Yes because Lemmy is so full of people praising Elon. Couldn't be because you're acting like an ass.
(a) There were far fewer detractors of Musk 10 years ago. I thought he was pretty cool for trying to make spaceships and electric cars. Yes of course there were plenty of signs, and I should have noticed them. Besides that, one could also be forgiven for not thinking he was literally a fascist back then.
(b) What major company isn't headed by someone on the asshole spectrum somewhere? There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but we still need cars since we ripped up all our train tracks.
No, Musk was a leftist 10 years ago. I saw posts on Twitter of him defending LGBT. He completely went crazy maybe 5-6 years back and went full MAGA. I suspect it was his girlfriend of 4 years dumping him.
Mush was never a fucking "leftist." He was born extremely wealthy to a family that owned an emerald mine. He's done nothing but exploit people his entire life.
His Twitter posts say otherwise. When he trolled back in the day, he trolled Republicans.
Here was his turning point. In 2020, standing in an LGBT friendly company he mocked those same people he once defended.
I agree it all could have been an act before this point ... but the fact remains even if it was ... he actually cared enough to act back then.
Trolling is not a political ideology
Which might be the case, but not entirely grounds for punching someone.

See a Nazi punch a Nazi is what they were reffering to.
While woning a Tesla is problematic it isnt grounds for outright violance.
