I don’t know much about the US housing marketbut, here in the UK, I know two couples who bought their houses for £15-25k in the 1970s and they’re worth a million now.
COVID regulations and handling did not help, at least from what social and regular media made it out to be.
Some things to consider that I hear from people that are vaccinated but have became more criticial after COVID:
It made many question the scientists working for these big pharma companies, where profit always comes first.
While the people (as in ‘we the people’) pay for the research/loss and the companies take the profits, while having full immunity.
Scientists can also be like politicians, saying what they think people want to hear, without addressing the serious concerns people have; lying and moving goalposts does not help.
Many on the left used to be more sceptical of what gov’t, 3 letter agancies, and media had to say; now known as classic liberals.

A lot of scientist don't work for those companies, or even worse they work for the competition. That's why constant review of scientific facts and finding a consensus is the way it works.

That's a media problem, not a scientific one. If there are 10000 scientists agreeing on something and one with the opposite opinion, you will see 2 scientists debating the issue. This pretends there is an actual debate going on and not just one nutjob saying bullshit for what ever reason (might be honest believe, might be money, doesn't matter...).

That is true, even more so in the very commercialized US health idustry. Yet that's far less true for vaccines than for any other medicine. Or how much did you actually pay to get vaccinated? And how much did the government (which spends your tax money) pay for each dose? They surely did a phenomenally better job at negotiating costs there than what your insurance companies or you yourself are able to do...
IMO this has less to do with Musk, or any moral consequences and more to do that most of Twitter’s traffic has always been bot activity, and companies are waking up to the fact that they have been paying to serve their ads to bots.
I foresee facebook and reddit falling to the same fortune.
