Hi friends ,

I’ve known my best friend since I was 6 years old. He’s always been very, very successful. I’ve always looked up to him, and still do.

A couple of years ago, I confronted him about Elon. I was very concerned. Elon was becoming something I could no longer support. My friend said that he would support Tesla through thick and thin, and here we are today.

He’s made a lot of money off of Elon and I’m happy for him, but I am very concerned that I should not be supporting someone that’s making a living off of someone that possibly is a Nazi. I’m considering ending my friendship. I want to do the right thing. I care about you. I care about us, and I’m very scared for our future.

I’m asking you for advice on whether or not I should give up on my best friend. We’ve been friends for almost 40 years, and I love him dearly. I’m crying right now making these statements. Should I still seek his support?

I am just so angry. My world is becoming so hostile, and I don’t know if I should separate myself from the negative influences around me. What do you guys think?

      Lemmy cares about their own ideology and nothing else.

      You came in here, saw all the intelligent, reasonable conversations below and still posted this ignorant comment? The thread is full of insightful comments, not ideologies.

      This is the most true statement in this whole thread and the best advice here. Don’t ask Lemmy.

      I see more comments in this thread claiming that everyone here is going to say this than I see comments actually saying it.

      Suggesting someone reevaluate their friendship with a person who is causing feelings of discomfort and anger is an ideology now?

        Well yes! You stupid leftists don’t have the right to live a comfortable life, free from criticism and accountability like us right-wingers. We’re the ones who are right, it’s right there in the name, “right-wing”. As such, anyone that might cause us discomfort, such as breaking ties or criticizing the ones who we support, is espousing a disgusting, ignorant, liberal ideology.

        (I hope it’s obvious that I’m being sarcastic)
