 I'm usually nice online, and more of a dickhead in person, so what I really want to say is:

Keep sucking this dude's dick thinking you'll get to ride on his yacht one day.

 Lol people don’t cheer on Patrick Mahomes because they hope to hang out with him one day. They do because he is a winner and entertaining to watch. Same goes for Saylor. Getting triggered says more about you than the people that cheer on the guy that has done more to improve their purchasing power than anyone else over the last 4 years.

 Right, parasocial relationships definitely don't exist in this space. 😂

 They exist in all spaces, so it’s a moot point. There’s a reason you don’t see people saying “you only like Trump because you want to play golf with him” it’s a silly argument

 I'm happy you're not having a parasocial relationship with a billionaire, but this absolutely exists in this space. I've been around long enough to see it.
