why gaining an understanding of informal logical fallacies and critical thinking are important. It doesn't require expertise in an any given area to identify when someone claiming authority in the subject is full of shit, but it does require a certain level of vigilance and skepticism to not get sucked in.

I'd like to (sarcastically) offer up Newsmax's take that this is all just Trump and Elon playing 4D chess with congress/the media to sink the BBB because Trump doesn't like the bill either.

Check out the all in podcast. From a year ago. These guys all know musk personally.

They review the national debit and discuss how MMT/gov spending uses assets of all Americans in the debit isn't that bad comparison since the USA is so rich and cam pay it off.

This concerns the tech bro billionaire since they feel like this means the government sees their wealth as it's own and those guys don't like that.

Shortly after that people started hopping on the trump train starting most vocally with david sacks.

Since the BBB has come out all their tunes are shifting not just musk.
