He's basically the new Trump, in that for five years you could not escape Trump's fucking face on every website you visited. Perhaps Musk isn't quite that level, but he's not far off. He's in the news an insane amount, and it's basically as annoying as Trump, only he's not as ugly or stupid.
Elon is Desantis. Like him or not, Trump makes great TV. Its like the best thriller ever created. Elon is fine when other people talk about him. But when he's on TV, he's boring just like Ron. He's got no personality.
These people gotta worship someone because they lack any sort of self identity of their own and critical thinking skills.
They need a leader to tell them what to do.
Are you assuming there's so much bad coverage of Musk because people worship him? It's almost always dunking on how much of an idiot he is and hoping he loses lots of money.
I understand it can be legitimately annoying to hear about some people repeatedly, but when the discourse is about how awful those people are, you're better off just not clicking the link. Let people who want to eat popcorn at the circus do so and leave the circus.
I still see Trumps face everywhere, though primarily on left wing media. Oddly enough, I see it there more than I do on right wing media. (Gotta see what both sides are saying, the truth is in the middle somewhere)
