The poll shows that public views of Musk are increasingly polarized, with Republican support of the billionaire rising while Democratic support falls.

Elon Musk’s support among Democrats has withered to a new low as he has embraced Republican politics, according to a national NBC News poll

Only 6% of Democrats in the poll, which was conducted Sept. 13-17, said they had positive feelings about Musk, while 79% said they had negative feelings. The numbers were flipped for Republicans, with 62% having positive feelings toward him and 14% negative feelings. Independents were split, 31% to 36%. 

The poll shows that views of Musk are increasingly polarized, reflecting the transformation of his public image in recent years from that of an environmentally aware automaker crusading against fossil fuels to that of a conservative activist aligned with former President Donald Trump.

Why do these people keep looking at the Matrix as a manual instead of a warning?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

One of my super tinfoil theories is that all mainstream science/speculative fiction is a psyop not meant to warn, but to desensitise us to the dystopia.

Obviously, that would just seem crazy...

I was about to post a snarky reply about Star Trek as the exception, and then realized their bioconservatives won the "Eugenics Wars".

Qanon is all about the galactic federation, if you didn't already know.

It's a little confusing because the image is cropped.

Sorry, yeah, it would make more sense if you could see the yeti, samsquanch, Elvis overlord section.

Behind the Bastards recently did a two-parter on Yarvin with Ed Helms as a guest. It’s depressing but good, as per usual.

The Boring Company, fuck them, too.

I'm guessing there's some story with spa sex? "Elon Spa Sex" isn't a search term I'm willing to enter.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Pretty sure it’s an autocorrected “SpaceX”

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Or just a pun that went over my head. Either way, thanks for the answer!
