Yeah, I don't get this. If it was George Clooney or some other charismatic/likeable person, they'd still be fucking us over.

    The sad thing is that the bar is so low. If it was a once in a century charismatic leader you could say "I get how people fell for this!". But the fact it's Trump and Musk just exposes how utterly flawed human society is, and how easy it is to slide backwards. Humanity has no excuse for this one.
