Elon Musk, the owner of X, criticized advertisers with expletives on Wednesday at The New York Times’s DealBook Summit.
I thought this guy was supposed to be right wing? Doesn’t he like the free market? Because, I mean, the alternative is regulation. We could make antisemitism illegal, but in the west we have largely decided that we will instead rely on free market forces (read: public shaming) to root that shit out.
It’s almost as if… and this might sound crazy, but hear me out… it’s almost as if this guy wants the advantages of capitalism, but none of its disadvantages?
He’s a libertarian. That means he thinks he can do whatever the fuck he wants but will squeal like a stuck pig at the slightest sign of pushback.
Is he in Scientology? He’s gone off the cliff like most of them do.
No, he is just a man child who was forced into dumping billions into a social media platform because he sucks at trolling.
That’s the funny thing; he wasn’t forced into it. He could have just paid $1bn for his idiotic 420 joke (or probably much less if he’d settled out of court) and gotten away without any further damage. But instead, he took out a $13 billion loan and spent another $21bn of his own money for it. So instead of setting $1bn or less on fire, he set $34 billion on fire. Plus the additional money that his idiotic compatriots put up. This truly is the dumbest timeline.
Edit: He also ended up selling a shit load of his TSLA stock to make one of his payments to the bank, which caused tesla to tank in the market costing him untold billions as well. He is not a smart man.

No. That’s only if the deal didn’t work for external reasons.
He doesn’t seem well. He sounds like someone that desperately needs help. Even though I think he is a giant piece of shit, I hope he has someone around him that can get him some help. Perhaps selling Twitter or just shutting it down could be part of the solution. If nothing is done, I’m afraid this guy will end up as a case of drug overdose or suicide.
Nah man, this is the closest he will ever get for punishment for the horrible things he has done to his employees, to the actual green movement and climate change, and public discourse via Twitter.
He shouldn’t even have government contracts because he readily admits he abuses drugs. But I guess rules are just for plebes like us, right?
No, fuck him, let him spiral, and I hope he fucking loses it all and kills himself.
Fucking worthless. Up there with fucking Kissinger. Both can rot in fucking hell, for all I care.
I endorse this message
Poor Linda Yaccarino (current CEO of Twitter). She must be wondering what in the actual ### did I get myself into…
How could she not know ?
Finally. Took them long enough.
This.
There are so many media institutions and slebs who have and still are giving twitter all its content .
They are complicit in this.
