Whoever said billionaires were smart clearly never met one. We discuss the latest stupidity from Elon Musk as he continues to flirt with covid-19 trutherism. We talk about how he tries to brand himself as an internet edgelord, but really is a pampered rich kid who’s been sheltered most of his life. We discuss how when you live a life of privilege inconvenience is interpreted as oppression. We then discuss the rash of tiktokers exposing themselves as racists. We examine the incentives that manufacture virality and the the role trends play in lifting up bigoted content.
