Current Affairs Elon Musk

[Tommy Chong]

The right to free speech?

Not if he's knowingly allowing people to use his platform to spread misinformation, hate-speech and other such toxic rhetoric which incites violent behaviour, for the sole reason of generating profit. Which he does, and it's gradually getting worse every day.
That goes beyond free speech, and in fact is actually breaking the law in some instances.

Poor take. Cant tell if youre serious

Damn straight, I am.

He might still have you fooled, Zat. But not me, and most of the posters on here.

If there was a choice to work with / vote for / learn from:

A: A lovely person who would be a 50/50 on whether you would personally gain.

B: An evil horrible person who you hate and despise with every ounce of your being but theres a 100% chance your life would dramatically improve.

You would and should choose B every single time.

A every time Zat?!

Having personally been in the second option myself, I can CATEGORICALLY state that working for a toxic person does NOT improve your life at all, mate.
What it does do, however, is diminish your self-worth, erode your self-confidence, and make you chronically depressed, so much so, that it gets to a point where for the sake of your own mental well-being, you're forced to resign.

I don't know where you picked up the notion that working for a complete POS would be beneficial to your life!?

 

[Zatara]

They actually prefer billionaires and businesses that pay their taxes and contribute to society.

Or don’t you believe that everyone should be treated fairly?

Well those who want to actually make money are in republican states -- their staff are buying homes in republican states and spending in republican states.

Meanwhile...look at San Francisco downtown or the homeless in LA or the general opinion of NYC these days.

I dont use X or Facebook. Not really sure what ive been "fooled" about?

You have an entrpreneur with multi billion $ companies then it will benefit you for them to stay and spend in your state / country.

If i was him id have probably moved to Dubai by now.

I'd take the 100% guarantee that working for an evil bloke will get me more money than a 50/50 on a nice person...every single time.

It kinda depends on the external costs and effects of B doesn’t it.

Believe it or not, not everyone makes their decisions based solely on how it affects them personally.

That is the point of a vote and selecting what work path or learning path you take.

If youre going to learn from a scientist you choose the genius nutter, not the 50/50 nice one.

Regardless of the consequences to others?

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

What would be the logic?

There will need to be many lessons taken from recent elections, measures to tackle levers of foreign influence being one, literally buying votes being another.

Having worked for someone, who I wouldn`t necessarily class as " evil " per se, but who paid well and treated his workforce from top to bottom pretty much like disposable objects, who`s sole purpose was to make him money and work them into the ground in the process. I can tell you that not many people last very long in that environment and eventually reach a tipping point ( usually mental health / burnout or both ) and leave, even if it means becoming unemployed.

Every month from top to bottom, there`d be people leaving, sometimes en masse and it was almost impossible to recruit and train enough people to fill the holes left by those that left every month. It was a crazy way to run a firm, as all he had to do was treat the staff like human beings and with a bit of dignity, rather than drones to be ground into the dust.

Needless to say the owner is still a very rich man, but his company that at one point employed over 300 people doesn`t exist anymore.

You clearly value money more than anything else, empathy, decency, compassion and being viewed as a tit for instance

You genuinely seem so detached from normality, I’d suggested gated condo living is not good for the soul

Or you review the evidence, research, peer reviews and not base your opinion on personalities.

Musk is no scientist by the way

Ahahahahaha

Yes. Soon to be trillionaire is deffo the resistance.

Political resistance.

Musk is justifiably reluctant to visit Britain. The chances he would be arrested in Britain if he visited tomorrow are far greater than zero.

He's likely to be persecuted by the US authorities if a certain party wins next week's election.

The EU are threatening to fine all of Musk's companies that operate in the EU. All because of a disagreement the EU has with only one of his companies. Draconian.
