New Polling Confirms Most Americans Do Not Like Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg
Technology billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are not liked by most Americans, according to new polling released on Wednesday.
Seriously, who ever liked Mark Zuckerberg? Elon seemed likeable early on, but who thought Zuckerberg was someone to look up to? Facebook was initially a website to decide which girl was the most fuckable in your college class.
I did when I was an early teenager, I practically worshipped Steve Jobs as well. I thought Silicon Valley was objectively bringing humanity forward into a new era of happiness and egalitarian prosperity. Then I started reading and learning not to accept what manipulative people say at face value. You know, growing up. So many people never make it to the “growing up” part.
But people liked Facebook when it initially became mainstream. And they made a movie about zuck where he was painted as some comp sci genius and great entrepreneur. That was so long ago though.
Its astonishing that almost half the population of the USA continues, in every poll, to rate Donald Trump and Elon Musk favourably. And this is after Musk's triumphant angry Nazi salutes. People say that fascists are a small minority in the USA, but the polls suggest otherwise.
I'm surprised Zuckerberg is more disliked than Elron. Though Zucker has done some weird shit lately taking Facebook culture right wing, he's been way less of a public pain in the ass than Musk. He's been widely known as a dislikable figure for longer though.
Musk has fanboys, Zuck doesn't
Evidence of systemic bootlicking right here
Musk’s numbers aren’t so bad :(
Don't worry. Soon it will be illegal to dislike Elon Musk.
He who saves his country does not violate any law.
Once your required neurolink is installed, it won’t need to be illegal.
I still support them... fighting.
Man that was such a stupid flash in the pan. Also you know you’re a real loser when Mark fucking Zuckerberg makes you look like a bitch.
I mean, soulless alien lizard or not, Zuks still pretty shredded
The cool thing is, you can affect these people directly.
Don't use Meta products.
Don't use X.
Don't buy a Tesla.
Don't get Starlink.
SpaceX is a conundrum since they aren't really selling things directly to consumers, but still, for the most part here, people can vote with their wallets and their time. (Sadly they won't, but they can).
True with most things. Although facebook creates shadow profiles for everybody, through websites with the tracking pixels. It allows them to "market" toward people that don't even have registered FB accounts. Diabolical stuff
I always assumed they scraped people’s phones / address books / contacts to get info on people who never even use Facebook.
Even if all of Lemmy did this, it wouldn’t be noticeable.
me giving an eight minute answer about how there is no creature in the karmic cycle of rebirth more deserving of contempt, devoid of the most basic essential life force that binds all other creatures on earth, wouldn't spit on if on fire, continued failure to be devoured by locusts basically single-handedly disproving the existence of a just creator, etc.
researcher: ok I'm gonna put that down as Strongly Disagree
not I. char broiled.
Shouldn't have voted for them then.
"But I voted for Trump, not Musk. If only Trump knew what was going on. Yes, they are taking my farm and deporting my wife, but that's just a mistake. Okay, it wasn't a mistake, but I am ready to suffer, for my king president and country. Okay, that country is going down the shitter, but that's because the migrants and left sabotaged my emperor!"
No shit
You could tell me the most awful depraved fucked up shit in human history was conducted on these people and I’d just want to see photographs to confirm they’re fucking dead.
But most of them like Trump? Fuck every single one of them.
