    Now that you mention it, Elon is basically just the replacement for Trump on Twitter. Huge public platform, rich, uncivil, rude, stupid, fails upwards and espouses right-wing politics and hypercapitalism.

    And libs obsess about him just the same way they obsessed about Trump. I know a strongly neoliberal gamer forum where they have a thread series on Musk that's been running since he took over Twitter last year, 570 pages in total so far.

    It's basically a Kiwifarms lolcow thread, commenting on every mundane shit he says or does. Just completely obsessed, and prophesizing his imminent downfall every 2 weeks. Remember when Twitter was supposed to collapse in November 2022 when the soccer world cup took place?

      As someone who's hated Musk for nearly ten years, I find the recent tide of feckless lib anger kinda validating.

      Are you talking about the forum Resetera by chance ?
