    “I just call it the machine, [the] big government machine,” Musk told attendees of his church rally. “And when the Biden puppet was not working out, they got a new puppet. But it’s still the same machine, obviously,” he added of Harris replacing President Joe Biden at the top of the ticket. Musk then alleged that returning Trump to the White House would be “the thing that scares the system” because “Donald Trump is not a puppet, he’s a real person,” adding darkly: “That’s why they’re… trying to kill him.”

    Musk’s latest 13-year-old edgelord idea is calling those he doesn’t agree with NPCs.

    Gotta make sure those you disagree with aren’t even humans with agency, so you can justify whatever suits your goal - it’s the ultimate strawman fallacy, literally.
