I love it, because it’s becoming the de facto example of how you don’t need to a good businessman or a smart person or any other excuse people bring up to justify billionaires. I don’t need to spend time explaining how billionaires are not doing some magic to make billions, I can just point at Musk and say he is missing all the qualities the billionaires are supposed to have. In the end Musk is just a sadder real life version of this guy. Except there wouldn’t be any police for him.
What I think is nuts is how many people see all this and still don’t get it. For example, my neighbor is a conservative voter and he still LOVES Elon. He sees Elon as intelligent, industrious, and successful simply because he has lots of money. He doesn’t care that Elon has repeatedly shown that he basically just won the millionaire’s lottery and used his familial apartheid riches to make more money but way more than your average millionaire might, more than anything because of luck. Nope. He deserves it, somehow, despite being a huge do-nothing douchebag.
I was able to filter posts about him and the truck using the Sync app, this has snuck through because there’s no keywords in the title. I might add Tesla to the list actually.
I am so fucking tired of Elon Musk this Elon Musk that. Did you see what Elon Musk did the other day with the x y z thing??
Gods, I wish there was an IRL filter/blocklist to filter out everything Elon Musk.

In the same position. I’ve managed to reduce my Elon exposure significantly with keyword filtering but these types of memes still get through :(
Yeah Im not a fanboy, I just don’t fucking care.
