What can we do?
Vocally call him the president, and Trump the VP or first lady.
Both Trump and Musk are narcissists with massive egos, but only Trump was actually elected into a government position. If Trump’s ego gets bruised enough by hearing people think he’s Elon’s puppet, he might actually do something about it and kick him to the curb.
Precisely. That rich asshole doesn’t need to be in a position where he can use his influence to further enrich himself using taxpayer money, and this is the most effective way to do it.

Jokes aside, that might work. I’ll try it next time.
They’re pulling a Nintendo against people who support Luigi.
I thought Vance was the family pet? He’s not allowed on the couch or bed… for obvious reasons.

Game puts out 58fps instead of 60? Trash. Throw it out. Start a media campaign about how shit the devs are at their jobs
To be fair, they’re not entirely wrong about this one when it comes to current-gen games. They’re wrong for their dickish entitled opinions, but they’re not about how modern titles are requiring far more resources to run compared to the gains in visual quality.
And I’m not complaining about that because I think people are entitled to games meeting some bullshit metric like zero-latency with better-than-life quality on 8 year old hardware. For accessibility reasons, I legitimately can’t play modern “AAA” games targeting 30 frames per second. It makes me suffer from severe motion sickness, and there’s something about newer games that make them a lot worse (frame blending? Bad frame pacing?). The only thing that seems to help is running at a higher framerate, and it’s getting increasingly difficult to find big-budget games that don’t either rely on using upscaling and frame generation and/or a $1600 graphics card to achieve that.
That’s not to say the developers are bad at their jobs. Rather, the industry trend seems to be that publishers are demanding more content in less time, and games aren’t being given the time and budget needed for optimizing them before release.
Good luck explaining that to the “I got nothing to hide” crowd…
I wasn’t trying to say you weren’t. My comment was just pretext for the meme :)
Perhaps, instead of passing the full brunt of the costs onto the customers, maybe the executives and shareholders take home less profit? Maybe take a financial hit to easy the cost of living burden on the commoners?
The shareholders demand consistent returns, and the executives have a fiduciary duty to ensure that happens. In other words:
“President Musk and First Lady Trump” has a nice ring to it. Surely, that won’t hurt Trump’s ego enough to make Elon’s campaign investment backfire ;)

Reading comprehension fail?
but what the hell is this?
I thought it was either trolling or a bot trying to undermine public support for an icon representing the public’s collective hatred of the rich, but it turns out that he’s just a guy who is extremely vocal about his disabilities and activism.
His take is utterly fucking moronic and misses the point, but it doesn’t seem overtly malicious within the context of everything else he says on Xitter and BlueSky.

My, my, you’re quite the paragon of high education and intellectual integrity, aren’t you?
Why not both?
Introduce a hypothetical Tesla Backcountry, Elon’s “unique” solution for people with range anxiety. Instead of worrying about charge stations, the Backcountry can be recharged at any old gas station by filling it up with “liquid x power,” which the car burns to recharge its battery while running. It’s not a hybrid, it’s electric /s
But how would we get through to normie 12-year-olds who just want to play Valorant and not have their face constantly rubbed in the dirt by “hackers”?
I think it would be good for them to be told the truth: you aren’t being killed by hackers, you just suck.
I think it would be more fun to do the opposite and talk about him like he is the president. Trump’s ego wouldn’t be able to handle it
