    ATW is a self-admitted troll. he may or may not believe what he posts/tweets on here, but it doesnt matter. call him out, point out his hypocrisy, make fun of him, but dont ever take him seriously...he doesnt take himself seriously here.

    there is a lot of insecurity going on with the dude. he claims to be the CEO of a company with a few hundred employees and also a father, but spends almost all day posting tweets on here. remember he actually posted his "testosterone results" to show what an alpha he is. LOL. and how many times has someone posted an article or a story about someone and he claims that he knows them or has met them at davos or had breakfast with noel (or was it liam?) on vacation.

    these are the kinds of people who look up to someone like elon musk.

    It's a weird phenomenon to see these middle aged men like @AroundTheWorld @tinman .... is it a mid life crisis? Divorce? I'm not really sure but there's a growing number of men who choose to be pathetic and weak.

    Musk thinks he’s being funny, but he just comes off as bizarre and sick. Plus, he’s dead wrong. A Virginia man was recently charged with threatening to kill Harris.

    I suspect it is that they bonded with people in the jokes and banter that would make of outsiders and those that were outsiders. That form of humor and banter was more accepted back then and helped reduce the chance they would be mocked. Jokes that poked fun at people that were different than the mainstream were seen by most as harmless. And it likely often was harmless.

    As times changed and people became more enlightened about the effects that kind joking and "fun" had on some people in society the awareness changed the mainstream crowd and that type of banter lost popularity.

    Most people adjusted and moved on. They learned to tell when those kinds of jokes were okay and when they weren't.

    But folks like @AroundTheWorld only saw the kind of bonding that at one time helped then connect with others wasn't fashionable anymore. To make matters worse when victims of that kind of thing gained a spotlight they felt attacked and like what they sincerely believed was harmless fun was bow being disallowed by society. But they found a fertile ground of others who were more upset by the changes happening. Social media and algorithms played on their insecurities and fed watered and fed their anger. It's why one of the biggest targets of their animosity are groups that would have never been accepted and part of what they see as woke culture.

    The sad thing is they didn't really have to change other than be a little more aware and be able to read the room. They felt a panic as they got busy with other parts of their life and seemed that time had passed them by and they had no idea how it happened.

    Now we are stuck with people feeding on bots, propaganda and no idea how to adjust to the current modern world.

    Weird how as Elon gets more involved in politics, the remnants of Twitter becomes more pro Nazi

    Yeah, Elon can say and do whatever he wants, within fuzzy legal boundaries, but the rest of us are free to not use Twitter (done) and, honestly at this point, not buy his cars either (also done). If someone's had a Tesla for a few years already, yeah, fine, but someone buying a new one? They deserve some societal side eye at this point.

    I am tempted because the financing is so low he is basically taking a loss on some of these cars now, but man f that guy - I'll change to the Kia ev6 or the ioniq6 when my current lease runs out next year (or just go back down to 1 vehicle)

    Tweets are a crutch. Someone feels a little cornered about his X addiction...

    Conservatives have weaponized misinformation as “freedom of speech”

    Do Russians, Iranians, and Chinese also fall under US free speech? If not, then why are they allowed to do so?

    Big Tech regulation has been on Congress' agenda since *at least* 2016 if not before, and the last major initiative was that bipartisan Tech Antitrust bill that, iirc was sponsored by Ken Buck, ) - which was introduced in the 2021 session - over a year before Elon destroyed Twitter (btw Twitter is too small now to be impacted by antitrust laws ironically lol)

    My question to you Jackie is not about any of these things however.

    My question is how

    ....a Korean immigrant to Germany immigrant to Texas immigrant back to Germany immigrant HIllary Clinton backer who moved to South Florida who hates Muslims loves Jews loves Nazis loves Orban Hates Putin is a lawyer but is now actually an MBA oh wait it's the "international executive MBA" program who is all in on MAGA and posts obesesively about transgendered issues on his way to Davos but also a very important high testosterone crypto tech executive - (WOOHOO it is funny to type all of that - it is just insane!)

    ...Gets his Big Tech News...

    ...From a ****ing idiot convicted felon like Dinesh DSouza...

    That (alleged) wife beating POS is mentally deranged among his many other flaws, but as an important tech CEO - it's malpractice to take advice from that guy!

    What changed in your life Jackie?

    I didn't read this sermon, but I bet it was more unhinged drivel by a frustrated ambulance chaser.

    Lol, I love that you can sum up my alleged bio in one line, while your alleged CV is a series of straight to DVD movie plots summarized by chat gpt

    He's basically a truthful person.
