    It’s everywhere on social media, and presumably those posters are real people. People used to think Musk was fucking Iron Man lol

        Yes, because a lot of people also hate him.

        Also because these people are hungry ghosts. It’s not enough to be loved by a million cultish followers, they need more. More more more, forever, just like how they need more money and more power and more fame and more more more of everything else.

          they need more

          you can tell they’ve all burned their bridges with whatever friends they may have once had and their social group is now employees and other jillionaire shitwads.

            These things never had friends, they aren’t capable of that kind of human connection.

            Everyone is an associate or a rival. “Friendship” is for poors.

      Yeah, you just agreed with me.

      You’re reading bot content and content that’s boosted by algorithms in the hands of companies run by billionaires

      Most real people despise rich people

        It was like that on Reddit, where exposure was a function of other people up voting this shit. Sure, there were bot farms, but I argued with real people who thought this nonsense. This was before ChatGPT had us app arguing with their magic 8-ball.

        More proof: Trump won reelection, didn’t he? Sure, he only got 49.9% of the popular vote, but doesn’t that further demonstrate that there’s a lot of people who think being a billionaire makes you smart?

          Trump did not win.

          The US is not a democracy. The progressive parties have zero chance of winning.

          Put a progressive in the televised debates and give the people rank choice voting, and you’ll see what the people actually want

            The US is not a democracy, but 77 million people voted for him. You can’t ignore that.

            There are, in fact, millions of people who worship billionaires and I don’t know how you think you can deny this. Just yesterday during Thanksgiving I had to listen to my sister’s mother-in-law defend this man, she isn’t a chatbot and she isn’t being boosted by an algorithm. The US is full of temporarily embarrassed billionaires that want to be just like Musk or Trump.
