Cont: Musk buys Twitter II

well that’s fair. might be a fundamental difference between me and samson. my entire problem with elon musk is the willingness and frequency he lies to get what he wants. and i don’t think the more the better

Can someone still on Twitter verify this is real?

By googling "musk extinctionist" it came up as shown, so looks like it's real. Moronic, too, of course.

What a piece of garbage Musk is!

Truly staggering hypocrisy for anyone to say this while whining about the way Trump has been described as a threat to democracy.

How many disingenuous MAGA morons have we seen pretending to see unacceptable rhetoric coming from the Democrats about Trump being Hitler (something his own VP pick called him) who will be entirely silent on Elon Musk claiming that Kamala Harris is a threat to humanity.

What a despicable piece of ****.

That sentence doesn’t mean anything. Anyway, if you are trying to say that people who post nonsense conspiracy theories should be suspended, then why is he allowing pieces of **** such as Alex Jones to post their garbage?

Because you will justify anything that Musk does.

It is surprising that Petersen belongs to the cult of God, he has entry level intellect where the concept is absurd.
Musk is far above this. He manages his position with diplomacy. Truly impressive, making X a safe place, that word safe again.

:rolleyes: Petersen believes a lot of nonsense.

I consider Musk handled this well.
If a rich guy can be fooled by charlatans into losing his son, it gets easy to understand why the pied piper is having such a field day.

We are discussing different subjects.
Elon told Newsom if he prevented parents from being told their children had been taken by the pied piper he would move his businesses.
Newsom signed that law and Elon followed through.
He will now use X to explain his position.
You should argue that Newsom has nailed it correctly for California.

Musk buys Twitter
Musk renames it X
Musk explains on X he is shifting a trillion dollars worth of business from Cali to Texas because of my hobby horse?
No, because there is correlation and causation.
Your job is to support Newsom vs Musk.
Musk wants parents to raise children but Newsom has made that illegal where the child says " I am trans".
Your arguments in support of Newsom and against Musk please.
Or start a thread, which is absolutely justified due to the magnitude of this story.

Err... Musk wanting to move X to Texas likely has a lot more to do with his frivolous anti-free speech lawsuits that directly broke company rules and his actions to profiteer as much as possible. He's kept trying to get the courts in Texas to be the ones making the rulings, even when it was clearly out of their jurisdiction. Why Texas, though? Likely because of the composition of the courts that has been exploited by the right to repeatedly get nonsensical, but favorable rulings made when it suits them, very much including anti-Free Speech rulings. Musk vs Newson can be safely treated as naught but pretense.

in texas you can judge shop and he wants his shareholder deal reinstated. probably has a lot to do with how over leveraged he is on his stock once the price dropped.

If Musk did buy Twitter to give voice back to anti-trans voices, as some claim, many of whom just happen to be Nazis or some version of fascist that's identical for these purposes, a direct consequence of that claim is that Musk was acting to harm his child.

Sigh.

We know why Musk bought Twitter: it was because he was in the middle of a pump and dump scam and he accidentally signed a watertight contract.

All of this stuff about anti-trans rhetoric is retconning the actual situation because Musk's fanbois can't accept that he was just stupid.

This, nothing more, nothing less.
 
Yeah, Musk had no masterplan with his Twitter purchase. He tried desperately to get out of it after offering a too-good-to-be-true valuation of the shares.

Does nobody remember his claims about the number of bots on the platform? (An utterly laughable claim, by the way, as my secondary, relatively inert account attracts all kinds of buxom ladies with all manner of promises, which it never used to do).

Now that he has bought it, and then made a number of foolish manoeuvres which chased away advertisers, only for him to hire someone who is meant to claw some of the revenue back, I think he has decided he may as well run it as a loss-generating propaganda platform.

Ultimately, from a business point of view, maybe it makes sense for him to use his wealth and influence to push for someone who is going to give him and his companies better tax policies as well as lucrative government contracts.

As for the trans stuff, that it is likely a minor issue for him. After all, it's just one of his kids; it's not as if he ever cared about any of them. But he can say something like "Oh, the Marxo-Islamo-Trans-Atheist-You-know-whos have taken over politics and the institutions and killed my son!" and his legion of simps will shower him with adulation.

Musk may be stupid in many ways, but he also knows there are a lot of marks out there.

I'm certainly not going to disagree. I'm simply pointing out that this retcon wouldn't actually exonerate Musk.

This pretty much sums up my view of Musk and the trans stuff, too.

Not doing bad for a dead bitch this likeable 20 year old says.
This sounds like a narcissistic male pent on revenge, but of course Musk is the adult and must navigate with diplomacy.

Having an unlikable child is beside the point for a parent. Given that he has something like 10 or 11 kids from how many women (?), maybe he needs to spend more time with them. That would be the adult thing to do.

He recently talked bollocks with Jordan Peterson for a couple of hours (though to be fair to Musk, the majority of the bollocks spoken was by Peterson). It makes me wonder what Jordan Peterson usually thinks of men who have fathered so many children with so many different mothers.

Somehow Musk will probably get a pass because that's how hypocritical adulation for people with status goes.

I doubt Musk relies on wealth for validation.
He waxes incredibly thoughtful and balanced every time I see him.
He took a hit with the Thai kids, with the fake nazi accusations, the media matters constructive attempt to fail his work, and so.on.
For the ordinary observer, he is thoughtful and sincere, and an unlikely villain.

Likewise, Texas is a "right-to-work" state and we all know Ol' Musky hates unions.
