According to his twitter posts, mostly because he whined about Trumps next big spending bill. Because as we all know, Elon hates government spending (except for when it goes to his companies).

Hey, now we know a Dutch leftist probably made this map
Easy, because Japanese has a much easier Romanized written form to read and pronounce generally than with other languages. It's not western speaker's fault if they have an easier way to interpret one language over another. Maybe for you Japanese names seem harder because your native language makes Japanese hard, but it's not the case for many westerners because Romanized Japanese is more understandable to them than it may be for you
Ok? Still doesn't belong on the comm imo.
I don't see how this fits on this comm, or even on the Ultra one. It's just a screenshot of a Wikipedia page. Like, did they make some sort of statement recently or?
I am actually reminded of Frostpunk, which is a narrative focused settlement building survival strategy videogame that I would say is about as close to a post apocalypse story which is broadly collectivist, where the main tension and drama comes from the environmental conditions and tough decisions to survive. I played it ages ago so I may not recall it entirely clearly but that's what stuck with me.
I think it's totally fair for them to glorify their founding fathers. Every modern state glorifies it's founders in such a way, and it reflects on the principles of the country as well. Modern China idolizes Mao, modern Russia idolizes Lenin/Stalin, modern Korea idolizes Kim Il Sung, India with Gandhi, the Philippines with Jose Rizal. Naturally the US glorifies a handful of elitist genocidal slavers, and I think it reflects on the country it's always been.
Boring answer: It's just more exciting that way. I'm sure that fiction about everyone getting along and working together would be nice and all, but lets not kid ourselves, it would be a dull story compared to a tense and thrilling story about a lone survivor/small group against a hostile world. It's one of the main pulls of the genre, to upend civilization to remove the trappings of order and protection that it provides to facilitate storytelling that can utilize the chaos and uncertainty that is possible without it.
I'd bet most of these are made in the same factory and just slapped with different packaging.
I should emphasize that I am not really trying to convince them of anything, I have no intent to de-program them as their class interest is really about as divorced from socialism as can be. White, landowning capitalists in the US, so I only really have these discussions with him to understand his perspective, and for him to understand mine. Although I appreciate the talking points, I'll be sure to incorporate them when I do debate libs.
Just go with Marxist and you're likely not offending anyone, safest bet in my experience.
