    “The image about what the billionaire psycho is saying isn’t really about what the billionaire psycho is saying.”

    That’s not how this works.

      Musk: “Don’t kill puppies”

      You: I’m going to kill so many fucking puppies

      This is where we are at right now. Yes we do know Musk is a bad guy, but even bad people can say good things.

      Having robots labor for us would be great, just because Musk said thay doesn’t make it evil. But because Musk said it we can infer he has some additional motives, but the statement itself is still a good thing

      Like we don’t have to be this unnecessarily absolute and obtuse about things.

        I already said that there’s an actual good version of post-scarcity, good try though. And letting wolves in sheep’s fur lead you into the slaughterhouse because they put up a sign that says “Utopia” is just going to doom you and everyone else.

          Good try, but I don’t think I ever said blindly follow Musk. That’s an assumption you made

          I already said that there’s an actual good version of post-scarcity

          Why are we arguing?

          No one’s trying anything but telling you to try logic. We may even agree that Musk is full of shit, but goddamn the failure at logic is cringe.

      OP had plenty of opportunity to write exactly what they meant. Responding to the meaning of words is exactly how this works.

      Rejecting an idea as stated because you don’t like the source is genetic fallacy. Basically

      you: MUSK BAD: THEREFORE, EVERYTHING MUSK SAY BAD

      Musk: 1+1=2

      you: BAD

      You know how moronic your comments look with this shit?

      All we need is Musk to profess a love for Marxism-Leninism for tankies to swear off it on lemmy.
