Is he taken seriously? Most of the stuff he says is ridiculed.

But it is published and spread. That's the part that is truly damaging

He still has a substantial amount of sheep behind him unfortunately.

Far-right activists from Argentina praise everything he says. The current president constantly talks about him like some sort of deity. It's sickening.

Beware the echo chamber.

My entire family and social group pays more attention to him than our prime minister. They get notifications on their phones anytime he tweets. When he tweets, all their phones light up and they drop everything they’re doing to check it and read it out loud/discuss it. I hate it.

I’m the only one around that I know of that doesn’t do this and it’s gotten me the nickname of “musk hater” simply because I don’t do that.
