LONE SKUM

I think he is currently a positive Apollonian force, but concede that it could go horribly wrong at any point.

Most of the people in my life are very vocal in suggesting that he be killed, and it's hard not to settle into a contrarian slouch.

I too once had grand ideas about censorship and free speech and look where it got this place. Musk is also not a real free speech advocate so this will be really dumb to watch.

[kevin hash]

He's only free speech when it comes to the idiotic shit he says.

I hate that cocksucker with a passion.

I really hope Tesla goes belly up and Michael Burry makes another shitload of money shorting it. ( although he's also kind of a COVID dipshit ). Pro sperg on sperg white color crime.

Elon Musk, first of his name, king of the edgelords, liberator of trolls.

What's kind of funny to me is how he's gone from something of an environmentalists' idol to being a favorite among Joe Rogan fans. But yeah, Elon Musk yakkin' about free speech while he's cancelling Tesla orders from people who criticized him on the interwebs and actively bullying his employees when they want to unionize is beyond laughable.

I was just thinking today how he's now two for two with good and bad ideas. He was involved early with Paypal, so obviously he knew where the wind was blowing there before most people did, and while Tesla hasn't really invented anything worth a fuck (iirc the only patent they hold is a proprietary charging plug, and you can probably guess why they patented that), there's no denying that they popularized electric cars so much that it fast-forwarded their development by other manufacturers by probably about ten years. But since then he's started a... space exploration company and now he's... buying the worst of all the social media platforms in the name of "free speech". My take is that the money has rotted his brain and he's lost the plot.

[Necrometer]

I do admire the audacious aesthetic of that thing

Couldn't figure out a way to reference it in my post, but I was certainly thinking about it.

Elon is a sucker for right wing reactionary culture war fiction... so much so that he spent billions buying Twitter thinking he'd solve free speech.

I ALONE CAN FIX IT!

It's not about free speech, it's about where he thinks the line should be. And if he starts implementing "Pay to retweet" type shit that's been floated, it's going to only give a stronger voice to people who can afford it.

Fuck him, and fuck every billionaire on the planet. You can't accrue that kind of money without workers being exploited.

Also, Stav rules.

On top of that, and the million other shitty worker suppression tactics and environmental codes he violates, he didn't actually invent jack shit. He just bought out the other dude he had been working with ( the guy who actually developed the technology) and slapped the Tesla name on it.

EDIT:

You’re also right on the nose with the “I ALONE CAN FIX IT!” pathology that billionaire seem to have where their attempts at philanthropy can have disastrous results. A prime example is Bill Gates interjecting his ideas into how public education should work. The Rand corporation ( not exactly a left wing think tank ) did an extensive audit of the effects of his programs after a decade and found it actually stunted the education system severely.

Tesla’s billionaire chief executive, Elon Musk, would come through the front of the factory “with his entourage,” Chatman said. “They didn’t want a Black face up there,” she said, adding that Latino colleagues were left up front while Black workers were moved to the back.
