Fucking hell, I hate this word with a passion and how it's used as a cheap insult, but really "cuck" is the only thing that springs to mind. Someone takes a dump all over you but not even that makes you less eager to say panegyrics about them? Very strange.

Did you even read the article? In his own tweet he says he's "super pissed", how could you possibly conclude that "maybe he doesn't care that much"?
I mean seriously, stop for a moment and think if "I don't dislike the guy who runs the company that inconvenienced me and I think things may turn out okay" warrants the association that the person who feels like this would be sexually gratified by his wife sleeping with another man.

#129From another article [0]: > Vaught is mostly a Musk fan, as he's interested in Musk's electric cars and space developments. He said that this experience with X hasn't tainted his opinion of Musk or his relationship too much with X as a platform. He's holding out hope that Musk has a long-term plan for where Musk is taking X, but like many users, he's struggling to adjust to the rebranding. Vaught still refers to the…
