Make sense. Congress understands even less about technology than Musk, so I imagine he’ll become their point man to talk about the future. He’ll assure them they don’t need to worry about climate change because he’s totally gonna invent Mr. Fusion next year. And most other issues in the world can be solved by his ex-wife innovative views on gaming and crypto.

While you guys were talking about computer class, I somehow missed that Musk’s lawyers had the balls to try and claim his public statements could be deepfaked so what he actually says doesn’t matter.

I don’t know if he even can. My experience with Tesla owners and people considering buying one is that they’ll totally ignore everything he says or does, because that would make their expensive purchase stupid, and people will believe anything as long as it’s not them making a mistake.

He 100% seems like the type that thinks there’s black people, and then there’s racist thing, and the only difference between the two is if he likes the person or they entertain him in some way.

That’s too bad. I was sure it would be a few more weeks before Elon backed out with some lame joke to diffuse his cowardice. I guess his plan of buying a controlling share of fighting and then pretending he invented it didn’t pan out.

It really should make him feel that way. He hosed up so bad people are willing to go back to the last social media billionaire they detested.

Yeah it’s an annoying party for brands and influencers right now, but if they don’t have a For You feed within a month no one will use it. If they do implement it, then it just becomes twitter.
