14. The danger of money influencing politics

A lunatic like Musk has to be taken seriously when he spouts this nonsense because politicians like Trump want his campaign money on their side.

His theory is wrong but ironically his followers will agree with it and consider themselves alpha males.

A lot of (self-designated) "alpha" males voted for Trump, follow social media and display a very high level of group think/herd mentality. I see them blindly accepting ICE statements for instance (because they hate immigrants) and swallowing all the incel garbage. They are not free to think because they are so afraid of losing their "alpha" status by not conforming.
