Elon vs Twitter update: Elon helped America win , Tesla stock through the roof

I don’t know can you repeat the question?
You’re not the boss of me now!

 

My Mastadon tweet is still up btw. Too bad no one is signing up.

 

Pretty sure he's in trouble with Tesla shareholders and trying to find an offramp for Twitter and pretending its a poll. 3rd largest Tesla shareholder already called for his removal, and that's probably just going to keep growing as he destroys all his brands' reputations while also not doing any of his actual job at Tesla. Shorting Tesla was already a great investment due to its crazy valuation, but it's become one of the best investments out there with this new Trumpian transformation.

 

This is pathetic. It's like Twitter's being run by a 5-year old throwing a temper tantrum. And on top of that, Elon is a troll and a shitposter. He is adept at driving engagement though; I'll give him that.

All I wanted was for Twitter to go back to the way it worked from 2007 - 2015 for the most part. It's not complicated. The place was more chill and fun back then.

 

Well, that was fast. Paul Graham left after the new rule. He broadcast it earlier and sounds like he got suspended and now reinstated?



For fun, I checked Clutch and Telsa twitter accounts. Both are in violation of the new rule.

 

Hard to do that when your CEO is trolling, creating drama, and generally being a jackass.

 

There was a tweet with him next to Krusher and the Saudi in QA watching the FIFA world cup final. Maybe he got his buyers to take a majority stake and he's bailing.

 

Musk has a Muad'dib complex.

What is written is meant to be.

 

Lex is crazy.

 

Conservatives are finally figuring things out.

Elon Musk and the Rise of the ‘Conservative’ Celebrity

The Right has a strange relationship to celebrity. To many conservatives, celebrities are bad, unless they can possibly be considered right-wing, in which case they become heroes and their flaws are ignored in the name of fighting the culture war.

Just consider the case of Elon Musk.

...

So how did he become linked with the right? By being mad at liberals and making liberals mad at him. (A similar phenomenon is at work with Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss, two journalists to whom Musk gave files relating to Twitter’s moderation under the platform’s previous owners: They are hardly conservative, but they have repeatedly expressed opposition to left-wing trends, and made themselves into something like honorary right-wingers in the process.) From Dave Chappelle to Johnny Depp, there are plenty of examples of celebrities who drew unexpected support from the right after becoming the object of progressive scorn. But the most obvious such parallel to Musk is Donald Trump himself. Appearance has been at least as important as reality to each man’s rise to right-wing prominence: The main way Trump owned the libs was merely by existing and being the president, just as the main way Musk owns the libs is merely by existing and owning Twitter. They are talismans, and as such it hardly matters what they do or don’t do: The mere fact that they make the Left mad is enough.

...

His own seemingly haphazard, chaotic efforts to reform the platform since he bought it have shown that he has no clear vision for how it should be moderated; he just has an emphatic belief that the way the previous owners were moderating it was unacceptable. First he says “comedy is now legal on Twitter,” and then he says that parody accounts impersonating real people will be permanently suspended unless they’re expressly identified as parodies. First he says that Twitter’s approach to free speech should mirror the First Amendment, then he bans Kanye West for tweeting a swastika. These are not the decisions of someone making slight alterations to the policies he had in mind from the beginning; these are the decisions of someone who gave no forethought to the obvious potential problems with the company he was buying, a man who had no plan beyond “don’t be the previous owners” and is now swinging wildly from one extreme to the other in a desperate search for solutions that work.

...

Of course, if Musk’s real aim in purchasing Twitter was to be fêted by the right, he didn’t need a plan. He just needed to engage in a power struggle with the people previously in charge of the platform and the liberals who regard his takeover as a threat. As Trump proved, a willingness to fight the enemy with sufficient gusto is enough to make right-wingers abandon their qualms; they will happily take all the high-profile culture warriors they can get. And if many of the principles conservatives used to stand for get lost in the bargain? Well, that’s a price many on the right are now willing to pay for the sugar high of owning the libs.

 

Yup.
Most of the threads I see now on teslainvestorclub is anti Elon.

 

Please explain to me, in detail, how a plane tracker, doxxed Elon Musk's child's car's location.

 

Yes because the FBI can only do one thing at once.

 

I am OK with this. ISIS recruitment flourished on American social networks because no one was paying attention.

 

These people are ridiculous. Posters here keep trying to use the "It's a private company. They can do what the want" argument that the Left used, against the left.

They are either trolling or not intelligent enough to realize the left's argument against Musk is "It's a private company. He can do whatever he wants, but he is a ******* hypocrite. You can ban whoever you want as a business owner. You can't keep screeching you are a free-speech absolutist and ban these people though. Pick one. Either you are a free-speech absolutist or you aren't."

The right has a really big problem understanding nuanced arguments. For the sake of this country I hope they are just trolling and not really this stupid.

 

the left has a really big problem with consistency
