He’s so shitty I don’t even know where to start, but so many people on there are convinced he’s some kind of heroic anti-corruption reformer and taking on the CIA and shit.
I’m starting to sour on the platform over it, I was enjoying talking politics on there but now my feed is flooded with Musk worship 🤮
I don’t know how people that aren’t white supremacists have any positive feelings towards this piece of shit. He is a product of apartheid South Africa. He is a racist to his core and a nazi. Completely baffling.
Unfortunately many people in China see him as some kind of visionary genius (he’s an engineer!) who’s going to fix America with his genius optimization plan to weed out inefficiency in the government bureaucracy lol. I’ve even seen people wrote that maybe China should have its own DOGE lmao.
Also his Tesla factory in Shanghai actually pays twice as well in terms of salary and benefits (including medical insurance, pension plans and annual leave) compared to the other Chinese EV competitors, so it’s has quite a reputation there because many people hate the long working hours very commonly found in Chinese factory jobs. Foreign multinational corporations usually pay much better and less demand for overtime work. It’s all relative it seems.
My (shallow) observation is that it’s a mix of “wow, cool rocket” tech brain and a kind of technocratic belief that scientists/engineers/entrepreneurs are not just smart but wise. Do you have thoughts on my assessment?
