So wait how does Glen square his belief with the fact 23 seems to imply that government not interfering may have been a problem?

“Try to loving read you libtard” seems to be the general idea.

Glenn’s been a screaming raving reply guy for a while. Sad.

there is a version of spaces for web, but you need to be linked to a space or see one of your follows join one, so you'll never see it unless you're big into crypto (the only demographic that uses spaces)

Also multiple questions about twitter and Elon can support protestors in China and Iran

https://twitter.com/RMac18/status/1599191734524645377

These idiots will never realize that it has nothing to do with free speech and has everything to do with taking politics and cultural potshots. Elon would never annoy China and doesn’t give a gently caress about Iran.

These numbers are not total dogshit but they’re not very competitive either given there’s no stock/equity (and if there was any it’d be super volatile and eventually worthless). Anyone “hardcore” enough for Elon is probably making twice that and puts up with a lot less bullshit and actually gets to make something that won’t be torn down or on fire in <6 months.

They’ll attract some right wingers in the bay for sure but we’ll see.

I can’t believe taibbi and greenwald were at one point professional writers. How do you form sentences so poorly? Like the actual job that every writer has is to form grammatically correct sentences that have an unambiguous meaning.

"You'll never know if you can fly unless you take the risk of falling."
you ever think about trump redcaps and how they go to rallies and we had to spend years "hearing them out"

I think Elon Musk fans are somehow more embarrassing than the Maga Red Caps. Probably because one group are rural and you can chalk many of their thoughts on ignorance or raised on conservative media.

But Elon Bootlickers seem to come from STEM or Business fields and all feel like fake-it-til-you-make-it liars and cons and they live in what appears to be predominantly "progressive" areas like Berkley and San Francisco.

Like, the kind of people who go on shark tank with a last ditch effort idea like "an app that finds people who will wash your dishes for you".
