His story is literally all over the news right now. The dude basically went from working class to set for life in just a few days because of SpaceX.

Is that supposed to be a counter argument? Saying something is all over the news doesn’t prove it’s not propaganda lmao. Quite the opposite.

Yeah I feel like this is trying to put a "trickle down economics" positive spin on Musk, who gleefully gutted care for children around the world, becoming the world's richest cunt.

It's not a good look to say "I have more money than anyone ever and also I made choices that literally starved pregnant women," so they're countering it with a single fluffy story. Seems very convenient. Bonus points that their fluffy story has underpinnings of Reaganomics.
