Jesus fucking Christ. At this point is there anything that could like sober him up? Or will he just run Twitter to the ground with ads revenue plummeting and move on or sell it to Facebook or Google or Microsoft? Who in the right mind would pay this man for ads when he acts like a fucking maniac.
Elon, being the richest man who has ever lived, and an avid enjoyer of film, has purchased the world’s largest projector system.
:data-laughing:
Musk insinuated that the former head of Twitter’s Trust and Safety team was a pedophile
He's only got one trick apparently. Except this time right-wingers are primed with all the groomer bullshit
At this point is there anything that could like sober him up?
i have a few ideas that i cannot share for legal reasons
It is literally because of this shit that I bought a gun. The right is working themselves up into a stochastic frenzy to start lynch mobs like in the dark olde days. These are the same fucking chuds that 100 years ago would have proudly collected "souvenirs" from a vigilante hanging, they never went away, they just need permission to be let off the leash.
I'm honestly just surprised that the pogroms haven't begun yet. A testament to how cowed and docile the entire populace (even far right lunatics) are.
I mean, I feel like the mass shootings at LGBT nightclubs kind of are pogrom-adjacent. They're not riots technically, since it's all lone gunmen, but maybe that's just how the concept adapts to the US, where:
-
the degree of alienation is so severe that a lot of fascists might not really even be capable of large-scale organized hate crimes
-
guns are easily and widely available, which significantly increases the ability of a single person to do massacres, something which you really needed a large group of people to pull off for most of history
Although that mysterious Metcalf-style power outage from the start of the month is probably not exactly a good omen, that might have been a more organized effort.
At least, fascists got poisoned by individualism too, still a dubious comfort.

Why would he sell it? Lots of media operates at a loss and is exclusively kept around because it serves the ruling class as a propaganda apparatus.
The very first thought I had when I heard about Elon's bid to buy Twitter was that it is just like Bezos buying the Post, but dumber.
it is now your moral duty to graffiti/tag/write on a toilet wall "Elon Musk is a pedophile"
fuck this "online town square" cuck bullshit, spread the message in the real town square.
he is a proven kidfucker, this is all projection. put the message where he can't moderate it
A day or two ago I mentioned maybe there was something to the idea that he bought Twitter just so he could have access to his ex-wives' DMs. Now I'm wondering if the real value to Musk is to have everyones DMs. He's just banning people who make fun of him now but he's so petty that I worry the next evolution is for him to start sharing the compromising DMs of anyone who displeases him.
(This doesn't apply to this specific thing, but it got me thinking this)
He gave dm access to right-wingers already. Its one of the main reasons you can't link directly to twitter on hexbear anymore. It was probably a mistake for the admins to not directly pin this post yesterday,
No wonder he gets so mad when someone posts that photo of him with :maxwell:
I almost want to see the Musk cult taken to its extreme, with Twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX all being run by volunteer cultists
If poison gas is involved it will have the same le fart sound as is in the le Tesla soundboard. :so-true:
I need some constructive criticism on this idea:
Critical support to :melon-musk: in his crusade against Silicone Valley
Thoughts?
No.
Too many people will suffer from :my-hero: 's ongoing divorce dad tantrums. Tech workers are still workers, even if a lot of them lick boots right now.
Elon Musk and people like him are literally 90% of why Silicone Valley is terrible. Random workers at big-name tech companies are, while usually incredibly annoying, not really the problem.
Makes you wonder why the federal government has been giving him so much money…
