Elon Musk is the perfect example of how modern capitalism is a cult

I just made this post on r/relationship_advice, but a friend suggested I post it here as well because it's relevant. We all know Elon Musk is an extreme narcissist, and a lot of his twitter posts seem delusional, but have you noticed he's *grafting his own self worth* to **you** buying his products? As if your decision to use a Tesla or your *opinion of him* is what makes him worthy as a person.<br><br>- He recently had a meltdown about saying his shitty car paint is 'fine' when someone said they're horrible, because it makes him feel bad.<br>- He's obsessed with attacking the press at every turn, because 'the media' does not worship him. This is why he tweets out conspiracy theories about saying pedophile, and why he's such a reddit shitposter.<br>- He's attacked Taylor Swift for using her privilege to make a statement, *yet she's never attacked him*. Hegrafts his own ego to his tweets by attacking random people for not worshiping him.<br>- If anyone attacks his products, he instantlygrafts his own ego onto the person criticizing his product to deflect from any responsibility for his crappy car paint jobs.<br>- He attacked someone who criticized him for drinking a bottle of tequila on Joe Rogan's show and then immediately driving away afterwards. He said "this is good for *me*"grafting his own ego onto his ability to drink hard liquor and drive and not be accountable. This is the same guy who claimed Tesla had 'full self driving'.<br>- He attacked someone for calling him an 'asshole billionaire'... then bought Twitter **because he got called an asshole billionaire**.<br>- He attacked Beth Burke for criticizing the awful paint job on her Tesla, then shared her DMs on Twitter and called her a 'Karen' for not worshiping him.<br>- He really does seem to believe he's a time traveler and the reincarnation of Nikola Tesla, or at least has used that as an excuse to *persecute* people for criticizing him.<br><br>All of this is part of a larger capitalist cult that has infiltrated every aspect of our lives. When we talk about the problems with billionaires, there's a segment of people who literally feel their entire ego and sense of self worth is *tied to the success of billionaires*. <br><br>The saying "if you're not paying for the product, then you're the product" is exactly what I am talking about. Billionaires want you to be a product they can exploit without any accountability, and if you talk about the problems with billionaires, they literally feel as though you are personally attacking them.<br><br>If you are saying that you are a billionaire and you don't exploit workers or the environment, you are just deflecting from being accountable. If you have a billion dollars, you are part of the problem right now. You can't just say you're 'a good person' because you are a billionaire. That's not a thing. Every billionaire, even if they claim to have a social conscience, is a problem. <br><br>The reason why we have an economic depression, is because billionaires have sucked up all of our collective wealth. They have tripled their wealth over the course of the pandemic, while millions of people have been kicked out of their homes. The economic depression is *caused by billionaire greed*, and they will continue to exploit us with their shitty products, horrible work ethic, and horrible work environments, because we have allowed them to exploit us.<br><br>And by the way, every billionairegrafts their own ego onto their products. Jeff Bezos does this with Alexa. He literally puts Alexa in his house, which is not even a smart home. He has a mini-fridge in his house that he cangraft his ego to alexa to order things from his mini-fridge. That crap is creepy as shit. <br><br>Zuckerberg is a bigger narcissist than Elon Musk. At least Musk is straightforward that he wants *your ego on his products*, Zuckerberg is just a gaslighting narcissist who claims you are his "friend" while using you as a product for Facebook to make money. Mark Zuckerberg literally used the phrase "I would rather be misunderstood than ignored." to describe why he's such an extreme narcissist.<br><br>Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk etc. Every billionaire is part of this cult. They are all narcissists who usegrafting to deflect from their responsibility to treat workers right, to not exploit the environment, to not exploit us as customers. <br><br>They all use their ego to deflect from being accountable. They are all part of a capitalist cult thatgrafts the entire world to their own ego.<br><br>The extreme narcissism and entitlement displayed by billionaires is a form of mass psychosis, massgrafting, where they literally believe that the world owes them a living. They are not entitled to your ego or your self-worth.<br><br>Capitalism is a cult. Anti-capitalism is necessary for our survival.
