willa and like 3 people from the succ thread who will use every opportunity to come barreling in and yell at you like a minor character in a thriller from 1995 about how YOU JUST DON'T GET IT MAN but can never explain what they're loving talking about and imply you love the democrats or government if you think "the us government tries to influence the population" isn't all that surprising considering the last 50 years

the "make everything a touchscreen!" thing is another of those things that's already been tried and it's even been tried for steering and, naturally, it ended in tragedy (to be mildly fair that was boats not cars but still) but that's not the point because tech is an industry where nobody learns anything because the entire point is being a doofus screaming "disruption!" and if you mess up the vibes you get fired for being a negative nelly (i mean we're talking about an industry where all the big brain captain of industry john galt financial kings all used the same bank because it was the cool bank not the lame grandpa bank)

though on the other hand boats are much bigger and slower than cars so the potential for tragedy and violent collision is even more in cars

anyway disruption!!!!!

f stop fitzgerald is right. gotta give ol' musky credit, it is pretty funny that matt taibbi got bodied by a third string msnbc anchor and apparently ol' musky played him, bari weiss, and the other guy (and maybe the new Fang guy) in the whole twitter files thing like a fiddle in terms of getting them to do exactly what he wanted by hand-picking information to feed them, write exactly the story he wanted to fit his (mysterious, unknowable) political agenda (which is only about censorship and free speech and government interference obv), then he dropped them when he got bored with it or they made him look bad, started blocking links to their major source of income, and left them bewildered because they thought he was actually their friend

obviously if you spent months screaming it was the new watergate it's gotta sting but it is hilarious otherwise, outplayed by the boer

in the end...he actually did one funny thing

i have no clue, i think it's from this thread perhaps. just a hunch. let's get some Something Awful Forums Files going, someone volunteer to work for jeffery for free

okay we'll need posters from the gun forum, the business forum, and the military/cop forum

as marxist-leninist communists, i think we all know that a rich person is entirely trustworthy and, further, a red-brown alliance is the only way we can get the important message out and there is no possible way this will ever backfire on us, so we should reach out to every remaining chan and the qanon boards because they care deeply about free speech and censorship

if you think allying with them is bad u r an msnbc loving maddow liker

let's move people this one goes all the way to the top

let's actually talk about tucker's dad, dick carlson.

dick carlson was the director of voice of america during the last six years of the cold war. he led radio marti which was the us propaganda outlet broadcasting to cuba. dick also ran the us information agency which was the official us propaganda outlet under the state department.

some other interesting stuff, too, like he ran a savings and loan run by a close friend of ronald reagan then went into politics before moving into running propaganda outfits on behalf of the us government

he also ran the corporation for public broadcasting, which as many of our friends pointed out, including elon musk, is in fact a state funded propaganda outlet.

it is interesting, as hoot is saying, that greenwald is on his son tucker's show. makes you wonder who's pulling greenwald's strings, doesn't it?

oh but i'm sure the son of a well-connected government propagandist isn't also a government propagandist

can't trust greenwald either goddammit

also elon through the twitter files (this was bigger than watergate) revealed a massive us intelligence operation to censor information from the populace and single-handedly dismantled the apparatus the deep state-blue check media alliance used to manufacture consent. leftist speech flows freely on the new twitter resulting in increased discussion of e.g. palestine whereas before that was censored by the fbi/cia/dhs. elon has done more to smash capitalism, frankly, than a thousand of you so-called leftists shitposting in your basements.

speaking of grimes (butthead this is relevant because she's elon's concubine), if you haven't read the story of she and a dude trying to sail down the mississippi river in a homebuilt houseboat and the incredibly patient and increasingly annoyed ron swanson-esque park police officer that keeps stopping/saving their asses, settle in and have a read. acab, of course, but i don't think you could've blamed him for shooting them and dropping them in the water.

if you are unfamiliar with it, the mississippi river is one of the largest and busiest freight avenues in the country. the mississippi has also been notoriously tricky to navigate on its own merits and this has been known for hundreds of years. it is exceedingly unwise to attempt to navigate it in a homebuilt houseboat.

*tears in my eyes* bro bro please please understand it's not that he agrees with them it's that he cares so much about censorship he has to go on tucker because your beloved msnbc and rachel maddow won't let him get the message out bro just listen to this glenn greenwald interview i'm begging you this is what i been tryin to tell you

it's extremely unlikely but would be very funny if elon's pivot to full on culture warrior gets chuds out of jacked up pickup trucks rolling coal and gets them driving electric cars

see guys if you did it the nasa way (boring, lame) you wouldn't get all this great data like "maybe we shouldn't blow up our launch pad" and "launch rocket...????...it explodes"

what's great about spacex is they're iterating by building lots of rockets and launching and getting lots of data when they explode

dumb old legacy programs like nasa are focused on building rockets that don't blow up and when they do blow up it's regarded as a tragedy and they take years to learn lessons from it (pathetic, stupid) rather than just rolling out the next one, blowing IT up, and learning those lessons

what's great is this is the actual argument people are making

hmm this is concerning since i thought he was just revealing watergate 3: watergate to the max because he loves free speech and hates censorship

a personal relationship with a source and making decisions based on that instead of getting the story out to not stop the signal doesn't seem like good journalism imo

otoh censorship and letting intelligence agencies control the discourse is cool and fun as long as it's not the us doing it so who can truly say what right and wrong is

this is all so very very stupid. how does it keep getting stupider? is there no floor?

elon is basically the "idea guy" from any gaming or mmo forum that "doesn't code or anything but sits around coming up with great ideas"

accounts from his other companies have made clear there's always a lot of people around him that herd him around showing him what he wants to see and also insulating the actual competent people from his great ideas (more or less) because we see what happens when his great ideas coming in contact with reality

the problem with twitter is the protective ablative layer of elon whisperers wasn't in place. everyone with a lick of sense bailed except the sycophants and the h1bs who couldn't find something else so this is an Idea Guy who has never been told no in his life firing everyone who tells him his Ideas are bad and demanding things be implemented in a hardcore way then soyfacing when his Great Ideas encounter reality
