Elon Musk

The agreement also stated Musk would have to pay Twitter $1bn if he walks away from the deal.

That might make twitter actually profitable for a week or two

fucking timcast

lol Freddie DeBear:

DeBear quite pointedly speaks only in terms of "ideas" and "communication", which are nice neutral terms, he does mention "extremism" in passing, but he carefully doesn't mention that genocide, violent white supremacy, death threats, doxxing, and purposeful campaigns of lies or slander directed at groups or individuals all fall neatly under those innocuous headings "ideas" and "communication". He argues that nothing effective can be done to end these things, so nothing should be attempted.

I can't wait until he's the target of such "ideas" and "communication" to see how he likes the sit-on-your-hands approach.

Gee Elon I wonder why Twitter seems biased against the party whose core platform is hate speech and misinformation

I will never be tricked into clicking on a freddie dB link

freddie is the ultimate making a guy up to get mad at guy

with age comes wisdom

(hb mh)

xp

xp otm

I thought he had disappeared off the face of the planet tbh.

So he's basically the poor man's GG now?

He's more of a fan of the "falsely accuse someone you disagree with of rape" approach. Fuck that dude.

Hear hear

"Why won't you debate me?"

So he's basically the poor man's GG now?

Tweeting on my piss

Starting to think I might reply to some recruiters tomorrow.

things seem to be escalating

he should def keep posting

it's not the side effects of the cocaine
I'm thinking that it must be love

Musk's version of being a billionaire (trolling, lulz, financial crimes, drugs, $43bn toys) is far more comprehensible than, say, Warren Buffett's life.

it is pretty funny to just be like hey ill buy this website why not, wld be better if he werent such a shithead tho

if i were a billionaire i would also buy cool fun stuff like websites

is there a name for the phenomenon where rich people do objectively stupid things yet are still honored as titanic visionaries?

i mean, besides fascism

sycophancy

will tesla be able to bounce back

they don't bounce, they have collision detection

*manical 1989 Joker laughing*

alert the UN

i do think the chances of elon musk consolidating a bunch of "essential services" (aka, everyone who agrees with him that twitter is THE digital "public square") and then doing a rug pull and flying off into space with a quadrillion stolen US dollars is > 2.5%

even those that got especially burned would just be like "well we always knew elon was a trickster at heart"

he has the technology to colonise mars he should go do it NOW and take his fanboys with him as space-minions, i wd applaud that

we really are just fulfilling versions of the future that were delivered in the form of popular films from the 1980s, including spaceballs ('87), batman (1989), and back to the future 2 (1989)

what the fuck is this

I don't really see how "the left has moved further left" outside of demanding more action on issues which have only gotten progressively worse since 2008. as I recall the right literally tried to overthrow the government just 15 months ago and are currently booting out anyone who doesn't believe the election was stolen. this fucking guy.

he's such a scientist

its the standard way to justify going fash

Does he have people creating these tweets for him? He must.

Yeah, for instance I was screaming for marriage equality since basically I was of voting age, and back then, it was a conversation that never went beyond the hypothetical because it seemed like it was forever away.

I and other like-minded screamed louder about it when it started to gain momentum on a state and national level. Yeah I'm sure there were plenty of center-lefts who were either "pro-civil union" or anti-gay marriage that eventually gravitated towards the position, but there were a large chunk of people who were merely expressing what they always believed.

i'm a little confused because they are all at different scales?

i mean democrats have def moved left as a group but thats not really the point of the drawing

I'm embarrassed that it only just occurred to me that he's going to make a run in 2024.

I think the idea that you'd be center-left in 2008, change none of your stances, and now be center-right is what people on the online left would call a "shitlib?"

basically, you are progressive about some issues but don't really reevaluate your stances over time, so your snapshot of what the world is like fossilizes when you reach some level of disconnect in life and anyone who challenges the status quo in a progressive way after that just seems too far left

why would you want anything to change when your world is great? maybe things have gone too far!!

I'm embarrassed that it only just occurred to me that he's going to make a run in 2024.

A run for what? He's ineligible to run for president.
