I watched it.

He believes that a censorship AI "death star" is being created from looking at twitter posts, and that Elon Musk is helping stop the censorship death star by limiting the posts and keeping the internet open.

It's like the guy started with exact opposite premise "musk is keeping the internet free" and worked his way backward to figure out how it's true.


AHHHH my head hurts.

He also misrepresented the work of the EIP entirely, the report is public, they tell you exactly how many tickets they opened. The identification of millions of misinformation tweets happened after the fact and it did not mean there were millions of tickets opened.

I’m really glad Elon musk didn’t get to drown some kids in his underwater kid casket

Also just remembered he started calling the diver who did rescue the kids a pedophile because they didn’t use his death tube

From the BBC 2018:

Note the TWO points where the width of the cave isnt big enough for you wearing scuba gear.

Now lets look at Elons Death Trap Dildo Machine:



Yeah, that was totally going to save the cave kids.

Knowing Elon, it would have exploded.

they got the kids out by drugging them once before getting in the water and once after getting in the water so that they wouldn't panic and struggle and just dragging them out with masks strapped on their faces

They didn't anticipate how small some of the kids were for their age and there were one or two where the masks didn't fit and they had to do something more risky I forget what

2 rescuers died

(lower case 'before' and 'after', and use the filters like 'most viewed')

I was looked up 'recession coming' just to see some bad track records
And fell upon this video talking about musk's iq.
The video is garbage, but it's a moment in time.

the drug was ketamine btw, plus some others to keep them from salivating and lower heart rate. it was 3 hours to get out of the cave and tiny starving children are susceptible to hypothermia. it's really some crazy poo poo they all lived. one of the rescuers who died got a blood infection when they were cut during the rescue and died way after it was over. The other one I guess got lost and ran out of air while they were setting up the cave for the rescue, setting up the guide ropes and extra air tanks and whatever

edit: I looked up the mask problem. The kid with the small head, even if you put the special mask on so their nose was pressed flat still didn't seal. So they put on a regular dive mask meant for conscious divers who can you know, sense if it got pushed off their face. And the rescuer basically had to hold the kid to his chest the whole way cause if the mask slipped there'd be no way to know

The "rescue" was some of the best divers in the entire world going in and basically teaching a bunch of children how to cave dive from first principles. The entire operation was an absolute miracle.

Musk showed up to drop off his idiot tube and accuse a guy trying to save a bunch of children from a deadly situation of being a pedo.

they also had to train the divers to administer the drugs correctly while diving

and the divers did sometimes get lost and accidentally backtrack deeper to where they'd just come from cause it was all murky flood water you have to navigate for 3 hours carrying a child through tiny winding caverns

ah yes the ol' navigating with zero visibility by touch only using sidemount tanks to squeeze through holes while holding an unconscious child with a regulator in his mouth. typical diving conditions tbh. frankly surprised musk didn't volunteer to go there and rescue the kids himself; he knows rockets so cave diving should be a piece of cake
