I think he's doing too much Ketamine and was in the k-hole again. The richest man in the world thinks he's "the resistance". Against what? Himself? The best satire writes itself I guess. It's clear that he's just trying to let people believe he's on their side. But when it comes to workers rights, naaahh not part anymoree lmaaoo, only enough for edgy posting on "X" (Twitter). Then the poor people can f themselves. Or his family with the mines in africa, he comes from a rebel household. But when a family member is not like what the social expectation was 50 years ago then she will be banished and badmouthed. He's the one fighting against the system, the rich corrupt elite .... oh wait. Idk how you can reach this level of delusion. Maybe he really didn't consider the safer use rules while doing k and overdid it
Fascists' ability to miss the point is Infinite.
May a bear catch and fuck that guy forever.
Batman and Ironman are both multi zillionaires and they are part of the resistance in their stories. Of course, Musk is part of the problem, but it's easy to make the rich guy the hero of the story.
This just reminds me of a quote something like "the stories we tell says a lot about our values. The marvel movies are about superheroes who show up to save the world, then go back to their day jobs"
Ironman is at the top of society, and he sometimes uses his enormous influence to change it. Batman works from the outside in parallel to the police
Both of them primarily support the status quo. They aren't the rebellion, they're the guardians of the system. They appear when they are needed and do what they need to do before sliding back into their daily life
