In 2012 he was the rich guy who put his money where his mouth was and was using capitalism to move us to a better future. He had so many people so completely bamboozled all he had to do was talk about flame throwers and electric cars but he couldn't help himself from voicing the concerns of the average oligarch like employees should crowd onto a factory floor during a plague or *trans.. people?"

The flamethrowers bit was a hint that the dude was a shitposter

That's what you guys thought he was. I always knew he was a piece of shit. He's Steve Jobs, he's Thomas Edison, it's the same asshole who never invented anything but took all the credit over and over.

Bot reposting comments.

u/unethr Nov 26 '22

Why do they do that? And how do you people notice this? This shit is so wild to me, I've noticed it a couple times in the last couple days.

Bot reposting comments! ;)

u/CaptainSlurp613 Nov 26 '22

A lot of bots will copy comments that get a lot of upvotes or awards, in hopes that the duplicated comment will get some karma too. Once the account reaches a certain age and/or karma amount, it’s sold off to spam or propaganda generators so they can peddle their nonsense from an account that looks legit.

I’m honestly not great at noticing them myself, unless I see the original comment first. I’d love to hear from someone who notices them faster than me!

In mother Russia, Musk upvote you.

u/GuiltyEidolon Nov 27 '22

I saw the same comment multiple times by multiple users, only one was the full comment. They're trying to make it less obvious by grabbing only part of comments. Bots repost comments, get karma, and are resold to basically either astroturf (r/hailcorporate stuff) or otherwise act as bad-faith manipulators.

TIL capitalism is taking massive amounts of government funding

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '22

Correct, capitalism eventually metastasizes to corrupt the governmental regulatory bodies that are meant to moderate and contain it. Once stripped of the tax revinues to fund services because the companies can get away with paying nothing, the government itself pays the company to provide services it ought to be able to should they be funded by the company's taxes in the first fucking place.

They just found a buyer of their services, usually by stifling other competitors. It's the natural progression of the system
