That, and I think he's just a lot older now, and kinda crossing over into the tired, grumpy years. I recently went down a YouTube wormhole of his, I miss his old spastic energy from the 90s/00s (I miss mine too) . Happens to the best of us, but he just isn't the same dude anymore.

Musk craves people to like him. He is wormy that way. So he will eventually revert to more centrist takes because if he sticks to what he’s doing and what he truly believes in people won’t like him. So he is going to go weasel back to more centrist takes so people will like him now that he realizes he has lost so many followers.

I don’t think he realizes how far he’s lost the audience. He wants to be known as this super genius but he just destroyed all of whatever reputation he had over this Twitter thing and he comes across like a gigantic moron. Which should be terrifying, for everyone, that somebody as moronic as Musk is in control of a tool like Twitter and the worlds richest person. If there is ever an argument that extreme wealth needs to be re-distributed, all one needs is a case study on Musk and how he’s managed this entire idiotic debacle.

I am still blown away he posted a picture of a woman about to be… with the Twitter logo covering her nether regions and asking Trump to do the deed. That was insanely mind blowing poor judgment for a CEO and “super smart guy” as if we want this complete imbecile with so much power. What a loser.

All I know is if I owned Tesla stock I'd be pretty pissed right about now. Bled off 2 years of gains already.

I can't believe of all the calamities in this world and serious issues like climate change, war, inflation and extremism, regressive chuds like Musk and the larger conservative movement soil their diapers over pronouns. Fata'ing pronouns. the least intrusive, least costly showcase of individual freedoms one could as for.

Shaking my head.

Sometimes I wonder if this is all just a big troll job, especially after he got forced to put his money where his mouth is and buy the company. The RIP Twitter tweets a couple weeks ago that of course amounted to nothing...last night with allegedly going to change it from 280 character limit to 4,000 which will blow up timelines...I think he just wants to ruffle Lib feathers, as I think many see Twitter as a heavily left-leaning place. Either wants to wreck Twitter, or act like he's going to for the reaction..yet another newfound instigator for kicks like we've seen oh so much of around the world since 2016.

A part of me wonders if there's even a darker misinformation plan going on here, especially now that we're past halfway to the next election, with all his politicized tweets lately....but I'm not ready to go there yet.

I just don't see a single redeeming quality about that guy. He isn't funny, interesting, compassionate or anything. He's just kind of a dick. And people love him for it. I don't get it.

Ha. I find this remarkable.

I'm.continually told by typically conservative politicians, especially here at home in Alberta, that twitter is the nattering Laurentian elite of 5 people, to get off twitter go out and learn what people have to say in the real world....

....and yet now fox and musk are the vanguard of saving the world on twitter, it must be done.

So it's useless on one hand, yet absolutely imperative on the other, all at the same time, from the same group of individuals.

I too feel that Chappelle has dropped off and his last couple shows have been pretty meh. His stuff during the Chappelle show days were hilarious. Bill Burr is my top guy now and is way funnier.

Twitter’s former head of trust and safety has fled his home due to an escalation in threats resulting from Elon Musk’s campaign of criticism against him, a person familiar with the matter told CNN on Monday.
Quote:
Roth has since been the subject of criticism and threats following the release of the Twitter Files. However, things took a dark turn over the weekend when Musk appeared to endorse a tweet that baselessly accused Roth of being sympathetic to pedophilia — a common trope used by conspiracy theorists to attack people online.

Ad feedback
A person familiar with Roth’s situation told CNN threats made against the former Twitter employee escalated exponentially after Musk engaged in the pedophilia conspiracy theory.

Sounds like Musk is probably a pedo.

And weirdly seems to follow Epstien's odd excuse/philosophy for pedo behaviour, that it is important that rich smart guys sleep with as many teenage girls as possible for the future of humanity

Oddly enough Musk’s father said the same thing almost verbatim.

Lol Musk unbanning some and banning different people isn't saving civilization.

Complaining about pronouns is particularly rich coming from a weirdo who named his kid X Ć A-Xii.

I especially laughed at his tweet saying it was 10% booing, 90% cheering at Chappelle's show. His transition into being a Trump clone is almost complete.
