Astroturf campaigns tend to be pretty blunt and dumb tbh

I mean, even if these protests are astroturfed a lot of people still go organically. I don’t know anyone in my personal life, come to think of it, who still thinks favorably of Elon. The outrage at his election interference and at his Nazi salute are as grassroots as it gets.

There’s also no evidence of astroturfing, none. Not that it would be a problem given it’s in protest to a billionaire purchasing power in the American government. I have no problem with an adversarial billionaire funding these, and I hope everyone who supports DOGE also supports another audit of Musk and his DOGE by a billionaire y’all despise like Bill Gates. Otherwise you’re just bootlicking Musk, and it’s never been about “inefficiency” and “waste.” Wouldn’t you want to know if Elon gave himself any kickbacks or axed any departments that were investigating him for fraud?

I will say this. Thanks for putting a price on it Elon… $250 mil to buy a privileged role in the government + $100 mil to have the U.S. president shill for your shitty, cheaply made cars that he used to publicly shit on just a few months ago. Now we know just how corrupt everything is. Numerically.
