    Most people on the entire planet are aware of how shitty he is at this point. Everyone that would not purchase a product related to him is already not buying said product. There’s no more people to convince. Don’t act like a white knight while degrading the content in this community.

    I swear this specific community is turning more people off to lemmy than any other. These type of posts are why.

      Last time I mentioned Musk in a casual conversation, this one guy kept going on and on about how he thinks he’s a genius and how Twitter will be so much better now and how he’ll bring us all into space and how people only don’t like him because he’s conservative. He would have kept talking forever if we didn’t change the subject.

      My point is that lots of people don’t know how shitty he is. Some people live in an echo chamber where they don’t ever hear about that stuff because certain people want to sell a narrative where the rich man is competent and the poor people are just jealous. Others just aren’t very attentive.

      Not everyone is you. It’s good that you know he’s shit, but you shouldn’t assume that everyone knows everything you do. It’s important that we dispel the myth that the rich and powerful got that way by being smarter than us. If it takes a hundred articles to do that, then it will all be worth it.

        I’m convinced he pays an entire meme troll team to create propaganda that boost his internet persona.

        I’ve seen videos on Tiktok with no other purpose than to say how genius Elmo is, and how he worked his way from nothing, that he is essentially superior to everyone else.

        Who in their right mind would create such a video if they weren’t being paid for it?
