Probably because he doesn’t want to spend all of eternity burning in the lake of fire, heathen.

Really though, I've seen a large volume of reactions to that meme, mostly negative. I don't really have a strong opinion of the meme, personally, but I can't help but notice how much it matters to people that the concept of that meme is correct or incorrect.

If you don't get the significance of this post you basically have jo clue what is going on in your country. That post epitomizes the agenda of a populus right wing movement that is taking over. It is a completely false point for that matter, one that aims to discredit to discredit the progressive movement at large And the fact that the worlds richest man, has gone completely partisan on these issues is significant. Elon just bought twitter and plains to change it with these ideals in mind.

So maybe Reid doesn't understand any of this but I think it's worse than that. I think he understands it and is downplaying it's significance because he is ok with it. And if people like Reid are swinging this way I think it is a sign that hope is basically lost.

For that matter, most of the people in this thread seem to have no issues here.

Everything you say is cringe for me. Very try hard stuff. Stop trying to match up against me. It's not doing you any favors.

Take down the avatar, tree_, I'm telling you. This isn't you, you will regret this one day. Also the avatar is offensive.

Your idea of Elon as a symbol is silly

Yeah, it so silly to contemplate one of the richest and influential people alive as a symbol.

Read his fuckin twitter. He is using his platform to symbolize some very specific ideology. This isn't a joke. Why do you assume such benevolence on the richest man in the world. What in the f*ck?
