That’s actually a good example of the distinction.

You can check every box on a list and still not have universal social trust, because trust isn’t a personality score. It’s relational, contextual, and earned over time.

Some people trust Elon Musk enormously. Others don’t trust him at all. Both are responding to the evidence they value and their interpretation of his track record.

The point of my post wasn’t “do these things and everyone will trust you.” It was that these are behaviors that make you trustworthy.

Whether everyone chooses to trust you is a different question entirely.
