44? Wow. His only qualification is that he's a lunatic trump fanatic who will do whatever Trump asks.

Also, nearly one in 10 U.S. adults identifies as L.G.B.T.Q.

Seems relevant? New York Times Pitchbot time here.

There's something ongoing, though. If Trump didn't think he needed him still, or didn't have some reason he's forced to keep him around, he'd just tell Musk to fuck offsame as how he fires appointees, doesn't follow through on other contracts and stiffs people on bills.

That's a good point. Zucker has a higher amount of dislike vs. intense dislike.

Zucker kinda somewhat tried to do that with the "metaverse" thing. He pulled it off very poorly and it was a stupid idea in the first place, though.

I'm surprised Zuckerberg is more disliked than Elron. Though Zucker has done some weird shit lately taking Facebook culture right wing, he's been way less of a public pain in the ass than Musk. He's been widely known as a dislikable figure for longer though.

I recall how in 2015 many in the Republican establishment were actually opposed to Trump getting into power. Then, they suddenly flipped and started saying he was the best ever, and have since then. It seems they got here on fear of Trump and his fervent fans and after enabling him for years, they end up... in fear of Trump and his fans.

Must be a tough decision to stop working so hard on harming the country and enjoy retirement.

Not revenge as much as financial motives. He wants less oversight on his business activities so he can make more money and be involved in fewer lawsuits and regulatory actions. There seems to be a broader motive to degrade the US and cause chaos and hardship, which I assume is other Republicans and influences like Putin. Some are probably favors to other interests - for instance, my guess about decreasing park rangers is probably to degrade parks and decrease attendance so they can justify drilling for oil or mining in national parks. The amount of money saved by slashing federal employment is trivial in terms of the budget, so it certainly isn't that. One thing is that before the election they said they were going to specifically make sure that agencies were staffed with Trump loyalists at every level, so I'd bet when you hear there were cuts at the FDA and the staff said they seemed random, everyone who was fired voted for Democrats, had Democrat supporting social media activity, and so forth.

It registers disapproval. Maybe the designers of Lemmy wanted to avoid the censorship aspect voting has on reddit? I suppose it depends on what type of sorting viewers are using, as downvotes mean it won't appear on Hot or whatever. I do agree it works that way to some extent on Reddit. Real censorship is mods or admins deleting your content, though.
