wonder if it has anything to do with Elon's words and actions

Out of curiosity, I checked the major news sites in Poland. Aside from milquetoast reporting on his Twitter fights as "mild curiosities", Polish media is seemingly unaware of Elon's image as a class-A dipshit. A few days ago, Rzeczpospolita, one of two newspapers of record in the country, ran a story calling him "the most hard-working billionaire on the planet" :laffo:

Gazeta.pl, the online version of Gazeta Wyborcza, our other newspaper of record, is more busy reporting on every single idea he tweets out, like the "Tesla Diner" and the "Tesla home appliances" or whatever.

None of this is on the front pages of any of the news sites I checked: Rzeczpospolita, Gazeta, TVN24, TVP Info, OKO.press and Onet.

I realise now that I wasted ten minutes searching for apartheid clyde in Polish media to prove some rando rear end licker on Twitter wrong and I am deeply concerned about my mental state

Also, I like how he's too stupid to say "Polish MSM" instead of "Poland MSM"

Okay, but "democrat" can be both a noun and an adjective!

Can't help but notice Bari Weiss is out of the picture completely now and its just Matt the Obedient. Also want to issue a warm welcome to the alt-right to good job culture for their fervent congratulations to Elon for accomplishing that thing children are sometimes taught by their parents to apologize when you're flagrantly wrong and an rear end in a top hat to somebody.

Sure shareholders continue to love somebody thats this easy to tweak overseeing their investments. Like tell him Democrats are going to do something "woke" or that the MSM is going to say mean things about him unless he sets the Tesla factory on fire or something and watch him seriously consider it. Like the mans broken like a lot of people that mainline far right propaganda for too long on twitter.

I just don't think anybody really cares about Elon except the people in his weird little twitter bubble, and maybe us as the group standing outside the enclosure and laughing at the monkeys eating their own poop with such gusto. He's so isolated from reality that to him Twitter is genuinely what the earth revolves around and, by extension, he must be the most important person in the world.

Most of the real world genuinely doesn't care about him or his little stunts outside of "oh yeah he's that rich weirdo right?". There's way more important things happening to people for them to care about Musk reposting le epic meme and dropping Twitter files all over the place without wiping. He will never understand that sometimes people don't talk or think about him

the only thing he puts any effort into is scrubbing credit from whatever memes he's stealing, and I bet he's got an extension that lets him do that with a click and drag

I dunno. Yesterday fox news was talking about the ftc investigation on a "private citizen, one who created so much and being dragged by radical leftist being picked on by this corrupt administration". They've been reporting on every snafu.

Even if he's a pawn used to push an agenda and it is just fox news, its still enough fuel in the fire to keep people talking about him.

I know this isn't even the point, but this ad is so poor-quality too. It's supposed to be presenting the product in the best possible light, and there's a big pucker in it under the model's armpit.

I wonder if that’s it. I just checked both my following and “for you” feeds, and there isn’t a single ad or promoted tweet in them.

Even checking some longer threads, which will usually have an ad or two - nothing.

Then again, it could be because I’m using Block the Blue.

Looks like it was a T-bone crash, which involves getting hit at an angle that currently has zero momentum. You tend to notice those.

I only ever get 2 ads (not logged in to twitter): a business in my area is moving to a new address, and an ad for farming supplies. just the same 2 ads over and over as I scroll down. it's been the same 2 ads all winter

I bet each of those count as separate impressions they have to pay for, too. I don't even think I used to see ads while not logged in
