I think you need better people in your life

Until he's not wealthy anymore. Money is by far the thing people respect the most

The fact that capitalists love him so much speaks volumes about how inherently stupid this system is

I don't know a single person who likes Elon

In case anyone was wondering why I regularly post to The_Dunk_Tank, it's because I lived so close to the imperial core of the Bazinga Empire that I had to hear the Super Entrepreneur Brain Genius shit every. Fucking. Day. Offline and in person. Coworkers, strangers, sometimes just obnoxious shit like a chalk scribbling on a sign on the sidewalk making a twee reference to Le Epic SpaceX, shit like that.

I'm glad to be somewhere where I only recently saw a few ZYBERTRUKKKs and otherwise haven't been proselytized to about whatsoever. Still, the sheer cult of insufferably smug computer touchers around him still disgusts me.

Electoralism is a fuck, but if can somehow snatch victory from the usual Democratic habit of getting defeated, I'll still take some schadenfreude comfort in the Super Entrepreneur Brain Genius eating shit and being excluded from whatever big political backrooms the other billionaires that are less visibly obnoxious will otherwise be invited to. He's hitched his wagon way too tightly lately in an all-in gamble on . He probably won't ever go to jail because too rich and too white and too connected but I expect at least some further decrease in his completely undeserved reputation then.

Whenever anyone brings him up in a positive context in real life, I mock them. I'm not normally that sort of person, but pointing and laughing at someone being an idiot is sometimes the only way to get them to stop. Thankfully my friend circle doesn't really have any Elon Musk stans, and quite a few of them have family or friends who fell into the Musk cult, so they're even more sick of hearing about him than I am.

Saw articles about some deepfake elon musk scam using his image to fleece some people. At first I couldn't tell if it was him because didn't he do a pyramid scheme with the whole dogecoin thing? I can't keep up with his lies

with physical violence

I swear that somehow stupidity became extremely concentrated after the proliferation of Elon and Tesla in the mid-late 2010s.

He's now openly supporting Trump, so I think libs are going to turn on him for good because of their hatred of Orange Man Cheeto Drumpf. They can pretty much brush everything else under the rug because ”he's done so much good” or whatever, but this'll be a step too far. You could point out that sharing antisemitic conspiracy theories and transphobia is equally bad, but libs aren't exactly morally consistent.

Oh yeah, and they'll probably come up with some nonsense theory about how the Muskrat is Russia's pawn too.
