For as much as the reddit/Lemmy communities claim to hate Elon they talk about him constantly.
Elon 2028
Hard to not talk about a train wreck.
Especially if the train somehow managed to dismantle tracks that is going to run on.
News sites talk about news. That includes things that people don't like.
It's kind of like saying:
-Those guys on reddit sure do talk about Walmart taking advantage of their workers even though they hate capitalism
-Climate activists talk about climate change a lot, I thought they hated it?
-Why does fox news spend so much time hating on democrats? Don't they know that they aren't supposed to talk about stuff they disagree with?
Elon doesn't have to be liked to be relevant.
We used to get this bullshit all the time on r/atheism on Reddit. "You guys sure talk about religion/God a lot for atheists." What the fuck else are a bunch of atheists getting together going to talk about, baseball?
You do realize he was born in South Africa so is therefore ineligible to hold the office of President right?
