If there's one thing I'll give Elon Musk credit for, it's being able to live the real American Dream: to be rich enough to tell anyone who might try to hold you accountable to gently caress off.

He's not there in this situation. X is essentially dead without a lot of advertising money. He's not going to pay the loans and running costs out of pocket and his boot lickers don't have that kind of coin either. A sex trafficker pledging a totally real and legit million a month in advertising isn't gonna cut it.

He thinks that this is his out. He didn't bankrupt the company - an advertiser boycott bankrupted the company. Therefore he isn't a bad CEO. It's the woke mob that cancelled him that's ultimately responsible.

I gotta say, I don't think this is a smart move (duh). Going after various institutions openly and directly is going to create a lot of friction for Elon and his businesses. It'll be interesting to see if this results in any kind of regulatory blowback, or just further boycotts of his companies.

Except he forgot the second step: not care what said people say/think/do after they're told to gently caress off

but alas

I doubt he's capable of that kind of self reflection at this point. The classic can't fail, can only be failed thing. He bought into the savior of mankind thing that some really good marketing genius was cultivating.

It is my new head canon that Rosalyn Carter's final earthly act was to reverse whatever demonic spell was binding Kissinger's soul to his body.

Kissinger's dead, he's finally dead. gently caress him and someone find Bourdain's comments about him

Edit: “Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”
― Anthony Bourdain

I'm not entirely sure how this is possible but it just occurred to me this is the first time I've heard him speak before.

I heard Sam Altman in an interview for the first time last week, and I understood immediately why he gets the money bags. He sounds like Elon.

Taking the term "Koopaling" to a whole new level since 2016.

Something I just wondered about, hasn't Trump had donation drives and Go Fund Mes for taxes and legal fees? How has he not raised enough by now with his loyal base (who are, admittedly, often poor)? Do those who donate ever notice this poo poo and ask a question or two about Hair Fuhrer?

Someone like Microsoft or whoever could probably pick up the wreckage for a bargain price, flick the NO NAZIS switch and make it immediately profitable.

Meanwhile Elon Musk told advertisers to go gently caress themselves on live TV with Linda the Yacc in the audience. So things are going great for X the everything app.
