From Steve Jobs to Elon Musk.
I can admit they have done good things and are passionate people who are furthering various fields by investing heavily in them. I have and still use their products and really enjoy them. But any critique however big or small is met by this rabid almost cult like following.
I just came across this video by Time magazine.
Its not clickbait. At least not to me. The dude talks in a very calm manner about how being in the spotlight affects you and people are always listening etc. Yet it has thousands of dislikes and the comments are filled with people demanding that Time delete the video and not insult Elon Musk. How he is a force of good for humanity, the media is fake news so on and on..
I just don't get this at all. This is a billionaire who's here to make money for his companies. Maximize profits. He makes some nice products sure, but he aint no saint. He's not your friend. Yet even if u look at him the wrong way you get attacked for it. Its so absurd. Ive seen some people say the same shit about Jeff Bezos when critizied about horrible working conditions at Amazon warehouses. How he is creating jobs at the end of the day and pioneering how we shop and deliveries. Seriously? This cult of personality around people who do not give a shit about you besides your money is just baffling.
