Yea. This is exactly when I flipped on him too.
Do understand that I’m not asking about Elon, I’m asking about the media machine that’s coming after him, and pointing out that any discussion of the rather obvious and concerted effort going after the man gets shouted down by populist opinions and social media haters.
Is there no room to question the machine? Everyone seems to have the same opinions and asking, “hey, anyone else see the concerted effort to destroy this man through the media as evidence of a pretty clear coordinated system?”Just leads to obliteration on social media. It’s crazy hard to discuss the evidence of opinion engineering efforts around unpopular people without people using the opinions generated by that machine to try to silence you from questioning its existence. I mean it’s been a minute since I’ve heard a considered opinion on Elon or Tesla that wasn’t based on an article talking point, and that’s what I’m trying to talk about.
- macintux 3y agoI don’t think there’s a concerted effort in general: I think Schadenfreude is alive and well, and I’m (very) cautiously optimistic that the public is tired of bullies.
- happytiger 3y agoThat’s a well thought out take. Let’s hope because we sure have a lot of them.
