loving lol that Elon is such a needy little bitch that he made the entire platform auto follow him

And then tweet poo poo to vote republican

Can you even fathom the loving outage if zuck posted for every fb user to go vote dem, or everyone’s gmail inbox got an email from google to go vote dem

someone recently told me you should invest in any thing Elon does because he has the resources to make it work no matter what!!!! that sounds like great investment advice. They got all puffed up when I said he’s an idiot. “But he’s so rich!!!!” so what, you can still be an idiot.

This didn't happen btw. I don't know what did happen, but they didn't make every account on the platform follow Musk.

i think people are figuring out that the number of being running twitter was probably <7000.. but definitely, most definitely, more than 3500 or however many he actually fired + the number that will quit b/c of this.

I had an elon dickrider literally trying to argue that it was nothing like he was putting his thumb on the scale, it is no different than a newspaper endorsing a candidate

the difference is who he's endorsing, and how he will deserve to be called out constantly if the chuds win and 6 months from now abortion is illegal nationwide etc etc

I'm following him today, and yesterday I did not - I also had him blocked and he is now unblocked.

Something is definitely going on, even if it's not an explicit auto-follow for musko

If you replace twitter.com in the url with nitter.net you can read tweets even if you do not have an account.

As of a few months ago you can only read the first 5-6 and if you want to read a comment to a comment you get hit with a login screen too. The entire reason I dug up my twitter and reset the password was because of this.

For Chromium there’s an extension to get around this. Look up “Breakthrough Twitter Login Wall”, it deletes the login requirement pop-up.

If the newspapers were owned by a fartlord with an idiot cult of personality who happens to have the most money on the planet, maybe

But a newspaper, even the washington post, doesn’t have the same cultural power that elon or twitter as a whole does IMO

Elon’s now anti-abortion, but not for religious reasons, but because he’s decided humanity needs a ton more people to make numbers go up.

Gen X grew up chafing under the moralization of the Religious Right, and then came up with bullshit sci-if reasons to line up with them on every issue. :lol:

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment

when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.


So, Elon.

If you need someone to help you run Tesla, and now Twitter, I have a policy of making sure everything runs smoothly right down to people's egos, which is surprisingly important. I am also a silver tongued but chill devil because I worked at a certain fruit shaped company during some very brutal years.

I'm game and have business plans...

the recent projections for world crop yield under climate change in the next 50 years are not great


anyways if someone like elon musk thinks there should be lots more people to increase human potential, he should also be rabidly pro-immigration. that would allow desperate poor people in other nations to come to the US and get good education to be the next generation of driven go-getter inventors and leaders.

weird, he's not pro-immigration? huh. I wonder why?
