Y’know, I’ve never understood claiming “who cares” when someone must care enough to comment. When I truly don’t care about something, I just scroll past it and ignore it. If you’re truly “moving on,” why not just, well, move on?
My comment was meant to imply that Elon Musk is talked about far more than he deserves. Especially when most of what he does is meant to troll or generally antagonize people. We have to stop letting disingenuous and downright dastardly people infect our daily conversations.
I invite you to read Ronan Farrow’s recent piece on him and tell me he’s talked about more than he deserves. We need to be talking more about the shit he’s doing, because he’s got a lot more power than folks realize.
Because when something is constantly in your face that you think is overblown, asking who cares is a sign that you are sick of the thing that you are unable to avoid.
It is hard to ignore when it is everywhere all the time.
…I think you missed a word there, because I’m not quite following your first sentence.
All the words are there, but maybe rephrasing it would help you.
People often say "who cares" about stuff they are sick of hearing about that they think is overblown and they cannot avoid it. It is shorthand for "Why do so many people care about this pointless topic and won't shut up about it."
“Sick” wasn’t there when I read it, and it made it less than understandable.
And sadly, Elon Musk has more power than a lot of people are aware of and a lot more folks really do need to care about what he does.
"Sick" was always there.
because it's annoying as fuck to see it all the time
That sounds like caring to me.
this idiot getting media attention sucks ass how about that
Then curate your feed better? The only one responsible for what you see is you.
And scrolling by is a lot faster than opening a post to reply to it.
You could always set up filters to completely ignore Musk.
