Translation: I am completely incapable of empathy and have zero emotional creativity and don't give a single gently caress about anyone or anything unless it affected me personally.

Either this is Elon's one single weak spot or he's virtue-signalling like he's never virtue signalled before.

Considering what his ex says, it's not a thing that happened. SHE held her kid as he died, Elon said that grieving was "emotionally manipulative."

Feels like a big pile of number two.

Whether he wanted this or not, clicking on Elon’s Twitter and looking at the comments make it look like he turned it into an alt-right platform.

You mean the "My fellow liberal?!" Meme guy constantly posting Qanon minions-tier memes might not be on the up and up?

Lmao at anyone who ever thought that the "Apartheid Emeralds Good times Guy" was ever remotely serious about free speech and not a fascist already

he's announced that he intends to pivot Twitter away from ad revenue so that woke corporations will no longer be able to apply policy pressure with their advertising dollars

to the extent that there is A Plan, I think it's shaping up that Elon is trying to monetize his sycophants directly by creating a subscription-based platform where they can pay to post alongside their big wet daddy. he can drive off all the corporations and normies and his paypigs will still shell out as much money as he asks for.

I think that is kind of his plan but also it's going to drive away all the people that the alt right want to yell at and bully. If it's just a giant echo chamber it won't be fun for his fans, they want to be able call someone slurs directly over the internet and if everyone else leaves they can't do that

I'm pretty sure neither California nor New York are Right to Work states, which means you have to have probable cause to terminate an employee. Hell even in a Right to Work state that "Hardcore" email bullshit is so loving vague in its terms that it's probably unenforceable as a contract

This was pages ago, but "Right to Work" isn't about probable cause for firing, that's at-will employment. "Right to Work" is anti-union bullshit that gives people "the right to work without being forced to join a union."

The thing to remember about Musk reinstating Trump's Twitter isn't that it's one rich fascist doing another rich fascist a favor, but rather it's him trying to show all the chuds that he's the top guy now that they need to curry favor with, not Trump. It's also why he'd never let Alex Jones back on Twitter, either (because that whole thing about holding his dying child is absolute bullshit).

Of course, he's going about doing this in the most ham-handed way possible :v:

That's what I don't get: Trump has a vice grip on chuds and Truth Social is something he actually invested in sustaining. Why the gently caress would Elon think Donny would go back to his main source of competition?

Also Alex Jones is like numerous dos for most of these idiots, so keeping him banned also hurts his cred with the reprobates. None of this makes sense. It's like he expected everyone to immediately praise him for just being awesome, and stealing the chuds away is a fantasy.

Does he want to be chud overlord? Is he just loving around because he's Presidential/ Insane?

Okay so hear me out, elon, jordan peterson, donald trump, and alex jones all go to twitter HQ and get hardcore with eachother...gently caress this could be a good reality show.

First trump does the apprentice at twitter....he fires elon.

Keep in mind it's very likely that Musk just assumed he could fire all of Twitter and that he would have a legion of people beating down his door to replace them for the opportunity to work for the Great Elon Musk (and was likely just as shocked when nobody clicked "yes" on that stupid email, leaving him with just the people who are stuck there due to visa concerns, and the hardest of hardcore bootlickers). He's not just an idiot, he's an idiot who's bought fully into his own hype, so trying (and failing) to anoint himself King of the Chuds via Twitter really wouldn't be all that out of character for him (and neither is the fact that he's doing it in the stupidest ways possible).

That weird pornographic Temptation of Christ meme or whatever is going on their with Elon is the saddest loving poo poo yet entirely predictable. He's basically the Stewart character from MadTV going "Look what I can do" and then proceeding to do the tweet equivalent of that weird flailing hop that usually followed.

You need local teams in places like india and japan just to handle account support and moderation issues in their languages. And elon just decides that only Americans exist and they don't need anything international.

Elon doesnt understand thst the chuds want a place with LIBERALS!!! For them to bully. When the chuds get left in a big echo chamber woth people they only agree with thet eventually turn on themselves and start accusing eachother of being liberal plants or government agents or whatever, which then causes it all to fall apart. This poo poo happens repeatedly with those wierd militia movements, the tea party, even the republicans with their bizare RINO poo poo.

Doesnt matter how bad these poo poo eating bootlickers have it, they'll tolerate it forever, as long as, in their opinion, someone else deserves to have it worse. Elon should be careful that doesnt become him with that pathetic alex jones and donald trump debacle.

The militia groups are already infighting claiming everyone is either the feds, or the militias themselves were created by the feds.

Most of the chuds hate almost everything Musk does already, with the Alex Jones thing and Trump not swiping right, if Jones turns on Musk at all or Trump continues to ignore him expect the chuds to turn on the Idiot who would be Kingmaker.
