Ugh, yeah, I don't hate the guy, but I also think that anyone who still thinks he's a visionary hasn't actually been paying attention to his work/how his companies are going lately.

I suppose my instinctive reaction isn't to assume someone's politics would determine how they react to Musk.

My first real assumption would be that tech/engineering types are the only ones who'd really think about him at all (in both directions). Like, I do have an uncle who occasionally brings him up whenever theirs news on SpaceX's rockets (though usually this gets brought up in the context of "new technology sucks" and "what was wrong with the rockets that carried up Voyager" and such).

So yeah, I really don't think I'd describe anyone as "gargling Elon's cock" except those who still have good will for Tesla.

Yeah, I hate how toxic just politics in general get. Like, it feels like any time anything political gets brought up, everyone leaves their good will and sense of humanity at the door, ya know?

I do enjoy how much tech-focused content is on Lemmy, but it also feels like there's a higher concentration of toxic leftist type posts.

That's definitely a thing I miss about the good ol' reddit days: being able to scroll for days without seeing anything political. Or rather - being able to filter out all the political subs and not feeling like you were missing out on the larger conversation on the platform.

That's interesting to hear. I wouldn't have expected Europeans would have thought about ol' Elon that much.

Ugh, yeah, that is a point of frustration I have with the family.

For them, it's not so much "look what Musk is doing" so much as "look at how much better Twitter's gotten", which is particularly ripe cause none of them even use the platform. As I think on it, that probably means the big Fox talking heads are saying things like that.

I never got into Twitter myself (just never really understood / took to the format), which is kind of a shame cause I'd really like to be supporting Mastodon in this years surgance of the Fediverse.

Man, I don't know what right wingers y'all are talking about.

I come from a super right wing family and all them MFs think this is a bad idea too (though to be fair, they're def on the conspiracy theory "everything is to get a microchip in my blood/brain" side of things).

But feal there maey be a does of misspelt words in your setnence thoungh

So I love that this meme is detailed enough to have the older guy's arm partially block his name tag.

...but I'm disappointed that, in spite of such details elsewhere, there's a misspelt word.

The dichotomy is making my bones itch.

Eh, better to celebrate those who could keep up than to fret over those who couldn't.

In a lot of ways, this is where I'd like to be, but my mind hesitation to jump from Spotify (and comparable services) is the ability to discover new music across a crazy variety of genres. Especially since it's stable and uses the same controls every time, I think I'd have a hard time leaving.

Big tech got me addicted like that.
