How long are we going to deal with everyone using Elon as a stand-in for "super entrepreneur brain genius" in everyday conversation? (hexbear.net)

I'm so sick of hearing about this shit. Talk about space? Oh, I think we'll get to Mars because of brain genius Elon musk. Climate change? We need more entrepreneurs like brain genius Elon musk. Aspirations? Brain genius Elon musk. The world would be a lot better if we were all just a little more like brain genius Elon musk!

I already had to deal with fucking Steve Jobbs worship for decades. At least he had a turtleneck and glasses that made him look like a serial killer.

I can only explain the truth so many fucking times meow-cactus .

YES, I will derail every conversation in which he is mentioned! No, I will not hold my tongue to maintain peace! I will make sankara-shining and mao-wave proud!

Saw articles about some deepfake elon musk scam using his image to fleece some people. At first I couldn't tell if it was him because didn't he do a pyramid scheme with the whole dogecoin thing? I can't keep up with his lies

Ugh, one of my friends bought dogecoin because he heard "Elon is gonna tweet about it during the Superbowl"

Damn. A coworker was musing on it at the time. He came to his senses as it gave off a lot of pump and dump vibes. Which is surprising because he has a bad track record
