So the "backlash" is people on threads complaining that he isn't morally pure enough because he invested in SpaceX. This is to be expected from the "everything is political" types of people that are prevalent on Threads (and BlueSky). Tom should just ignore them.

That's to be expected, since the majority of people on either of those services are those with a deep hatred of Musk. Not sure why he expected a different reaction, or why he's even slumming it on those services to begin with.

The pure evil of these purity tests is fully on display and as repulsive as ever.

Insane thing to write when the "purity test" is not supporting/investing in a defense contractor with a CEO who begged Epstein to go to the island.

Not sure if I'm missing a significant portion of the article as a non-subscriber, but there seems to be no backlash nor explanation of why he deleted it.

From the article:
UPDATE: Tom Anderson deleted his post and changed his Threads bio following thousands of negative comments about his work with SpaceX and Elon Musk. In addition to his existing bio section, he added: “update: no interest in politics.”
