They are desperate to be cool, it's so cringe.

I think it's much sadder (more sad? saddest) that people fall for such absurd douche bags. If they would at least be sexy and seem smart you could understand how people could be fooled but this is just too hard to watch.

Yeah like, they have negative charisma, so it's extra baffling. I cannot imagine a world in which I'd support Donald Trump, but definitely not in this one where he routinely shits his own diaper. If he was only disgusting mentally but was a good speaker or handsome or whatever, it would make at least a little more sense

I think they relate better to douchey, stupid people which allows them to more easily imagine themselves being rich one day.

Negative charisma means they can't be the anti-christ! So we're golden! Tada!

So like, if instead of musk and zuckerburg, it were a 1990s George Clooney? The smug bastard....

I'll hate him just as much… but damn does he look good doing it.

Propoganda fucking works, simple as that

Billionaires just buy good press and publicists to manage their image, it's so effective they believe it themselves

People will kiss anyone's ass for enough money.
