That's who Elon wants on his side, so I'm not sure why this is even news.

Tbh at this point I'm convinced articles like this are just life support trying to claw back as many Musk dick riders back into normies.

It's good work, and I think it should be done, but yeah, this is exactly what a sane person would expect to see given all the context.

It's not news to most, but to the audience that I think this sort of thing is going after, it genuinely might be news to them.

Not that this article alone would get anyone to drop their fanboy bs, but it seems like it's intended to be a tool to facilitate that. As for why it's here specifically in world news, probably in case anyone wants to use it as a facilitation tool for anyone in their lives. Can't use what you don't know exists and all that lol

Yeah pretty much, this isn't accomplishing anything. Anyone who still can't see the fascist empire for what it is at this point will never see it.

Elon Musk is still a mixed bag in the broader public. There is still a lot of messaging to get out there and that will help people realize what he is. Not everyone is as terminally online as we are lol
