        I mean I don't hate my dad. And I don't hate the people that have been duped into thinking he's cool or inspiring or w/e. Musk himself sucks ass because he is responsible for immiserating his workers, workers in the global south, and workers in general.

          I hear ya. And I hear that a lot, feel the same way with leepicatheist guys or HNGTRIFUCKINGLOVESCIENCE types. Lots of them come from really rough backgrounds and you know they're just trying to reach ways to escape their situation, but this is the best they got that actually melds with what they think they are and want to be. Yeah, indirectly Musk is the biggest poison in our lives over its fans.

        Both. Easily. Musk's "cult" think his shit doesn't stink and he shits solid gold.

        "The Boring Company will work!" "So a more shitty Subway will work?" "WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

        Same with Starlink. "Satellite internet has had tremendous lag. You seriously think online gaming/etc. is going to work with better coverage?" "No, see there will be more 'lites up in space [ignoring space junk problem]! The speeds will be insane!!!!"

        But Musk is worse. Half his ideas are pipe-dreams. The others are fucking awful "engineering solutions" that aren't actually solutions (cave diving tubes)

          “The Boring Company will work!” “So a more shitty Subway will work?” “WORK!!!”

          The best way I could understand The Musky mindset is that it doesn't matter if it works or not. If it's harmful or not. Or if it even they like it or not. Musk made it and Musk will save us all by virtue of being Iron Man, so it's all a step towards tesla-valhalla.

          But Musk is worse. Half his ideas are pipe-dreams. The others are fucking awful “engineering solutions” that aren’t actually solutions (cave diving tubes)

          He's so fucking stuck in his late teens. But, to the world's detriment, he has the ridiculous amount of money to never have to deal with it.

            Musk isn't even Ironman. At least Tony admits his problems. Musk has engineers or train engineers tell him the problem with his moonshots and he either goes "NO U" or "PEDO!"

          with the best part being every single one of his bacon-flavored bootlickers working overtime to be like 'LOL SILLY PEOPLE, WITH FEELINGS, DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT ELON'S BEYOND DOING BAD THINGS, HE'S JUST OWNING YOU SO HARD BY RUINING UNTOLD AMOUNTS OF PEOPLES LIVES'

          welp, there's only so much you can do. in the end, is something they must choose for themselves and might be gone gradually. I mention his followers because obv by most of us only dealing w-musk thru social media, we only engage directly with his followers.
