Do you guys think there's a part of him that realizes that people dislike him for a legitimate reason? I mean, he started out being the darling of the internet, when he was in the early stages with SpaceX and Tesla. His cult of personality was pretty large. Obviously he still has fanboys, but he has to realize that he ended up on the fringe, right? Right?
He knows, and he doesn't care.
Once he became the richest person on the planet, he stopped giving a shit. Money buys anything he wants, so why should he.
Honestly, as much as I think he's a db, and i dislike what hes become, I kinda find it makes him more relatable. I mean, who wouldn't be consumed by extreme money and power? If anything, it distracts from the idea that you're a giant cash bag and reminds people that you're only human. Although from what I understand, he always been this way, and he just had a great PR team in the beginning.
With the tantrums he throws, I doubt he doesn't care.
Pretty sure he employs a meme shitposter group that makes propaganda to make the internet like him.
I would think so. But at this point, he has made his choice. Don't think a baby face turn is in the cards. Might as well become Emperor Palpatine at this point.
If Musk is Palpatine, then is Zuckerberg Snoke? Does Musk have a jar full of Zucks like in that mess of a Star Wars movie?
Not if he's surrounded by yes men, which I'm sure he is.
He's surrounded by his own, privately owned and operated, yes-social media platform
