      Its lies. Very few people like arrogant billionares who think they can own countries and everyone else is below them and we’re leeches to be “deleted”. Someone who gets off on ruining lives. Not to mention he’s bat shit crazy and has a farm for his offspring. These billionares are the real threat. Trump is just a useful idiot to make things so bad the billionaires swoop in.

      Musk is the billionaire Trump. Not that smart.

      The smart ones are more dangerous and quiet like Peter thiel. The guy you never heard of that has in hands in everything bad with a fake stutter and compassionate tone. As they build fortresses in New Zealand. Almost like they know there will be a reason to hide.

      More than half the voting population gave Trump a carte blanche when it was super Obvious who he was. Do you really think they’ve changed?

        Actually no, he got neither half the voting population nor half the people that actually voted.

    And the other half have such an open mind that their brains fell out the back?

    Bullshit, all these approval ratings stories are lies. To make you feel disenfranchised. They want you to be cared because "That’s almost all the republicans and they have guns. Don’t pay attention to them, The amount that actually approve is far smaller than the number they seek to force to hide away with stories like this. We are Legion, they are the minority. If Half the country supports the Billionaires, how is Bernie Pulling 12,000 people to a rally in Idaho? These stories are because they’re afraid, it’s just a psyop.

        No, it’s the truthful acknowledgement that all corporate media and centralised social media is owned by Billionaires and that they are all pushing the narrative that Trump is more popular than he is. 12,000 people showed up to a Bernie Rally in deep red Idaho. You sound like a shill, which, of course, would make sense since they proliferate on the Political Sub-lemmys.

      Why do we seem to gravitate to these kinds of people? Why are the worst of the people always the ones we always hear about. Is frustrating we give them attention, even negative attention is adored by these people.

    I read a biography about Elon about 10 years ago, I’ve liked him ever since. Everyone used to like him until the left got a stick up their butt. The left is really good about putting hate on a person. Assholes.

      I went into a shop in MAGA country recently and shop owner broke away from his MAGA conversation to ask us if we’d heard about all the social security grift Elon had just found - apparently they paid over 50 billion dollars to people who’d been dead for 100 years - and did we think they should just refund that to us, or use it to pay off the national debt. He was legit excited.

      The misinformation and propaganda and whatnot is off the charts.

      Yeah no shit, it’s like saying half of Americans lean auth-right. A circular Venn diagram if ever I’ve seen one.

    Right along party lines, I imagine. In other words, the only people with a positive view of Musk are the ones who reliably think what right wing propaganda tells them to think.

      Actually, it’s the billionaires and temporarily-embarrasses billionaires, against the rest of us.

      I think a good percentage of those are either woefully uninformed or think people were making it up.

      But that’d be only very very mildly better.

    Half of the us are Nazis? Fuck. Me. No seriously, fuck me, I’m in need of a big strong man to take my mind off how half of Americans are Nazis.

        The other 42 are down with whatever. It’ll be fine. There’s always drama. Nothing won’t really change. Anyway, I’m going to a conference in x city and then hit the slopes…
