You just know Elon Musk 100% supports letting people on twitter use the N word since he's a wealthy white south african.

He gets to use it cos he's an 'African-American' loool get it!?! I bet you never heard that joke before!! LOLS*




*I clicked on Jordan Peterson's daughter's Twitter account as it was linked in the Jorp thread, she was asking Elon to unban her dad, and she had very recently retweeted a congratulatory tweet praising how an 'African-American' like Musk had hit such heights. Of course there was a lot of back-slapping "har-har-har well played" going around in the replies. I'm not sure why I subject myself to that sort of thing.

Are the poll results in favor of musk? I can’t check without making a Twitter account and logging in.

It's 80/20 in favor of FREEDOM with over a million votes.

The only thing preventing me from enjoying watching this ship sink in a storm of hubris is knowing that when the banks that hold the loans poo poo the bed because Elon is not going to be able to pay the bills, they'll probably get bailed out with tax dollars because they will threaten to take the rest of the economy down with them.

How long has Elon Musk been a chud?

Why haven't I known this all along? Is it a recent development?

Relatively recent? A few weeks ago he posted how he used to vote Democrat, but they are too extreme so time to start goosestepping.

LOL if you believe he ever voted for a democrat.

Hell, he's probably never voted because he has better means of getting the government to do what he wants.

100% There's this poo poo-rear end "aww shucks" sort of song and dance that hard right people like to put forth so they seem less extreme and deflect their horrible views. "Look what they made me do!"

Like many people here, I wish the dems were a quarter extreme as the right says. I get so tired of the song and dance.

I remember when he pitched "Pravda" which was supposed to be a wiki style news outlet where regular folks could do a better job reporting news than the professional media? It was a real flash in the pan pitch that I figured was the result of a tantrum a few years back, seems like he's dusting it off I guess.

I'm not a businessman by any means, but it's bizarre how he went in swinging dick and went to SLASH EVERY EXPENSE and not just trim some fat, looking for ways to cut expenses and increase revenue. I suppose it's a testament to how lovely the deal he made is, how unprofitable Twitter is and the fact that, like many say in this thread, he's a narcissistic dipshit who happened to make the right investments at the right time until now.

The rules of grammar have evolved. It's now grammatically correct to end a sentence with a preposition. This is because many sentences that purposely avoid doing so sound awkward as hell.

Never ending a sentence with a preposition is a hill I'm willing to die on.

My favorite thing about this whole thing is how the World's (Formerly?) Richest Man has displayed such a fundamental ignorance of how a business he spent billions to purchase operates. Thinking that using Twitter is the product he has to sell in order to be successful AND that 'Free Speech Twitter' is a product that hundreds of millions of people want to pay to use shows such a shocking lack of understanding of what social media is, I'm taken a little taken aback at how loving stupid our boy Elon is.


It makes me wonder if being rich may not be directly tied to merit and ability after all. Hmmmmm.

I am weirded out by all the talks of legislation targeted directly at TicTok under the guise of protecting uses from the app harvesting data from consumers. Why not make it difficult for any social media company to harvest data and protect consumers' privacy?

Eh, that's just crazy talk.

I love how yesterday he tried to suck himself off over "average user seconds" and then today is telling everyone to "touch grass".

I love that the prediction that Elon would stumble backwards into old Twitter policies because Twitter wasn't woke, but rather trying to keep a social media company afloat is wrong because this man is too monumentally stupid and narcissistic to understand what is happening. Dude demonstrably has no idea how social media companies do business.

Someone will post a graph that was made on Stormfront or something made with unsubstantiated data that shows all money that you donate to the Red Crescent actually winds up in the hands of Hamas. Elon will "!!!" and then announce that he had to suspend the program as not wanting to fund terror.

He gets points for announcing the program and then gets them again for stopping money from getting in the wrong hands. He wins twice.

I also love how half-assed and shady this whole thing is, "we'll give all advertising proceeds from tweets related to the conflict (wtf does that even mean?) to charitable organizations.... wait, oh, can we just buy some pediatric medical supplies and like, I dunno, send it to em or something? Anyhow, see, I don't just like the whites."

it's totally believable that AI will make everyone wealthy. Just look at how automation has lead to massive production efficiency improvements and, correspondingly, how worker compensation has increased at the same proportion.

I love how this motherfucker is crying about humanity going is going extinct because women aren't constantly having babies and at the same time there is not enough room for more people in this country. I understand he is trying to get as close to saying "more white babes, fewer brown immigrants" without having to actually come out and say it. But, poo poo, It makes him come off like even more of a moronic racist.
