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!

Whenever anyone brings him up in a positive context in real life, I mock them. I'm not normally that sort of person, but pointing and laughing at someone being an idiot is sometimes the only way to get them to stop. Thankfully my friend circle doesn't really have any Elon Musk stans, and quite a few of them have family or friends who fell into the Musk cult, so they're even more sick of hearing about him than I am.
