How long are we going to deal with everyone using Elon as a stand-in for "super entrepreneur brain genius" in everyday conversation?

I'm so sick of hearing about this shit. Talk about space? Oh, I think we'll get to Mars because of brain genius Elon musk. Climate change? We need more entrepreneurs like brain genius Elon musk. Aspirations? Brain genius Elon musk. The world would be a lot better if we were all just a little more like brain genius Elon musk!
I already had to deal with fucking Steve Jobbs worship for decades. At least he had a turtleneck and glasses that made him look like a serial killer.
I can only explain the truth so many fucking times 
.
YES, I will derail every conversation in which he is mentioned! No, I will not hold my tongue to maintain peace! I will make 
and 
proud!
I swear that somehow stupidity became extremely concentrated after the proliferation of Elon and Tesla in the mid-late 2010s.
I don't know a single person who likes Elon
I think you need better people in your life
The fact that capitalists love him so much speaks volumes about how inherently stupid this system is
On a level plain, simple mounds look like hills; and the insipid flatness of our present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its great intellects.

Oh to be so rich and to be so dull and hollow inside to crave... more yachts. And more private jets. And more... what? Islands?
Until he's not wealthy anymore. Money is by far the thing people respect the most
In case anyone was wondering why I regularly post
to The_Dunk_Tank, it's because I lived so close to the imperial core of the Bazinga Empire that I had to hear the Super Entrepreneur Brain Genius shit every. Fucking. Day. Offline and in person. Coworkers, strangers, sometimes just obnoxious shit like a chalk scribbling on a sign on the sidewalk making a twee reference to Le Epic SpaceX, shit like that.I'm glad to be somewhere where I only recently saw a few ZYBERTRUKKKs and otherwise haven't been proselytized to about
whatsoever. Still, the sheer cult of insufferably smug computer touchers around him still disgusts me.Electoralism is a fuck, but if
can somehow snatch victory from the usual Democratic habit of getting defeated, I'll still take some schadenfreude comfort in the Super Entrepreneur Brain Genius eating shit and being excluded from whatever big political backrooms the other billionaires that are less visibly obnoxious will otherwise be invited to. He's hitched his wagon way too tightly lately in an all-in gamble on 
. He probably won't ever go to jail because too rich and too white and too connected 
but I expect at least some further decrease in his completely undeserved reputation then.Whenever anyone brings him up in a positive context in real life, I mock them. I'm not normally that sort of person, but pointing and laughing at someone being an idiot is sometimes the only way to get them to stop. Thankfully my friend circle doesn't really have any Elon Musk stans, and quite a few of them have family or friends who fell into the Musk cult, so they're even more sick of hearing about him than I am.
Saw articles about some deepfake elon musk scam using his image to fleece some people. At first I couldn't tell if it was him because didn't he do a pyramid scheme with the whole dogecoin thing? I can't keep up with his lies
Ugh, one of my friends bought dogecoin because he heard "Elon is gonna tweet about it during the Superbowl"
Damn. A coworker was musing on it at the time. He came to his senses as it gave off a lot of pump and dump vibes. Which is surprising because he has a bad track record
with physical violence
He's now openly supporting Trump, so I think libs are going to turn on him for good because of their hatred of Orange Man Cheeto Drumpf. They can pretty much brush everything else under the rug because ”he's done so much good” or whatever, but this'll be a step too far. You could point out that sharing antisemitic conspiracy theories and transphobia is equally bad, but libs aren't exactly morally consistent.
Oh yeah, and they'll probably come up with some nonsense theory about how the Muskrat is Russia's pawn too.
