You know what’s Not on Roids, apparently? Public opinion of Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Seriously! According to fresh-off-the-press research – and yes, Forbes has it (because who else would track this level of existential dread?) – a majority of U.S. adults harbor some serious lukewarm feelings about these titans of tech.
Like, we’re talking a majority, people! Not a vocal minority on Twitter (ironic, I know). A majority! Its almost as shocking as finding out pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza. Almost.
Callum Booth, bless his Forbes-contributing heart, is reporting on this seismic shift in public perception at the intersection of art and internet culture. Which, frankly, sounds like a really fancy way to say people are tired of billionaires. And who can blame them? Musks Twitter saga has been… something else. Zuckerberg’s Metaverse dreams still haven’t materialized into anything beyond awkward avatars.
It’s not just one thing, is it? Its the accumulation of eccentric pronouncements, questionable business decisions, and a general air of I own everything that grates on our collective nerves. We all secretly hoped they’d build us flying cars or cure cancer, but instead we got… well, this.
Honestly, you just can’t win with these guys. Try to be innovative? Youre overreaching and out-of-touch. Stay quiet? Youre aloof and disconnected. Its a thankless job being a billionaire, apparently. And the public isn’t feeling particularly grateful right now.
