Absolutely. We need this message in every form possible to reach as many ears as possible. There are still people who believe that simply because he's so wealthy, he must be a great person.

I'm personally in the early stages of my "Musk is an Asshole" operetta, but I'm all for these newfangled methods, too.

My aunt and uncle are still fans of him. My aunt literally told me "I know he's kinda crazy, but he's also super smart!"

I just keep my mouth shut because they're loaded and will not change their opinion no matter what. They've read his biography and take it as gospel for his life and keep trying to get me to read it.

You should ask her why she thinks he's smart to find out how dumb she actually is.

When she says "because he's loaded" you can point out all the stupid rich people there are in the world. Kanye West would be a good place to start. There's no shortage of examples though. Hell, if your aunt is loaded you could just hold up a mirror.

That would either fly right over her head, or she might actually find some way to defend Kanye

This very common in the US, I have some wealthy relatives that think he is a genius, and they have said they same about Trump. When you try to poke holes on their arguments it falls on deaf ears.
