    He invites that type of love or hate mentality with his public persona. I would say that for every person who bases their identity around hating the guy you have as many people who base their personalities around loving him.

    I don’t feel a thing about Elon, he’s what he is, he plays his part in this drama, we won’t ever interact with one another & so on and so forth.

    However, I feel deeply embarrassed about people, who seem be defined almost exclusively by their negative attitude towards the guy. I mean, ffs, if you don’t like the guy, as a revenge live nice, good life where he is of zero importance.

      Whether you want to admit it or not, the guy has a massive negative effect on your life and American society in general due to his outsized platform and influence. People like you would prefer to shame normal people who want even a tiny shred of agency against oligarch billionaires because you believe that simply ignoring them will suffice. It won’t.

      Would you have shamed Hitler’s most vocal critics if you were around before WWII?

      IMO, voices of dissent against Elon’s toxic, fascist meddling should be amplified and perpetuated because, if he had his way, the US would be a fascist nation.

        It’s also worth noting that Musk was always this cruel and evil of a person. Modern social media is just making it obvious, at least to some, that this is the case. The more we push out this fact, the better the world becomes.

          You seem to care enough to come here and shame us. Block the community if you don’t like it.

            It takes very little effort to write a sentence or two. And yeah, of course I will avoid communities, threads and people that produce what is a pointless, meaningless static noise to me…

            I may not answer, I’m not sure how effective blocking on Lemmy is.

            With that brittle ego, you’d feel trolled by your own shadow, bro… And please, I already forgot about this community, why remind me of it?

              I think I’m special, and everyone else is just a peon for me to lord over. I know this is true because my mommy told me so!

                Cool story, bro, thanks for sharing, but I think it should be reserved for your therapist, not shared with Internet randos, don’t you think?

                Side note: you’re boring.
