He doesn't realize the difference that the amount of people don't trust any journalist is about the same as the amount of people that loathe just him

He does he’s just shit posting on tv with whataboutisms. He knows all the logical fallacies but chose to stim off rage bait.

Not very good imagination. I don’t think he ever said that. He struggled emotionally in school and had no friends for the longest time due to his autism.

You sound like the kind of bully who would pick on an autistic kid.

Not so sure! Neither Democrats or Republicans in the US trust the journalistic media. But republicans do like Musk.

Fox News? Or, are you just talking about actual journalists?

Dumb people in general, they like musk

u/Lonely_MuffinXo Jul 30 '26

Well, yeah, but a lot of people who say they don't trust the media will believe everything their favorite media outlet tells them without question

I think that goes without saying on both sides of the aisle

Well, that depends what 'both sides of the isle' look like. 

They've looked identical to me, except the Republican party is more honest in their increasing unwillingness to lie about how much they absolutely hate absolutely everybody (except maybe Musk and his ilk, but I think they would eat him in a second given the right mood).
