Reading this I realised I found the way Elon Musk tweets annoying in a similar way to how I find all these corporations annoying— I don’t know if it’s even about them not being humans to me; as Elon Musk is indeed a human.

It’s just that they go “hey, I’m just like you!” And I think “no, you’re not. You are the richest man in the world, or a disembodied entity which maximises shareholder value.” It’s a bit uncomfortable either way

definitely get that, too. i think most other billionaires have the decency not to be so overt about themselves, a problem in itself, but elon musk parading himself on twitter is just… well distasteful is the kinder wording

Oh yeah. Musk’s ‘how do you do, fellow kids?’ energy is off the charts.

the personification of corporations has been a huge contributor towards social media becoming a shell of its former self. i’ve been off socials for most of this year and the few times i’ve been tempted to look back i see a ton of shit like this and happily shut it back off.
