Yeah, Lemmy is crazily echo-chambered. If you don’t actively shit on Elon for absolutely everything he does (be it good or bad) you get downvoted and called a bigot.
Why can’t people be normal and shit on Elon for bad stuff and praise him for good stuff.
There is not a single person in the world that is 100% good or 100% bad - everyone is on the spectrum and even the worst people have certain good aspects (and the best people have shit aspects).
I would agree that some of his businesses are doing well, but I would give more credit to the scientists and engineers making it happen. We found out shortly after the election that he had almost no involvement in SpaceX lately in fact.
He does get some credit for actually gathering those people and starting the companies sure, however all the insane things he’s done and is doing have really heavily undercut all of it for most people, myself included. I was a fan of his until he completely without evidence accused some diver of being a pedophile just because they didn’t want to use his awful “submersible” to rescue those Thai children years back.
Exactly, I hate him for who he is and most of what he does but the $100million USD contest to sequester carbon permanently is a fantastic thing to sponsor as we must remove carbon from the cycle and not just store it in trees.
And my point is proven. You literally said you hate him but you still got downvoted cuz you mentioned some good about him.
I’m serious! This is a helluva echo chamber. They literally downvoted you for not hating him hard enough. It’s comical!
The sad part is I bet most who downvoted me don’t understand how critically important carbon sequestering is. We can’tjust plant trees. We need to permanently remove all of the carbon from the cycle that has been introduced since industrialization began.
I haven’t looked into it deeply so I don’t really know how important it is but I know one thing: Lemmy people would rather see double the CO2 than admit Elon has positive aspects.

I’m struggling to think of good stuff to praise him for.
I mean, he is pushing a lot of good tech forward. He is also fighting against bureaucracy and for freedom of speech.

He didn’t start any of his companies, he just bought all of them (maybe the exception is the boring company)
he’s doing none of that
