I dunno, man. Sometimes I’m really concerned with the echo chamber here. If you look at Lemmy and Reddit, it’s nothing but an Elon-hating amphitheatre, yet objectively, the guy still seems to be soaring up all the lists that matter.
So, something isn’t right. The guy is obviously popular in places that matter, and it’s worrying that places like this never, ever, ever show it.
I’d like to think Lemmy isn’t one-sided and biased but it clearly is.
And for the record, I’m not pro or anti-Elon. I’m not plugged in (or care) enough to know shit about the guy. But what I’m not going to do is Boomer-lean into one source and parrot the sentiment. Isn’t that what us Gen-Ys and Gen-Zs are supposed to despise, and be too internet savvy to fall for, or are we following our parents into ignorance?
What echo chamber? Elon has been screaming from the fucking rooftops for a few years now that he's a collosal piece of shit.
He's anti-union, anti-worker, facsist, dodges taxes and has like a dozen kids because he believes in "white replacement".
There's literally a meme about you on the top of my feed right now.

Test it yourself. Try saying anything positive about him. Say he has nice eyes, I don’t care, and watch the downvotes flow.
As a matter of fact don’t even be positive, be neutral. Say something like, “I haven’t formed an opinion on this yet” and watch what happens.
His foundation is awesome
If you haven’t formed an opinion then you are out of touch and shouldn’t be surprised when people are annoyed at dealing with you.
All the information is there on the internet.
And Im sorry, but if you think physical traits are comparative to being a union busting asshole or being a white supremacist, then you’re a person not worth engaging with.
Maybe, objectively, our methodology for measuring greatness/worth is flawed.
“ And for the record, I’m not pro or anti-Elon. I’m not plugged in (or care) enough to know shit about the guy”
So wait are you commenting passionately on something you’re self-admittedly completely ignorant of or are you feigning ignorance to Stan for Elon?
How do you breathe? I've rimmed a few guys but never stuck my whole head up there.
