Ah yeah the standard low effort copypasta canned arguments.
Go learn to write more than a copy/paste and try to understand topics moving forward yo. Pretending to be an uncaring sociopath online is like Twitter / X shit. This is Lemmy, I presume you are here because you actually give a shit about these discussions.

Lulz. If you can’t spar with me, you will get eaten up by the actual far right / mainstream Americans out there.
Be happy I’m willing to come over here and push back against your bubble. You guys obviously need it if you’re upvoting shitty misinformation memes like this.

The board of directors removes the obvious corruption argument.
And shareholders select the board of directors anyway, so if shareholders agree to new terms of values then CEOs can and will be fired.
I’m looking at Intel for example and how they mistreated Pat Gelsinger and fired him despite being a technical leader. And the new incoming CEO is Lip-Bu Tan, who is a non-technical finance bro who is worse. Why did the shareholders (and board of directors) prefer Lip-Bu Tan?
- Comment on unnecessary expense 23 hours ago:
Because today’s hero worship culture makes the mass of shareholders believe that these CEOs have skills that cannot be replicated by cheaper labor.
- Comment on unnecessary expense 1 day ago:
Exactly, except in reverse.
If you want to attract the talent of someone who has network in the millions, you need to pay them more.
- Comment on unnecessary expense 1 day ago:
The board of directors is doing so. And they do so because the board follows the will of the shareholders. And the shareholders ultimately decide the fate of companies.
But that won’t fit in a simple meme will it?
- Comment on unnecessary expense 1 day ago:
Non sequitur and you know it. Hopeless blathering hoping to find some way to make this meme correct.
Just rewrite the meme correctly from the start so that it’s actually a reflection of reality rather than a reflection of ignorance.
- Comment on unnecessary expense 1 day ago:
It’s not about better or worse. It’s about being correct and understanding the people and societal structures at work here
If you aren’t interested in knowing how and why CEOs get paid, maybe don’t make dumbass memes about this subject.
- Comment on unnecessary expense 1 day ago:
That’s literally the same power you have at work. Just leave work if you don’t like your paycheck.
Do you see how stupid that argument sounds now?

Depends on the company.
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, owns 0.02% of Apple for example. This is #1 largest company in the world.
Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, owns 0.01% of Microsoft. This is the 2nd largest company in the world.
Jensen Huang is 3.5% of NVidia a serious level of ownership but a far cry from controlling the board. 3rd largest company but the biggest shareholder is Vanguard.

A good example of the ignorance of the masses and the left
The Board of Directors selects (and pays) the CEO.
- Comment on Why is Jury Nullification a Thing, But You Can’t Talk About It in Court? 5 weeks ago:
Pretty simple. A jury is 12 rrandom-ish people (ignoring the Voir Dire process where lawyers argue about who deserves to be on the jury).
If you openly are for jury nullification, then the prosecutor will try to throw you out in the Voir Dire proces (its unfair to the prosecutor if you think that you can ignore the Prosecutor’s argument entirely). Then they select someone else to be part of the jury.

Basic psychology.
Anyone who has already decided that they like Elon (or MAGA) do not want to believe that they are the bad guy. So they will reach for even the worst of arguments to make themselves believe they aren’t the bad guy.
Remember: Nazis themselves refuse to believe the Holocaust happened. Same same really. No one wants to think of themselves as the bad guy.

Yeah, the non-existent Deep State. These fuckers are firing important people looking for ghosts and goblins.
- Comment on What ever happened to QAnon? 1 month ago:
They became the Government and are using their power to mass fire everyone to get rid of the Deep State.
Why do you think MAGA is so willing and ready to fire huge swaths of the US Government?

Did you forget about the election?
Immigrants from Springfield, Ohio are eating cats and dogs.
And now Trump is moving for mass deportations.

The fucker paid for Pennsylvania votes last election. Literally paid for them.
He grew up in Apartheid South Africa and calls his African American workers ‘Plantation’ and none of them can move up the ladder in any of his companies.

He’s pretty good at buying out the election and consolidating power.

Hitler looked better at doing it.
Elon Musk was incredibly uncoordinated in his display.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
What we have here is Elon Musk helping out on Trump’s branding.
Even Team Trump, as fascist as they are, are being run by entire teams of teams. The spokespeople are just that, speakers.

If there is a leader, any leader at all, who’d try to lead the progressive cause? And one that people would really behind?
That’d be a good first start. Even celebrities like Jack Black.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
No. I’m just aware of the need for a charismatic leader.
Civil rights had Martin Luther King. Among other leaders. The idea of doing this without leadership is the fundamental flaw.

Give me a name.

Go on. Who is the leader?

Frustrating but predictable.
Personally I’m pretty happy with how fucking awkward Elon was while doing it. The whole gif is really cringe.
