"He's not a fascist, he's just a contrarian" they say, as he threatens to jail his own employees and also random scientists
@dfeldman A man of Musk's stature in society can never be a fascist. The media gatekeepers of the polite world will continue to move the goalposts as far as they have to in order to enforce this simple dictate. It is axiomatic: The ultra-wealthy can never be evil, and probably not even garden variety bad. The media types live in a sharply oligarchic social bubble and will twist themselves into completely impossible shapes to avoid seeing their lives or their roles for what they are.
@Chimneyswift @dfeldman There's a sad misconception among some people that the wealthy are smarter, kinder, compassionate & are being monetarily rewarded for these characteristics. The dfg cast and crew were the most glaring example of the exact common opposite, yet this fable still has steam for them.
