    I don't know what a FUD'er is and frankly, I don't want to know

    It's knowledge I can do without

        FUD used to be used more correctly and responsibly on... slashdot, so i gues that's 16+ years ago now.

        -would've had a 6 digit if i made an account instead of lurking

      The evil billionaire hedge funds pay people to go to reddit and say "why are you guys dumping your life savings into a 30 year old department store, that's a bad investment." They do this to stop the reddit investors from investing and getting rich when the price of the stock goes to the moon.

      The good billionaires trying to unload their declining stock on credulous retail traders definitely wouldn't pay people to go on reddit and tell people to buy/hold the stock forever. Nope. Because they're good billionaires who want you to be rich like them. Only bad billionaires tell you not to buy shitty stocks.

        Somehow that screenshot is from r/elonmusk, not superstonk or bbby. What does FUD even mean in the context of a person?

          Same thing because Elon is tesla. It comes primarily from the stonk subs because all those people are stonk and crypto people. You're creating FUD about Elon's brilliant plans to make us all rich by putting doge on twitter and TESLA being the leader in EVs.

      In the same way that we're painting them as a weirdo who jumps in front of criticism meant for Elon, he's suggesting that there's a succinct way of painting us as Luddites who hate as the world moves forward past us. As if Elon is building roads and cars and we're riding horses that shit in the middle of the highway and complain about Elon not providing brooms.

      Fear-Uncertainty-Doubt. It's a term used by Star Citizen bazingas, who have a lot of overlap with ELO~N bazingas.

        It has a longer history as a marketing propaganda tactic. It was used extensively by Microsoft throughout the 90s and 2000s for instance. Since all these people were raised by the Internet, they have embraced the term as an epithet to throw at anybody who tries explaining to them that they're being conned.

        Crypto people have used it for a long long time as well, and I think it's had significant use in general parlance as well

          It's used by groups trying to maintain their mass delusions to decry outsiders who "just don't get it".

          These people are so caught up in their "If we just keep believing, it will become real" attitude that they see perfectly reasonable concepts such as uncertainty and doubt as a threat.

          Granted, in case of crypto they often weren't all that wrong about that last part. Since the only thing that made crypto/NFTs valuable was hype, spreading "FUD" could actually hurt the investors' bottom line.

          In case of Elon, it shouldn't fucking matter if twitter posters think he's a clown because you'd think the guy has better things to do than read what people say about him on the godforsaken bird site.

    Hell yeah there is. Drinking a gallon of milk in class to grow extra strong before I beat up the tankie who said Mr. Elon is bad. In a leather jacket but I'm not good at drawing.
