He was with Grimes for years. If woke was a turn off for him, would he have been with Grimes for years let alone had children with her?
I think it’s either that he’s upset with Grimes for leaving him and is being anti-woke in response OR he’s up to something else that’s yet to be revealed. I don’t think this virtue signaling matters to getting state legislatures to allow direct Tesla sales. Maybe it does in his mind?
Not everybody expects their partner to share their political beliefs. There is a reason we let married men and women vote independently for themselves.
(Maybe-also? <- Just adding stuff, but am unsure if we agree or not as we are both just adding stuff I think ;P.) FWIW, 1) it was never clear that Grimes actually truly "stands for" anything, and 2) she did leave him, so clearly something didn't work out ;P.
Yeah, so it could be a response to her leaving him. She may have left him because of it. I imagine Elon isn't the easiest of romantic/parenting partners given his work ethic.
How do i know what's a "turn off" for anyone, or what motivates relationships. Plenty of mysterious and contradictory and/or dysfunctional relationships in the world. Maybe that's part of why they broke up?
Making theories about the private lives of celebrities and what they demonstrate about what they really are like or are motivated by... seems pretty much like fanfic to me. Fun game if you're into it, but I wouldn't base my worldview on it.
Yeah, and so what? We thought Trump becoming President was "exceedingly unlikely", too - and then it happened anyway, thanks to a bunch of Russian propaganda and a literal ton of dark money.
Who says that the richest man on the planet can't set up a lobbying/propaganda operation to secure him a shot at Presidency too? Especially a man who has a lot of very vocal, very dedicated fans all over the US? Have them e-mail and call bomb enough representatives and he'll get his will.
> It doesn’t make any sense on its face other than as a way to con certain ideologies.
Meh, Netflix does produce a lot of low-effort woke content: Sense8 and the one where they stopped a school shooting through interpretive dance comes to mind.
I'd love to watch more high budget series where diversity is achieved without it being shoved in your face (all female Ghostbusters / all female oceans). They come across as pandering to their audiences instead of progressing societal views elegantly - hence why people say Netflix produces woke content and loses subscribers.
The goal should be subtlety and not wokeness. So far the only show (of Netflix) I've seen that hit these tones was Altered Carbon and it was aided a lot by the fact that it's set in a futuristic society where bodies are viewed as disposable sleeves.
