Current Affairs Elon Musk

As I said a few pages back:

A lot of Musk’s supporters seem to think that freedom of speech is their freedom to scream out the most toxic racism, sexism, transphobia etc. unchallenged, as seen by the ‘N-Word’ started trending soon after his “The bird is free” tweet.

Advertisers are twitchy enough as it is already, just saying certain words regardless of context can have entire videos demonitised on YouTube, so I imagine they’ll run a million miles away of Elons free speech haven regardless of user numbers.

He's beginning to find out the hard way that advertisers don't want to peddle their wares on a platform that allows you to say almost anything that you want unchallenged.
They need as much deniability as possible. Regardless of whether you agree with it or not, that's just how they operate these days and if you want to bring in realistic revenue from adverts, then you need to play by their rules or seek your funding elsewhere.

It just follows the whole free speech thing in general doesn't it.

You can say what you want, but others can react to that how they want. Free speech cancels itself

I keep on going back to @Bruce Wayne ’s comparison with Lizz Truss - she wasn’t ever considered the brightest spark whereas Musk has considerable hands on experience in business, marketing etc yet seems hell bent on setting his new investment on fire in an even faster timeframe!

Musk is just a better salesman than Truss was.

Can’t quite find the words to describe the world’s richest man desperately promoting paying $8 to bail him out of an ill thought out business decision. Irony? Satire? Karma?

As much as I detest Tw@tter and view it as one of the ills of modern civilisation, nobody deserves to have that psychotic madman at their CEO. Hey, if you were fired you were probably one of the lucky ones.

Is Clyde at the "...and find out" bit yet?

Does feel like he’s believed his own hype with this twitter buy out, way more public scrutiny than when we was just making cars and spaceships.
Would love to know the ins and outs of what went on behind the scenes when he changed his mind only for the courts to basically force him to go through with purchase.
Anyone know how much of his personal wealth is tied up in this deal?

He's a bellend who bought a venture whose whole point is to express un-nuanced and polarised opinion -- what did he think was going to happen..

His SpaceX nonsense is more of a childish fantasy than his mismanagement of Tesla and Twitter. I mean who the heck would want to go to Mars to live in a small box and eat green sludge out of a pouch while doing menial labor? So so so terrifically stupid.
