I hate to be the bearer of bad news but... https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-66822781 you really only need read the last 2 paragraphs but things like Covid denialism conspiracies have sent him down a very bad path unfortunately.
Well of anyone's earned a cruel and unusual punishment itd say its the cruel and unusual RICHEST MAN ON THE PLANET! Fucking cry me river, build a bridge so you can get over it and I can burn it while you're still on it!
So what is the problem? He is upsetting leftist and some rightists. You want to upset more rightists? Go ahead, there is a platform called X.com for it. Just spew away within your countrys laws. I see no problem here.
He was lying when he said the first part. His beliefs were the same as they are today, he just realized that saying "I am going to turn twitter into a nazi clowncar packed with all the hatred and stupidity it can hold" was not a great idea when you are trying to buy it.
I don't use Twitter and always have problems in what order to read it. I would assume I should start in the middle, from the bubble as it looks like like some kind of quote but I'm not sure. I do webpages and web apps for ~20 years and I still don't get Twitter UX/UI. Ugh
I mean, the Guy was openly Dem, till the Dems started talking about massively taxing the Ultra rich. Then suddenly he was a Republican, but I'm sure they aren't related.
The rich will fight tooth and nail to keep as much money to themselves as possible. You don't get that rich without exploiting the fuck out of others. They will never give up their wealth voluntarily. They either invest most of their profit back into their businesses in the form of higher wages, benefits or expansion and innovation or they should pay taxes in the effective tax rates up in the 70%+ that will go towards social infrastructure programs that help everyone.
*taps watch* I thought Musk wanted to go to mars. You want to go to mars. We want you to go to mars *fingers interlocking motion* Win win. Everyone is happy.
it wasn't really that dumb. It was a different kind of dumb. This is sovereign citizen levels of "ha I changed my name so you can't get me" he instead tried to argue that X, the company, absorbed twitter but not it's legal responsibilities and so shouldn't have to pay the fine
Which is funny because - legally speaking - he bought Twitter out and THEN created the X umbrella for it. You can't put the cart before the horse, dude, X would have had to be its own entity FIRST for that to work :P
I've witnessed a few people have a similar slide from speaking reasonably to exhibiting belligerent stupidity in the last few years... it seems to happen over the course of 6 months or so. It's not exclusive to the GOP-end of the spectrum. Is it COVID damage, or some new species of brain-eating amoeba? Whatever it is, it's scary.
Yeah, turns out it was the South African immigrates causing problems. Well, mostly just one family of South Africans. But man are they just an awful family.
I kind of hope that Republicans actually do try this and get arrested, purely so we'll have undeniable proof that it's actually them committing election fraud.
In the 2020 election there was a grand total of just over 400 votes that were found to be fraudulent for various reasons. So even though that amount across the entire country wouldn't even move the needle toward "stealing the election" wanna have a guess which party was represented amongst the vast majority of those fraudulent votes?
I saw that one, he's got that special kind of autism that only appears every few months when you're an asshole and getting called on it, then immediately goes away again. Fascinating stuff.
It gets even worse when you realize Larry Ellison exists there too. Almost kind of hope that RDJ as Doom does some kind of commentary snub at the both of them.
He's yet another talentless rich kid with a useless degree from an Ivy League school with big ideas for how he can change the world. Guys like that are a dime a dozen. The only difference is, he stumbled into success.
I dislike Musk as much as the next dude but I wouldn't call a degree in physics and economics useless. My physics degree has opened a lot of doors for me.
His is actually honorary. He decided that taking classes was boring and left college to start PayPal instead. Which, since he was in the country on a student visa, made him an illegal immigrant.
Umm, did you google it? Why are you making me defend Musk? I can't stand him either but do fact check what you claim. His PhD from Stanford is honourary, his bachelor degrees in Physics and Economics were earned, it’s not hard to get your bachelors anyway. He isn't a genius, he’s pretty good at business and grifting though. He definitely learn them skills somewhere since he can't think them up himslef. His degrees probably helped with that, especially since the skills learnt on a physics degree/

The easy solution is for him to kill himself. I'd be cheering! We should make it a national holiday!

Everytime I hear people talk about how he is some kind of prime catch, it makes me throw up in my mouth. I have shit more attractive things than him.

That's so unlike Elon Musk. Normally he goes straight to the paedophile allegation.

You can only be punished if you did something wrong. Otherwise, it would be called torture. So I'd say a small part of him is self-aware

Yeah, turns out it was the South African immigrates causing problems. Well, mostly just one family of South Africans. But man are they just an awful family.

They should just arrest her.

They can't, she's rich and white

But also an immigrant, so some of their desired laws would still affect her.
