He probably only wanted Elton to tell him what disinformation he believed was being presented so he could get claim those as the ones fighting back against the gay agenda.

Sounds suspiciously like the Silicon Valley techbro 'effective altruism' philosophy, which for some of them is:
1) We should do what benefits the greatest number of people
2) Future lives are equal in value to current lives
3) Being the smartest people on earth, we probably could stop some evil future AI I made up in my head and stop it from slaughtering trillions.
Therefore, we're saving trillions of lives by sitting around in mansions imagining how to stop future AI's we just imagined, so we're doing charity!

No. There will be thousands, probably millions, who this episode of madness never touches and they will only ever think of Elon as that billionaire (and therefore smart) guy who invented electric cars and reusable rockets.

They might change their opinions if he publicly explodes in a fountain of conspiracy madness, but that would need absolute and consistent news coverage that can no longer exist.

One thing I started wondering about was why Elons parents took him and the blood diamond money to the US. Did that happen because Apartheid was ending?
Like could there be an alternate timeline where Mandela died at Robben Island and that poo poo stayed around so that family of shits stayed around?
Would loving suck for South-Africans but the rest of us wouldn't have to deal with all this nonsense since Musky wouldn't have been able to start any of it from there.

Exploiting the un(der)developed world is all about sucking the wealth in resources and cheap labour out and then spending those gains in the first world. Living where you make money is for poor people.

We basically have to rely on the musk family for information about the early days, and a lot of it is lies and exaggeration as expected. Example is their share in an (eventually defunct) emerald mine stuff, which was just a short throwaway comment his dad made during an interview. His dad says they were rich, while elon and his mom say they were not.

Tldr: it doesn't matter, gently caress all of them

"Yes I can hear you, I don't have ear cancer!"

Every one of Elon’s dipshit, brain dead posts has a bunch of blue-check lefties either responding directly or subtweeting him, as if this burn is the one that is going to finally make him realize he’s wrong!

Just… loving leave. There’s nothing you can say or do that is going to convince him or any of his drooling sycophants that he and they are wrong. Just leave, and when Twitter is nothing but Nazis posting stonetoss comics and reciting the 14 words back and forth to each other, the advertising will dry up as well.

But then I guess the Jeff Tiedrichs and BrooklynDad_Defiant!s won’t get the sweet rush of getting retweets and QTs so no, we have to let this dumb cesspit continue to function. It’s all variations of the same brainworms.

Yeah I've never gotten that poo poo from any of the culture warriors of twitter period. Like how is declaring ratio or posting a vindictive meme of some guy you like doing something awful to someone you don't like going to actually make it come true somehow assuming that's the goal. It's at absolute best a case of magical thing and at absolute worst a childlike understanding of how the world works that twitter and to a larger extent mainstream social media seems to have instilled in far too many of it's users with this whole idea of the "dunk" or "owning" someone.
