The fact that this is considered newsworthy is a big part of the problem. A lot of people say dumb shit every day, but they don't have their shit takes broadcast to the world with a huge microphone. Who gives a shit if some asshole said something stupid? Why does anyone need to hear about it? (Directed at BRICS News, not at OP, to be clear.)
The most concerning part is that there's a large part of the population that reads "Obama acts like a weak woman" and thinks "Wowww what a sick burn. This guy must be hyper intelligent and a great leader of men."
This stupid fucking reality we occupy: "Sorry, best I can do is have them shape the "western world" through media manipulation and occupy a major position of power in the US allowing their greed to run rampant. Will that suffice?"
Arguably occupying a BIGGER position of power than the fucking president. Musk has been on a tear ripping up agencies left, right, and center, and Trump doesn't seem to get how anemic he looks when he claims "oh well Musk doesn't actually have any authority to do anything" AFTER ALL THAT.
