About 20% of America thinks Bill Gates put microchips in the COVID vaccine.
- Retric 4y agoThat seems unlikely, that’s about the rate people give silly answers to pollsters. The study by YouGov in conjunction with The Economist has found that 30-44-year-olds are most likely to believe this widely debunked conspiracy, with 7% of people from this age group saying that it is "definitely true" and 20% of them saying it is "probably true.

You also just quoted something that backs up what I said? Look, in no way am I saying polls are perfect but almost every metric imaginable says Elon is not the most unpopular billionaire by a long shot. There’s not a huge conspiracy against Musk specifically, people just don’t like power-hungry billionaires. Nobody cares about Bernard Arnault because he doesn’t really pose an existential threat. High fashion will continue to do the same thing they’ve always done 0 - https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/2020/05/26/republicans-democrats-misinformation https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/20...
