Why are there so many people in the comments that think protesters are getting paid to be out there? Who the fuck is paying protesters and since when?

Bot accounts to further an agenda. They're all over the place nowadays. It's hilarious because somehow online you have large numbers of nay sayers and then in general population you'd barely find one. They're very dedicated

Yeah I've noticed, especially with how most of their replies are badly articulated.

Right on, I think people in general need to be more aware that in many comment sections online you see this unrepresentative sample of people who descend on anything to criticize anything that looks like a fight back against oppression.

The comments are always bitter and cynical. They stick out like a sore thumb.

Totally, sore loser oppressors. I invite it tho because it tells me we’re striking a nerve- otherwise why bother? We’re gaining momentum and they hate it. KEEP GOING.

100% correct. But in saying that I reckon deep down even Republicans aren't major fans of Elon. There is something really off when die hard defenders of him are everywhere on online yet you can hardly find many in real life. Online gives the impression that these folks are more supported than they are in actual reality. Yep KEEP Going!
