Trump won the election, this gereatric nepo baby will be well paid for his services
Twitters is a just a pokemon card for him and he used it well.
don’t look guys! I totally did not piss my pants!
– Elon Musk
X is done.
It served its purpose.
Yep. Fortunately for Elon (and, you know, fascism) he doesn’t need it any more. For Elon, it is already ‘Mission Accomplished’. The richest, most thin-skinned losers on Earth already control the biggest economy and the biggest military. What more could that shitstain hope to get out of Twitter?
Well now he’s calling for a new election in the UK (presumably to put the right wing bac in) so looks like he’s not happy with just proxy ruling America.
And he’s dancing around Ukraine and Putin. This guy is so entitled.
Haha right you are. It is in his nature, I suppose, to grasp and grasp after already being the richest person in history. In a better world, we would put people like Musk in a nice, humane institution.
Or a nice, sharp guillotine
He’s not the richest in history. Modern history, sure if you count excluding inflation. But when people like Mansa Musa existed Musk has quite a ways to go. Hell even Carnegie’s wealth eclipsed Musk if you’re talking purchasing power.
Musk has now surpassed Carnegie. You are right about Mansa Musa (for now), but the gap is closing. According to google today, Musk is at $334B, Carnegie peaked at a modest $309B, and Mansa Musa had about $400B, though there are quibbles about personal wealth vs. kingdom’s treasury. If you want to compare Musk and Musa, I think you could reasonably add the GDP of the US to Musk’s fortune, since he is one of the puppeteers behind Trump. All figures adjusted for inflation, by the way.
Oh I hope this is true.
In the future I hope they do studies on what percentage of nazi content is necessary to destabilize a platform and get an established base of regular people and companies to flee.
To hear it told on Bluesky, it’s the better blocking tools and the culture of “we don’t have to put up with these assholes.”
shrug
I’ve been off Twitter for years and even before that I probably posted less than a half-dozen times per year. I mostly prefer subject-based social media (here) over identity-based, but I’m looking to surround myself with people who talk about something other than politics because the last Trump presidency I just couldn’t handle the constant tide of horrors.
I just need somewhere to escape all that and if not, I’m going to be in a really mentally unhealthy place for the next four years.
I hope so, although it might serve as an easy way for companies to bribe the first lady Musk for favours with Trump
Might as well make “Biggest Donor” a cabinet position at this point
Gold Sponsor!
Nazi, who inherited his generational fortune through slave labor, makes people uncomfortable. They leave. Nazi lies about being weird and/or a Nazi.
Insists being a Nazi should not influence anything and demands people and ad money returns.
How long until he sues users to return like he is with advertisers?
Probably in 2025 when he moves all government communication to X because “it’s more efficient”.
LOL… is he hiding cause of an exodus, or because of the bot farm he ran for the elections?
kek
topkek, even
Now do this to Tesla. Make owning a Tesla make you a pariah.
There’s a guy in Hawaii selling “I bought this before I knew Elon was crazy” bumper stickers for $10, and he’s already sold over 10,000 this year.
Being a Tesla owner is brutal because neither the left nor the right respect you.
I already peg Tesla drivers next to Altimas and Ram 2500s, just different energy
Tesla is for the people who don’t want to drive a car, and their driving aptitude is frequently on full display
Altimas and Ram needs no further explanation, you already know
I already peg Tesla drivers
O rly?
😇
It already does.
Sorry to people that haven’t sold theirs yet.
They haven’t even been out a year. Their user agreement stipulates they can’t resell them yet
I’m fairly certain there are teslas older than a year.
Oh my mistake, I thought this was the comment thread mentioning the truck. Yeah, I’m with you
Good point about the insane “user agreement” though
Decent first step with the Cybertruck. Though he botched it and instead of making owners pariahs, they turn owners into clowns and lacerated patients.
Where I live there’s not many teslas.
But I saw one the other day and it was squeaking like a cheap plastic toy.
I wasn’t going to buy one. But seeing such bad quality construction even noticable by afar, reaffirmed my choice.
There are a ton around me. Every time I pass one I pay close attention to the body. Many times, it looks to me like the body panels just don’t line up. They kind of look like shit TBH.
So reading all the comments here:
X is far Right, conservatives - bad.
Lemmy is far Left, liberal - good.
You both sound as bad as each other.
The horseshoe theory holds true in many cases. Far ends of the spectrum have more in common with eachother than they do with the people on the middle. Antisemitism is a good example of something you find in both extremes. Calls for violence is another example.

Israel is doing genocide but the Jews are real victims of US political discourse
I think bombing civilians is bad and going after people because of their religion is also bad. You don’t actually need to choose either or.
every time holocaust and jews are brought up in the modern context, you are making that choice.
How your comment reads to the rest of us:
"Wrong reason people don’t like twitter - bad
Wrong reason people like lemmy - good
You both sound the same to me"
If we’re being honest, they’re both echo chambers, but one of decidedly more malevolent than the other.
You just become someone good when interacting with the good people 😉
No no you see once in Lemmy you can engage in the communist left vs liberal center-left battles. It’s turtles all the way down.
This just in, lying piece of shit liar lies about something again. 😆
lying piece of shit liar lies
I feel like you’re trying to imply something here…
Release the X files, Elon.
I used to like that show :(
At first, the air of mystery suggested hidden depths, but increasing exposure revealed that it was all just woven from thin air and would routinely come out with increasingly absurd stories that contradicted previous statements.
Also, the X-Files.
I want to believe.
Elon’s lost the plot. It’s a joy to watch.
Implying he ever had it
That’s part of the joy, he bought the plot and still managed to lose the plot so quickly it’s easy to argue he never had it to begin with.
He paid billions to play himself.
He paid billions (largely of other people’s money) to influence the US election and world politics. He succeeded. He won.
What a dipshit
