The amount of Americans that think musk should have any influence in govt spending is wild

I think the problem is a vast majority of the American people still believe that old Reagan line "the worst thing you can hear is I'm from the government and I'm here to help" or whatever that geriatric ghoul said.
The majority of people hold a propaganda fueled belief that the government is wasteful and ineffective and inefficient at doing things and so when they hear someone is going to find ways to fix that they mistakenly believe that it is coming from place of honesty and not the bald faced lie it actually is. They (Elon Musk and his sickos) just want to gut government to do whatever they want without any hindrance. If they have to ruin the lives of 200 million in the bottom 75%, well that's a price they'll happily pay.

This is so fucking funny dude, so many humans are so easily manipulated. They really will just put their full trust into whatever the fuck some person they like says.
- ACKTSCZSCHTCHYUALLY, what you're seeing in the picture is a poll of only a few thousand people. That means that 334,983,892 people in the country didn't vote on this poll and thus it holds no significance. We can't possibly know how the rest of the populace would have voted! :i-am-very-smart:

American sentiment is extremely malleable right up until the moment people start getting irrevocably fucked over en masse. If Elon fucks up everyone’s tax returns, these numbers will plummet and everyone will be confused as to why the thing they supported fucked them over.
- But the propaganda machine (run by the same people who are aligned with Trump and Elon) will put the blame for shit inevitably going wrong on trans people/black people/Muslims/Jews/immigrants/socialists/antifa/whomever the right wants their voters to be scared of.
  Americans in general are too cucked to doubt the people they worship.

Most Americans thought highly of musk up until his nazi salute. Even then most of them refuse to acknowledge that’s what it was. Liberals and Conservatives alike are eager to ignore the blatant fascism as long as they can still watch the Super Bowl commercials in peace.
- The average Americans thoughts on Elon before the Nazi salute was “You’ll be having a great day, the sun is shining, birds are chirping, and then you see a Cyber Truck coming to piss you off.”
  
  I think we gotta remember we're in an online bubble here. "Normies", for lack of a better term, don't really experience the same cycles of cringe and based as online weirdos like us do. There's people out there who still like Rick and Morty and Big Bang Theory, there's people who don't have any idea what Elon posts on Twitter, they just know him as based rocketship man.

burger brain fucks
the latest
breaks this down nicely for those interested. The media framing of Elon running amok has been to assume he and his org are "good faith actors, trying to find inefficiencies" rather than what it really is: a right-wing white nationalist takeover and purging of nearly every institution in the govt

not even half of democrats could agree that musk shouldnt be allowed anywhere near yall government, controlled opposition ahh country

it hasn't been very long, i think most of them will change their minds in a year.

Well, according to my made up facts 100% of corporate sponsored polls are bullshit. It's too bad 100% of people don't believe that.
