    Trump's administration and Republicans requesting Twitter to censor posts is not surprising. It is typical and even normal. What would be surprising and not normal is if there was undue pressure on Twitter to comply. This further highlights the political and biased nature of Musk's Twitter File, which focused only on one side.

    The most powerful rocket ever successfully test fired 31 of its 33 engines. It is capable of carrying 250T max payload. SpaceX is on the cusp of putting the US at least a decade ahead of all other competition.

    A complete fluke (like Tesla) but never the less, its happening.

    I am sure he built it with his bare hands in his garage.

    Twitter is dying, he said, as he references his point from the dying platform.

    Well, whether or not we dislike Elon, I love how that engineer went out, and I would hope most people can appreciate that.
    Speaking uncomfortable truth clearly to power on your way out. "You're just not as popular as you once were."

    I've worked with CEOs and upper level leadership that acts like Musk does. It never works well. I'm not even talking about him being a sociopathic *******.

    The CEO should not be as hands on as he is. Its a complete misuse of his time, you cannot have a completely flat organizational hierarchy at a company with Twitter's scale...

    I can't imagine how rock bottom morale is at a place like this. I've worked at places where CEOs have fired people mid-meeting, you'll end up with a workforce that at best actively does not care about the success of the company and at worst will try to sabotage.

    I couldn't agree more. He has founder's syndrome and a tendency for femto-management (based on available evidence).

    He is incredibly petty.

    have you noticed how he repeatedly ***** on Lucid publicly? You can tell he has taken it personally. probably because lucid ceo is ex Tesla.
    dude…let lucid die on its own and take the high ground. Don’t concern yourself with a company making two cars.

    I think musk is an egomaniac with a fragile ego. and the worst thing are these fanbois like space ghost who suck up his every word as the gospel.

    @Space Ghost is not the worst thing.
    How's that for a BBS compliment? :D

    The declining view count might be due to the new Following tab, which is what I primarily use. It shows only stuff from people I follow, apparently in chronological order. Once upon a time Musk was promoting this view as the one people should try by default.

    Musk is pretty much absent from this “Following” view (if, like me, you’re not following him or one of his many sycophant accounts), whereas in the old view I was seeing stuff from him and other right wingers constantly.

    Whether he should be allowed or not, it’s still the case that the public knowing how the algorithm is being artificially manipulated to promote certain voices is a good thing. The more transparency, the better.
