Saw a bunch of Elon worshippers trying to do the “notice me senpai” dance.
Some time before Musk wanted to buy the bird app, I wrote this:
“I’ve been thinking about this for a while and have came to a realization. I call it the paradox of feudalism.
The more wealthy/powerful/famous a person is perceived to be,
the more others feel in awe,
and the more his/her supporters feel “noticed” when the leader/person pretends to reach out to the masses = results in higher levels of devotion and support.
If you ask me, this explains why Elon Musk has such a fanatical fan base (the richest man on earth shitposting like a 12-y-o and replying to random tweets from normies is a perfect way to make his supporters feel “noticed”), and why Malaysian politicians seem to enjoy plenty of support despite their ugly display of wealth.”
