Who here exactly stood up for Elon musk? I came to Lemmy almost two years ago and I haven’t seen it here
Comment on Musk shares post that Hitler didn’t kill millions, public workers did. Union rages

Took you guys over a decade to get here. Thank you for listening to me and mocking me and calling me a ludite because I hated Elon Musk and everything he represented. Also, visit Thunderfoot’s youtube channel, apologise and thank him for his activism.

You’re so right. You saw Elon for what he was when literally every other person on earth thought he was awesome until 2 months ago.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE BRAVE WARRIOR 07

You’re pretending to be sarcastic because you know how pathetic it is that you’re unironically saying this shit

Why do you feel so positive about Thunderf00t? The guy is supposed to be a physicist and does not even think about the squared cube law. He got full of his own shit once he became popular many years ago.

He’s a chemist.

Any scientist should know about such an extremely basic thing.
If the does not even have the slightest idea about what he is talking about, he needs to shut the fuck up. But he does not and people believe him.

you gotta be joking, thunderf00t is among the most unbearable, ignorant, most self-assured assholes going. he harassed random women for having opinions he disagreed with for years.

Even if you came across his current videos completely unaware of his history, his content has gotten progressively worse - at least his Musk stuff (the only thing of his I’ve tried watching recently). All of his Elon Musk videos are bloated with recycled memes, repeating the same points, and congratulating himself on how smart/right he is. It’s insufferable even if you dont know his ugly personal views and history.

i’m european, i used to be a fan of thunderf00t too. but he became really really bad, he was an alt-right troll for awhile, and only really split from the rest of the pack because they didn’t agree with him about brexit.
he is a pathetic, ignorant, quote-mining bigot who should be completely forgotten. being right about elon musk is a stopped clock being right twice a day situation. there are plenty of other channels which did a far better job of pointing out elon’s grifts without also posting 3,000 videos about how anita sarkeezian is the anti-christ

You’re most likely not European.
The fact you don’t put Anita and Elon in the same bag, US grifters, tells me all I need to know. Anita is a blundering idiot that grifted a bunch of parasites into a market that should have never existed. Instead of using Alanah Pearce (Lawd has she been harassed) Lucy James and the like, that actually work in the field and know the ACTUAL problems rather than creating rage bate to cash in on victim points. She and the much maligned sweet baby were consulting on games that were subcontracting slavelike labour in Indonesia and other SE Asian countries during their consulting. Most of the victims at those places were women. Grifters gonna grift! Sarkeesian and her ilk have done nothing for the feminist movement (which I’m a part of), worse, they set us back decades. She left all blue collar women on whom the lion’s share of injustice falls upon, behind. She could have addressed the preponderance of women in QA and community management and how that disproportionately makes them more likely to be laid off. How also in gaming, they make less for the same work. How career progress is usually limited by patriarchal hierarchical organisations in AAA studios. Fuck that noise, feminism is bitching about a bald dude killing some nuns in spandex in a videogame. She ignored the real issues because those were very likely to avoid her getting hired to consult on games as the C types don’t really like left wing talking points flying around the office. Fucking bougie causes.
