Isn't it really creepy that a unelected billionaire for a tech company is towering over the President?

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

We're literally living in a movie plot right now... "Evil billionaire attempts to overthrow a government and use it for global domination."
If this were a movie the bad guys would be obvious to everyone, but since we have the scum of the earth: propagandists, it's harder for a not insignificant portion of the country to realize it...
Yes I hate Trump and Musk, but even more I fucking loath the fox news primetime peanut gallery and the like, the Hannity's, Ingram's, Carlson's, etc... I wish nothing but the most excruciatingly painful slow deaths on them for what they've done to the population.
Even in the movies the bad guys have minions. They don't know their boss is that evil. Here in real life, I'm pretty sure they know and are actively promoting it.
I think the bigger problem than cable news is social media. Billionaires get to decide the lense through which everybody sees the world. And social media makes that lense appear clear and unobstructed, but it’s very much distorted to benefit the people in power.
