the poll did not say that he would step down immediately, so he's not lying, as long as he steps down sometime before Twitter stops existing.

He might just get round it with some Simon Says bullshit, "I didn't say I would abide by the outcome of the poll this time". This method has the added advantage of being extremely lame, which increases the probablity of him doing it.

Elviscat posted:I like comparing 'ol Musky with Bezos, they're both evil incarnate billionaires, but Bezos just chills out at his giant ranch, working out with his personal trainer, and watching his cock rocket launches. He's on the BoD for his companies but is essentially retired. His social media team takes care of all his socials. Bezos looks like he's got a similar hairline to Musk but just said fuckit and shaved it off rather than desperately trying to regrow every follicle. Musk just seems so drat insecure about everything, maybe because even as a billionaire he realises he's failed upwards all his life and never built anything of any worth himself.

There is one aspect here that I keep dwelling on, and it's that the Great Inventor, on a tide of pronouncements about bringing power to the people, has failed at everything else but has successfully and quickly innovated (or at least popularised worldwide) a couple of extra new catchphrases for the alt-right to use when they need to muddy the waters of truth, dismiss the voices of their opposition, call for violence while retaining plausible deniability, and control the terms of debate. Just like 'fake news' and 'critical race theory', these catchphrases are something most people will poke fun at because they're absurd, but they'll be picked up by the audience that finds them politically useful and repeated as gospel until the mainstream media are essentially incapable of wading through it to get to the truth. "I'm not calling for violence against *people*, I'm just saying we need to kill off the woke mind virus that's infecting our schools." "I didn't lose; the vote was flooded with bots, we need to get Musk in to root them out just like he did on Twitter." And because Musk is very online and always desperately grasping for ways to insult his enemies, he's going to keep rapidly producing these attack lines and accusations that his buddies will seize upon and propagate with monstrous cynicism and a desire to own the libs, etc. So there'll be more of this before it ends. But the thing is, Musk has *also* publicly said that he sometimes thinks he's living in a simulation, which means there's a small but genuine chance he thinks about this stuff literally rather than cynically and sometimes lies awake imagining he's engaged in a war against the Liberal NPCs. I guess what I'm saying is that maybe this all ends in 30 years' time with a wizened Musk barricaded in his Martian mansion, clasping X-1000, his twenty-eighth heir, close to his chest, whispering, "Their screams don't need to frighten you, boy. Those aren't real colonists suffocating out there. They're only bots. I know it all sounds so real, but please remember, they're only bots-" except that he's never going to Mars

PhazonLink posted:also is there a source of his mars teraform banner pic? Pretty sure he just got it from wikipedia of course Tree Bucket posted:it is incredibly stupid. They've greened up Tharsis, which sticks out further into space than the Himalayas, and the north pole region, which makes earth's polar regions look temperate by comparison. Hmm, I'm not actually sure, the lower gravity means the atmosphere would be incredibly tall. In a magical hypothetical where you've dumped so much air on it somehow that you can have earth pressure at ground level and have a greenhouse going that can keep it at decent temperatures, the resultant necessary height of the atmosphere might mean you'd still have decent conditions on tharsis, and retaining all that heat with greenhousing might mean the poles would stay all right. But I haven't done any calculations and that would require the magic of us being able to pull that atmosphere and greenhouse effect out of our rear end. anyway, realistically if we turn the surface of mars green it's because we've covered it in bioengineered lichen or algae to produce the gassing we need or something. well, I say realistically, even that's not realistic. Most realistic 'terraforming' (for the far far future) is we might be able to throw enough poo poo at it to pump surface pressure/temperature to the point where you can wear a scuba breathing gear and heavy jackets instead of a full on environmental suit. Not that it really matters, there's not really any practical proposals for defeating the radiation problem, any large mars bases will be underground, probably in lava tubes, so we'll just seal them up.

Sorry to keep on the body-shaming derail. It’s great that a whole bunch of goons don’t seem to have younger people in their lives with body dysmorphia/eating disorders. That poo poo is hard to watch, and presumably much harder to live through. And not all young people easily make the connection “They are making fun of Elon’s appearance because he is an awful person”. Many will think “He must be an awful person because of his appearance”. From there it’s not hard to jump to “I must be an awful person because of my appearance”. Seth Pecksniff posted:Under most circumstances (99%) yes body shaming is bad and it will be punished So pile on him for his transphobia or alt-right worldview instead? “Guillotine the rich” teaches kids that it is wrong to be absurdly wealthy, that there is no way to ethically be a billionaire. That is a good lesson to teach. It’s not in the same vein as teaching the lesson that it’s shameful to be pale, bald, or overweight. Finally, in terms of its practical impact in the world: I don’t necessarily think body-shaming shitposts dunking on Elon are that troubling here, on a forum where I would be shocked if anyone was under 25, in a thread that has thoroughly catalogued the context of all the awful things we really despise Elon for. But I do find it a problem when stuff like this is on more mainstream social media like Twitter and TikTok. Anyway I’ll be quiet on the topic now but it comes from a place of seeing a young loved one suffer with anorexia and only getting much better after they deactivated all their social media accounts.

Help me wade through the "logic" Elon would have to follow to be able to laugh at that Babylon Bee post. If Batman asks the asylum inmates if he should step down that makes him a fool for following the advice of fools, right? So is Elon laughing at himself here, because Twitter users are fools? Has he retroactively decided that the poll he posted about stepping down was always a joke, so that's what's funny? What about all of those earlier will-of-the-people-latin-bullshit polls, were they jokes as well? What exactly is he pretending to find funny here? Is it just "Haha, that makes me Batman" that amuses him?

Couldn't they just filter the results of the original poll to show only users that bought twitter blue? He wouldn't even need to do another poll. pretty sure that data is available to them, at least internally.

If you think young trans kids are not mocking the ever living gently caress out of the Musk marshmallow man pictures then I got some news for you about how bitchy the unofficial mermaids discord can be. It’s all playing video games while watching documentaries about crypto and other financial scams, because oddly enough British trans youth actively avoid any platforms where their existence is up for discussion.
