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.
Biography? There was an honest biography of this asshat 10 years ago?
I’m thinking more hagiography.
We caught you Elon.
We know it’s you, Elon.
He did a Nazi salute on national TV. Anyone who still likes him is a Nazi. Do you still like him?
Did Nazi that coming
Stop talking about the little psycho freak job.
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.

The other half are ok with nazi salutes in the US Capitol.
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.
At this point there’s no difference between supporting it and being oblivious to it. This past election demonstrated that.
Those are rookie numbers. We gotta pump those numbers up.
36% positive. It’s always about 35% approval with the crazy authoritarian stuff in the US.
If you consider half the population probably don’t pay attention to news (and do ya blame them) then it makes sense
You can fool some of the people all of the time.
It’s been around 30 percent since GWB.
And the other half apparently are extremely tuned out or just awful people.
Under-educated selfish assholes.
I can’t believe he is this popular.
He’s not, he has a significant influence on the media.
An important figure in nationalist politics in Germany during the first three decades of the twentieth century, Alfred Hugenberg became the country’s leading media proprietor during the 1920s. As leader of the German National People’s Party, he played a part in helping Adolf Hitler become chancellor of Germany and served in his first cabinet in 1933, hoping to control Hitler and use him as his tool. The plan failed, and by the end of 1933 Hugenberg had been pushed to the sidelines.
Turns out, the wealthy buying up media to spread right-wing talking points to enable fascism in the face of progressivism is yet another way in which the modern Republican party is just a copy of their National Socialist ancestors.
And the other half have a negative view of EVs
Brilliant combo. Musk is a genius.
“a negative view”
Americans are the volk, they’re the problem themselves
Imagine being hated by half a country as large as this one.
What’s wrong with the other half?
Only HALF?? God this country is dumb.
Yeah no shit, it’s like saying half of Americans lean auth-right. A circular Venn diagram if ever I’ve seen one.
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.
And by MAGA country I mean there was a shop just up the road called “Trump, flags, and more” or some shit.
This is just insane to me, and i just refuse to believe that is real.
I assure you it is 1000000% real. The cult is real.
Like, here you go for example:
And the approve rating is our stereotypical 35ish percent.
More than half of the country didn’t take the survey 😐
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.
What now? Is this an off-med rant or do you want to maybe point to the data that you are using? This reads like a Joe Rogan quote
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.
