mainaccountElon Musk supports eliminating voting rights for people without children
He's not a politician and has shown no interest in being one, so why are people talking about this? So tired of seeing his face all over Lemmy/KBin

Owning a significant component of public discourse and actively pushing ideological viewpoints using it is politics. The only difference between that and being a politician is that you can't vote him out.
When you own more than most people alive collectively, it makes sense that your actions are under extra scrutiny.

This is more correct than I'd like to admin, fuck.
artisanroxWhen he wants to take away my voting rights because I dont' have any kids, he's talking politics. Have you never seen a person able to buy a Congressman who doesn't like your existence???
Just let me defederate from Elon.
Flying SquidYou don’t need to be one when you can buy them.
