Elon is writing a book where the protagonist Xitler was sent back in time to stop Xews from bringing about Armageddon. Its called the aXis of Timelers
I think it'll actually be Xarmageddon, which is like Armageddon, but much more woke.
I'm surprised he hasn't changed his name to Elon Mux by now.
He could go with Exon and then buy the company, or maybe sue them for having his name,
Lol, I love that name for him. If I don't forget all about it, I'm gonna start using that.
i thought you were referring to pooh as "xitler", lol
No, that's Xinnie the Pooh.
I haven't actually seen what he agreed with...did the person he agree with actually say that?
I know this is just a meme, but mini rant time here.
"Free speech" literally just means the government can't arrest, censor, or penalize you for just for the things you express. Of course, there are exceptions for public safety, fraud, etc..
If Musk loses advertising revenue, that is the advertisers exercising their free speech in a free market, and deciding who they associate with.
These crybabies like Musk are upset at having consequences, and throwing a tantrum about their freedom of speech is an intentional red herring and attempt to recontextualize reality so they end up being the victim of some ephemeral bully.
The richest and most powerful people on the planet are not being persecuted.
They are just not used to being called out on their bullshit and are too weak and immature to accept being told they are wrong sometimes.
They don't want free speech they want to force your eyes and ears open, strap you to the chair and shout all the things they wanna say to you 24/7 also you're not allowed to do anything but agree.
Nail on the head
I mean yeah this guy is some sort of narcissistic of something. You won't see him self reflecting.
I read the chain of tweets. I must have missed the “Hitler was right” comment?
You're right; he didn't specifically say that. He called a Twitter post that said Jewish people hate white people was "so right." And that's a big Neonazi thing.
So... he didn't say Hitler was right, just that a major Nazi tenet is.
I didn't. If anyone passing through has a link to it, I'd like to check.
If I remember correctly, the Gizmodo story on this thing had a link directly to Musk’s tweet, and from there you can see the conversation he was responding to.
I honestly dont understand why anyone cares about or how twitter would lose funding. It feels so masturbatory to say you just want elons stuff to fail just because dont like him as a person which is also weird to me 🤷
This is a really lame perspective you have. If Musk was a country he'd be the 50th wealthiest country in the world.
Wanting to see someone with that much power lose as much as of that power as possible is socially responsible imo. Trying to minimize the opinion of people who are pissed at him using his power to signal boost hate speech as "just because they don't like him" is a really fucking empty headed dumb fuck analysis.
On one hand I agree schadenfreude is a dangerous thing that one should be careful about how they engage in
On the other hand he wields a LOT of power over our discussions as a society because he owns a successful platform. If twitter fails it takes away some of his power to be a shithead and to shape our discussions in a way that sucks (ie, inviting everyone to be bigots and to be cruel to their fellow humans on a scale that's frankly kinda horrifying)
I just love it when rich people don't get their way, despite throwing tons of money at it.
It is kind of my fetish.
People do hate free speech though.
Nah free speech means the government won't stop you. It doesn't mean we gotta listen to you or give you a platform for the hate whether it's irl or online. Gotta read that first ammendment a bit more throughly my dude
You're free to speak. Other people are free to hate you for what you say. That's how it works.
When it's propaganda and misinformation dressing up as free speech, yes.
