    I’m surprised Zuckerberg is more disliked than Elron. Though Zucker has done some weird shit lately taking Facebook culture right wing, he’s been way less of a public pain in the ass than Musk. He’s been widely known as a dislikable figure for longer though.

      Zuck never cared to develop a following like Musk, so it makes sense that’s there is a not broad passive level of dislike.

      Not surprised to see that the intense dislike is much higher for Musk though.

        That’s a good point. Zucker has a higher amount of dislike vs. intense dislike.

      Musk at least tried to pretend to be one of the “cool and good” billionares. Making fun tech, cool cars, the real world Tony Stark. Zuck never did.

      And now Musk’s fans are licking his boots with Trump for a penny to trickle down to them.

        Zucker kinda somewhat tried to do that with the “metaverse” thing. He pulled it off very poorly and it was a stupid idea in the first place, though.

      He’s also already told Trump publicly what he expects from him in terms of legislation and policy, he very obviously in the ‘you took the money, now do what I say’ camp.

        There’s something ongoing, though. If Trump didn’t think he needed him still, or didn’t have some reason he’s forced to keep him around, he’d just tell Musk to fuck offsame as how he fires appointees, doesn’t follow through on other contracts and stiffs people on bills.
