Like if Vegeta super Saiyan participates in an high school karate tournament permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] interolivary@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Elon shouldn’t be in this chart, too easy to win One would think, but with both Thiel and Bezos in the competition this isn't as cut-and-dry as you'd assume. Thiel especially is fucking evil, he's way worse than Musk permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bermuda@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago I live in Washington State, home of Amazon, and id wager more here hate bezos than anybody else on this list permalink fedilink source parent [–] heluecht@pirati.ca 3 points 2 years ago (2 children) @Moonrise2473 @sirdorius Well, Elon is evil by accident.

Not saying Elon is more evil, but I don’t believe for a second his evil is accidental or situational. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Ilandar@aussie.zone 1 point 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] RadioRat@beehaw.org 1 point 2 years ago He’s also a class traitor. Should know better than fucking over workers from actual life experience in the working class. Still doesn’t give a shit. permalink fedilink source parent [–] monotrox@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) But thats just because he is the most well known (and most annoying). If you were to look at the things they have actually done, bezos and Thiel are probably much worse permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] noxfriend@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago It is difficult to quanitify the damage Musk has done lately. It isn't so clear cut as paying for sweatshop labour or stripping employment rights but he has done a great deal of difficult to define social or cultural harm by empowering fascists and using his public image to endorse fringe conspiracy theories permalink fedilink source parent
