This has enlightened cetralist all over it
43Tell me one way drowning in Elon Musk news has made your life better or allowed you to create positive change.
Elon Musk's social media app changed some bullshit or other
Yeah why the fuck do I care? Why the fuck do you? Stop showing me this shit
-14do you think that elon musk does not have a large effect on society? why do you not care about things that affect society? shouldn't you care? shouldn't you be less selfish? if you only care about yourself, then maybe don't engage with social media.

You should care, his actions can and will affect you
27In what ways?
2If you buy an electric car, his money and influence can affect where and how fast you can charge your car. Technology Connections has a video on electric car chargers that touches on this.
If you study the stars, or even if you're outside looking at the sky, you might see Starlink satellites above you.
If you're in a country that relied on twitter for public reach, you might not be able to read your government's message because you have to log in to read it. I think the Dutch had an issue with that recently.
If you have friends and family, coworkers, local leaders, government employees who use twitter (or you use it yourself), the way the site promotes information will influence their decision making, values, opinions, etc.
For some of these, you might argue that you don't live in this country or another, but countries influence each other. Weed is illegal in India because they needed to make friends with USA for example. Don't get me wrong, I don't follow everything everyone rich does in case they might do something I don't like, I'm just answering your question. I don't have a good opinion of him, and for the most part I'm indifferent to what he does, but he can and does influence our lives.

As far as I can tell, caring about any rich and powerful asshole beyond deciding how to vote once every two years has never once helped my life improve in any measurable way. I've already thought Elon was an asshole for over a year now. Like Trump, there's literally nothing he's likely to do that will change my mind on him, so I rather not hear about him ever again. With narcissists like them, the best that could happen is that they be ignored in the public arena except for people learning the punishing consequences of their selfish actions.

enlightened centrism wants their meme back.
26If only MLK were alive so he could shit on the White Moderates again.

You and most of the citizens of the German Reich, yes, we've seen your kind before

Okay, that was always allowed.
9filtering out posts with "Elon" in the title has been wonderful.
7I just switched apps and have to set up the filters again..
2I'm going to have to figure that out... still new, figured out how to block lemmygrad and such has been fantastic

5Bet you would have had the same attitude towards Hitler too, buddy.
3What a stupid comparison
1I’m not comparing Musk to Hitler. I’m comparing OP to so-called “centrists” that align far-right when push comes to shove.

Right.
There's plenty of billionaires fucking our shit up but so many people seem to have a hate boner exclusively for Musk.
3That's mostly because he insists on opening his dumb mouth.
He could have just shut up and focused on spending his effectively unlimited money, and would mostly have flown under the radar like the rest of them. Instead, he's made himself a lolcow and lightning rod for (justified) hate, burning tens of billions of dollars in the process.
He's a walking mockery of the concept of the meritocracy that conservatives love so much.
