      I can think of a few ways.

      I’d need him to sign a waiver, though.

    Having a midlife crisis and suddenly dressing like you’re really into the world’s shittiest rap-rock band generally doesn’t endear you with the public. Especially not when you’re laying people off by the tens of thousands.

    100% this kind of techbro need to be cool and liked is one of the main drivers behind why our nation is fucked right now. Zuck, Musk and all of the other guys flipped right when people called them out on legitimate bullshit because they could find easy validation among the MAGA rubes, MRA choads, and conspiracy nutters. They sold out their platforms and the country for a tiny dose of external validation. Fragile little man-children.

    From TFA:

    So, while Zuck may be playing the part of the cool guy, Americans haven’t been fooled by his gold chains or musical ambitions, it seems.

    Yet they’ve been fooled by a fat orange fascist buffoon. Go figure…

      The difference is that Zuckerberg is pretending to be a Totally Cool Dude^TM, whereas Trump is authentically a psychopath manbaby moron. People are very good at detecting inauthenticity.

      31% of Americans voted for Trump. And less than half of American voters voted for him.

      The reason we have this geriatric Hitler in power is due to corruption. It’s not the American people as a whole being fooled, it’s the American people as a whole being oppressed.

        I don’t often see this stance taken on here — where victim blaming might be seen by many internationally as “punching up” due to former US hegemony — but I agree.

        It’s not only more technically accurate, it’s more useful knowledge in terms of what actions must next be taken, because anyone from any country who thinks this phenomenon is purely American is in for a rude awakening.

        The crisis and its roots are global. The solution must likewise be global. I just hope history shows that Americans pulled their weight in the coming global struggle that has only just begun.

    I don’t think a PR blitz is going to change many peoples mind about snuggling up to a giant piece of shit. A turd is a turd.
