You're both right - spending tons of money just to build influence does not buy you respect, but investing your money in something that contributes to the greater good does. Unfortunately for Elon, this requires good intentions and substantial effort, neither of which he possesses. So, he bought an epic gamer account to brainwash the most vulnerable members of society into believing he's some kind of 22nd century technogenius! Seriously, what the fuck is actually wrong with this man???

I never understood why people hated smart TVs until one day mine decided to install an update that presents me with advertisements and a hub screen when I turn it on. If I don't select something in time, the screen disappears, which locks all of the controls, and I can only reset it by turning it off and on again. Why??? Just why?!?!
Great explanation - thank you for re-explaining it to another stranger who's wandered in here. You've explained it well as did another - it's moreso the case that the optics of Trump Vs. Biden or Rep Vs. Dem looks like a great difference to an outsider, when in reality they're upholding each other. And totally agreed on the participation of the broken system Vs. useful organisation, makes sense why you'd disregard the election.
I think your explanation has best explained it - you see it more as both parties sort of upholding an undemocratic status quo (as you said, Republicans actively doing x activity with Democrats either not doing enough to counteract or being implicit) rather than the Dems/Biden offering a tangible actual long-term change. I understand as well that the party had better candidates than Biden/Hillary but the candidacy is heavily dependent on funding/donations, which is wildly inequitable. Thank you for taking the time to explain, very informative.
It was just probably just some poor guy with magical thinking OCD. "If I don't repeatedly draw symbols in the dirt, my whole family will die."
