I hate Elon with every fiber of my body, but: No, this is not going to happen.
Most people don't care/don't know about Elon's politics. Look at Henry Ford: Most people don't know he was a fascist either, they just know that he was the guy who made cars and maybe they even know that he had something to do with assembly lines, but that's about it.
You can currently observe in real-time how white-washing the reputation of a guy like Ford/Musk works outside of leftist circles. Mainstream media won't even acknowledge Musk's nazi salute ever happened, let alone how he instigates racist progroms on exTwitter.
Still, I agree that leftist spaces should never stop calling him what he is: A fascist.

They won't. They are owned by billionaires after all and those'd rather shield their buddies in the fossil fuel industries while the plebs dies.
No, actually I am taking it the way you do. Actually I am not unhappy of it having that effect on me. I feel like I haven't slept this well since I was a baby. 😴
It would be great if they did, but getting the necessary tech up and running takes time.
For me prog is... meow, yawn, time for a cat nap. Or two, maybe three...
Zzzz, so good, mwrop, snore.
Yeah, I am in the same camp. Their various explanations do not line up and it all reeks of them doing damage control after they showed their power level. I still have an account on GoG, but haven't used it in ages and now I am definitely not inclined to use it again.
Another user already made the point about enjoyment, but allow me to add another one: Every activity can be turned into a hobby if it is pursued with intent and intensity: You can flip burgers and the you can triple-flip burgers, salting them in midair and send them flying into a bun you juggled in your other hand.
Jokes aside, if you enjoy making beef jerky and spend your time perfectioning this particular skill, it is certainly your hobby.

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but here it goes...
Because the Hero's Journey is junk science. Joseph Campbell who created the "Hero's Journey" was an arch-reactionary who had intended to present an alternative to the literature of his day which he disdained. He longed for a return to the "wisdom of the past" and his book "The Hero with a thousand faces" was positioned as presenting this wisdom, arranged around Freudian and Jungian theories, particularly the debunked "collective unconscious"; as well as the ideas of reactionary philosopher Spengler and ethnologist Frobenius (particular Frobenius' idea of "paideuma").
What the book actually is, is a mashup of quotes from various myths and legends, deprived of their cultural context and strung together along the lines of Campbell's preconceived beliefs. These myths and legends are never considered in their entirety, nor did Campbell dwell on the culture that produced them. From a standpoint of anthropology, it is a profoundly unscientific book and upon publication it was largely dismissed as such by Campbell's peers.
In the "American Anthropologist" Stephen Porter Dunn wrote:
Accordingly, The Hero's Journey always mattered more to literary applications than as a genuine human artefact. Still the importance of the The Hero's Journey as a storytelling concept only came after the success of "Star Wars", when Hollywood discovered it as a template for blockbuster movies. Though Hollywood largely discarded most of Campbell (for good reason) in favor of the simplified version as presented by Christopher Vogler (for example: The 12 steps of the Hero's Journey are Vogler's version, Campbell used 17) who did not care much about the Hero's Journey allegedly universal applicableness, than in its usefulness as a tool set.
Lots of people are still heavily invested in painting the Hero's Journey as a universally shared principle of storytelling. To those people I recommend Robert Ellwood's "The Politics of Myth", which traces the development of Campbell's thinking and the development of the Hero's Journey.
