This is insanely stupid and self-defeating. If you're running Twitter you want to attract as many users as possible, because not only do you get better advertising bucks the more eyeballs you can deliver to the ads, you're also for sure selling your user data to everyone who wants to buy it.

He fundamentally does not understand the social media business model. The customers are the advertisers, the product is user data.

He thinks the product is the website and the customers are the users. That it's 2003 again and profitability is found by gatekeeping access. He genuinely has no idea what he's doing and firing everyone who tells him so.

After tweeting this, Elon walks into a graphic designer's office: "I changed my mind, I hate this design. Do it over. Shut up I AM NOT CRYING, my eyes are just tired from looking at memes"

The quotes are doing a ton of heavy lifting here. It is inconceivable to Chuds that anyone would expand any effort whatsoever into just encouraging people to vote. By definition, any initiative billing itself like so has to be hiding some other agenda.

Yeah, 100%. And he's shown himself time and time again to be a guy who thinks he is smarter than anyone else in the room (or possibly the world) so he just ignores it when people try to educate him, or just fire them. After all he's the smartest guy in the world, those loving morons just don't understand how to run a social media website, and once he bends it to shape with his iron mind, it'll be a massive success.

They're not even saying that the votes are cheating, they believe it's unfair that more people want to vote for Democrats than Republicans. It's cheating that the country has a bias against them, literally "how are we supposed to win when our party is deeply unpopular and hates everyone???" Republicans have made that argument literally every election since at least the 1980s. Voter suppression is a key component of Republican election strategy, it's not even a secret, they publicly say this all the time

e: Literally Donald Trump in 2020 on measures meant to improve voter turnout: "They had things, levels of voting that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again"

hell, even the democrats don't want new voters. What if they voted someone in who wasn't them. Unacceptable

They get all mad about GOTV efforts because they think the people doing it are out promising free stuff to slackers, i.e. the people who wouldn't have voted otherwise but if they voted at all would vote Democrat. They think the concept of GOTV is left-tilted because the only people who would respond to it are the ones who are looking for a handout and something fun to do on a Tuesday.

Obama had a good GOTV effort, then mittens made narwal and it failed because the whole campaign was a girft.

Republicans hate GOTV for the same reason that they love the Senate and electoral college. "Most people don't want to vote for us, if more people vote then we'll lose every election!" "If there was only proportional representation then we wouldn't be able to tell everyone else what to do!!!"

e: The Republican Party is a bunch of old white people who would gladly turn the country into a dictatorship so long as they were the ones giving the orders
