Anyone who kept respecting Elon Musk after he accused that cave rescue guy of being a pedophile is likely not thinking rationally about it

That was def the moment I went from being neutral to thinking "hey this guy sucks ass, fuck this dude"
You are wasting your time. Evidence is for people who want to be convinced.
If this is actually important, don't push them to adopt your conception, interrogate theirs. Find the contradictions and insist they explain them away. Keep reminding them of the inconsistencies in their own claims. Force them to confront them instead of moving the goalposts. Record every concession and don't allow them to backslide.
A motivated believer will hold out for a long time because they risk losing a part of themselves. Is this really how you want to spend your time?
I recommend posting a montage of teslas and rockets exploding
Not sure if you can dude. This guy is willing himself into this perspective and only they can bring themselves out of it.
I work harder than you ever will bro, at shitposting.
If your friend still thinks Elon is a genious after all this time and all the shit Elon has done, he's either really stupid or he's trolling you. Don't spend any effort in convincing him.
14 hours a day, ha!
Maybe I'm being defeatist but I feel like someone who is still a Musk stan in 2023 is so high on Dunning Kruger effect there's little hope for them lmao
I know, I was so shocked I was unable to think of anything to say in the moment
Its like someone pointing to a tree and saying "thats a dog"
