    It’s like cutting USAID because “it doesn’t benefit Americans.” Well, it does (capitalists anyway), but I do wonder, again, if Elon/Trump are too fucking stupid (again… yes…) to actually know what “soft power” is.

    Musk bought one of the biggest consent manufacturing mechanisms in the US and he drove it into the ground. He couldn’t even subtly make himself more popular by elevating posts about him, he needed to shove his own posts in front of everybody’s face. Dude has no idea what he’s doing.
