Welcome To Hell, Elon

[houndawg]

No one is blackmailing him.

He is facing consequences for his actions, that he is free to take.

That's not blackmail.

He's a fucking child.

a child grown old

Oh no. The whole thread, not just this post. Goldmine!

Twitter’s value has only decreased 75% since he took over while he retweets Laura Loomer level conspiracies and offers to father Taylor Swift’s baby.

I can’t believe you’re defending him! It’s so not like you!

Already making shit up and I haven't even got started yet.

Twitter is a private company now. Lots of "guessing" on your statement.

Fidelity listed its stake in X at $5.6 million on Nov. 30, 2023, down from its original share of $19.7 million. That suggests the value of the entire company is now $12.5 billion, down about 72 percent from Musk’s original purchase price.

Reports from Axios note that although Fidelity is a shareholder, it doesn’t have great insight into X’s financials since it’s a now a privately held company; other shareholders may value their stock in X differently.

We’re talking brand value. How’s the product’s value?

Yikes! An adult needs to limit his screen time until he at least makes it through puberty.

By 1am, Musk will have already tweeted 14 times, mostly in exchanges with these kinds of rightwing activists or deferential media influencers like Mario Nawfal – a serial entrepreneur who left behind a series of aggrieved business associates to gain a following hosting live streams on X. Before apparently logging off at around 1.18am, Musk will also respond to the all-beef diet advocate and anti-trans ex-psychology professor Jordan Peterson, who claimed that the initial streaming failure of Musk’s interview with Trump was the result of “traitors at work”. Musk’s response is that, given the prominence of the interview, there was a “100% probability” of an attack.

Though Musk has claimed that X is a place for all politics and viewpoints, the Tesla CEO has little to no interaction with leftwing activists or critical journalists. His replies and reposts reflect both his own personal echo chamber on the platform, as well as the broader rightwing ecosystem that he has cultivated as owner of X.

Since Musk took over the company in late 2022, far-right and conservative voices have grown on the platform while advertisers and more mainstream A-list users have fled. Republicans are now far more likely to believe that their views are welcomed on the platform and that it has a positive impact on democracy than Democrats, according to a Pew Research Center study from earlier this year, while Democratic voters report far higher levels of harassment.

Musk is tweeting again by 8am, this time thanking the former UK prime minister Liz Truss for her support. Truss, after being memorably ousted from power in less than the time it took for a head of lettuce to go bad, has recently embarked on the rightwing speaking circuit as a Trump supporter, also aligning with Musk. The X owner has established a history of courting rightwing leaders, and later in the day will reply “Grazie!” to the far-right Italian deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini’s praise of Musk’s opposition to European Union regulations.

As the morning begins, it becomes clear that Musk has discovered that news outlets’ coverage of his interview with Trump the night before is largely critical – focusing on the live stream’s technical issues, Trump’s falsehoods and Musk’s generally fawning approach toward the former president. Musk’s reaction throughout the day will be to claim that legacy media outlets are liars and financial failures, referring to them as unthinking “nonplayer characters” – a longstanding meme that grew out of 4chan before becoming mainstream among conservatives………………

Sometimes Musk’s interactions with rightwing influencers are banal, but they also have the effect of amplifying their accounts to the billionaire’s nearly 200 million followers. Musk will reply at 9.08am to a post about how Europe doesn’t use air conditioning from Richard Hanania, a conservative thinker popular among tech moguls who wrote for white supremacist publications in the early 2010s under a pseudonym to argue in support of eugenics and the forced sterilization of “low IQ” people.


Musk also replies with a cry-laughing emoji to a tweet criticizing the media from the early alt-right influencer Lauren Southern. A Canadian activist who has promoted the “great replacement” white nationalist conspiracy theory, Southern was a member of the “talent team” for Tenet Media until early September. A Department of Justice investigation unsealed around the same time as her exit accused Tenet Media of being a Russian-backed propaganda operation that used $10m in foreign money to bankroll rightwing media influencers. Southern and others on the talent team deny having any knowledge that the money was coming from Russia

Why?

I love that fact that hes got rid of a lot of advertising. Dont need these anti American companies doing any business on X. The fact that they don not want free speech is all you need to know. Thank god Musk bought X and made it fair and balanced.

I find it interesting that he’s becoming as unhinged as Trump.

[Bobcat]

I fined it interesting that a guy that 1100% of the time is joking around on Twitter is now being pigeon holed, simply because one side doesnt like him.

There was nothing wrong with the tweet it was funny and everyone on the planet knows what hes saying. The irrelevant idiots on the left are not even worth thinking about. Keep rolling em out Elon

So the richest guy and #1 business genius in the world is basically just a Twitter troll?

I agree.

As with Trump, the issue lies more with his supporters believing everything he posts.

I can understand why the 4th Estate is upset with Musk, he can't be bought into the false narrative of the media.... they will viciously attack him

True. And he’s also a morally corrupt weirdo known for befriending bad people, who can influence 100’s of millions.

Compare him to other literary/social influencers who the 4th estate attacked for actual truths. Chomsky, MLK, Ghandi, the Dali Lama….

Elon couldn’t carry their jocks.

[Bobcat]

True, he wasnt a wife beating adulterer like MLK or a radical Marxist like Chomsky

When you’ve failed at the two most important things in life…parenting and being a decent and kind human.

Why would anyone care about the opinion of a mentally ill child?

Its sad grown men pretend to be swayed by the mentally ill instead of seeing it for what it is. A cry for help, shes in need of intervention

Let’s see your credentials on mental illness, Bobbo. And how familiar you are with the situation. Maybe she’s already receiving therapeutic help?

Are you familiar with malignant narcism? Have you seen Elon’s posts?

[Bobcat]

I am not worried about Elon in any way. He has the worlds best interest at heart. He cant be bought thats the only reason anyone hates him, including his idiot daughter

So “no”. Your answer is “no”. “I have no idea about mental illness”.
