I wish there were some way to verify this but I am pretttttyyy sure that full-time soaking in what X has become has a very significant impact on people we thought were progressive allies (whether it's changing them or just making them more honest, I guess it doesn't matter that much)
from what i've experienced irl climate careerists are becoming much easier to distinguish now that the stakes are clear and goals within the big climate tent are diverging
like when Musk just picked a young climate activist and absolutely sicced his army of abusive, pasty incels on her, there were a bunch of actual climate people (more from the US climate tech space) who actively participated.
