This city is afraid of me. I've seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!" ...and I'll look down, and whisper "!!!"

Don't forget the well-liked Norwegian (?) guy he defamed by claiming he wasn't doing anything at Twitter and then had to backpedal. Elon is truly grinding his enemies' bones to make his bread here.

You're right, obviously only a stalinist would believe it's frowned upon to openly endorse Hitler. That's why this isn't a major international news thing, no advertisers dipped, and Musk clearly isn't really super upset. Something something hellworld.

Icelandic. And yeah, Haraldur Thorleifsson apparently is extremely beloved in his home country, in part because he's been a major accessibility rights advocate and has built like, literally hundreds of ramps for wheelchair access (https://www.euronews.com/2023/02/06/access-all-areas-meet-the-man-building-a-thousand-wheelchair-ramps-in-iceland).

Even for Musk, that was like, Captain Planet levels of cartoonish evil assholery.

Normally anything people like Musk say or do can and will be forgiven by the media and corporations because it is trivially easy to do so. The offending party puts out a half-assed non-apology written by an intern, and/or they simply shut up for a while so that people forget. Musk is incapable, not merely unwilling, of doing either of these things.
I don't think we can necessarily say that this isn't going to go away and that the corporations and their mouthpieces wont come crawling back to Musk anyway - there's plenty of reasons to believe they are vile enough that they will - but this absolutely is different in a meaningful way from how things usually play out and Musk, like Trump, represent a new breed of shitlord who do all the same poo poo these monsters have done for centuries but who are unwilling to even pretend not to be doing these things, and so it's fundamentally different.

Musk really did bring about a singularity, just not the one he thinks. He's a political/social singularity like Trump is. All the normal pre-X norms and rules are being re-evaluated and can no longer be use to reliably predict the future.

And the SpaceX workers:

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/spacex-musk-safety/

quote:

The 2022 injury rate at the company’s manufacturing-and-launch facility near Brownsville, Texas, was 4.8 injuries or illnesses per 100 workers – six times higher than the space-industry average of 0.8. Its rocket-testing facility in McGregor, Texas, where LeBlanc died, had a rate of 2.7, more than three times the average. The rate at its Hawthorne, California, manufacturing facility was more than double the average at 1.8 injuries per 100 workers. The company’s facility in Redmond, Washington, had a rate of 0.8, the same as the industry average.

And that's just from what they reported. They've just not been reporting.

Musk is going to get away with everything.

On the plus side, he will also grow more and more miserable, paranoid, and alienated by reasonable people. He knows he is hated and attacked and it bothers him constantly, a splinter in his mind that can never be removed. His racism and xenophobia makes him constantly unhappy with the state of the world, always on the defensive.

He is driven to drugs and other forms of escape. He derives no real joy from things like video games, aside from the most basic connect the dots references.

A very very long time ago I went to whats called "Edo Village" in Japan and goofed around with some pot metal katana with my then wife and some ninja fellows, as a lark. I looked like a dumb ashole, but at least my excuse was "I'm going to look like a dumb rear end in a top hat"
Nothing on the face of the earth would convince me otherwise until I saw that image, with those words.
truly my dumb assholery is surpassed.

It's technically possible, and I wouldn't even say difficult, to look up every ad served to a user, every tweet they say, and correlate the two. However, Twitter isn't identifying the bad content and likely isn't willing to put any effort into actually doing that and would rather lie about results.

The idea that this is a rare occurrence is absurd. Take Elon's "Hitler was right!" tweet. How many millions of times was that served to Twitter users and there were zero ads served along side it? Yeah, the claim doesn't even pass the sniff test.

What the gently caress did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills.
I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words.
You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands.
Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the continent, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue.
But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it.
You’re loving dead, kiddo.
