Look, Elon Musk is the most popular celebrity in the world, probably tied with Donald Trump. Of course we constantly shit talk about him, it's what we humans do. Just roll with it, or continue to have a bad time, it doesn't matter either way.
I think I'll continue to have a bad time on Lemmy, for $500.
Yes, Elon Musk is. Not some random car owner. This all feels like bullying to me.
I pretty sure that's almost verbatim what one of my bullies said about me, who also isn't Elon Musk incidentally.
Just rip on Musk, not his customers.
It's not really bullying because they're generally wealthier than us and bought these trucks as a status symbol. Society is rejecting that bid at higher status.

That's unfortunate, I'm sorry you've been the target of bullying. I'm just saying we as humans gossip about one another all the time. If it's directed with the intent to harm a real peer I'm not okay with that. Although we do indeed require a way to vent and gripe when stressed about certain situations or persons and that's okay.
