What are you mad about? 🤔
@realcaseyrollins dude.. seriously?
🇳🇱
I used to like musk, but now im kinda neutral on him leaning towards dislike.
I do think people make a bigger deal out of him than he is worth... his comments arent of any value most of the time.
He certainly ruined twitter... not sure I'd agree he ruined tesla, they are doing way better now than when he came in.
But yea I agree, he himself is not particularly remarkable in any way other than perhaps being good at making money. How much of that has been luck till now I cant say.
I am not quite sure that he’s ruined #Twitter. He’s certainly ruined pretty much everyone’s preconceived notion of #Twitter, at least in mission, as pretty much everyone is recognizing that the platform is no longer a left-wing hugbox, whether for good (“yay, free speech” says the right) or ill (“oh no, hate speech” says the left).
My main issue with #ElonMusk rn is that he’s promising a free-speech utopia that he will never provide.
There’s always the chance that the platform falls apart eventually of course, but that hasn’t happened quite yet.
@realcaseyrollins @stux @freemo
Free speech? That's a PR statement. He cares about controlling the reach of YOUR speech. So he can shut you up. Along with anyone else he deems undesirable.
Based on some examples i saw of posts about mastodon getting censored I tend to agree with you, he isnt free speech
I’m sure they still do censorship, but probably far less than before.
In any case, #ElonMusk’s refusal to reinstate #AlexJones’ account proves that #Twitter’s free speech claim is, as you all say, a mere PR stunt.
well free speech doesnt extend to libel/slander. So legally speaking that would be a disaster
Ah that’s a good point since #AlexJones was found guilty on those counts, I suppose. And perhaps some of those statements were made on #Twitter.
He certainly pushes the limits of what that term means
@realcaseyrollins @stux @freemo
Allow me to block you before we continue any further.
There!
Oh, the right wing kooks disappeared. Shrug
@freemo @stux @realcaseyrollins Same. I used to like Musk. Now it's clear he's just another piece of shit nazi
I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call him aNazi, thats a strong term... but he seems to be headed in that general direction perhaps.
@freemo @stux @realcaseyrollins we shouldn't shy away from calling these psychopaths what they are
No we shouldnt, but thats not what he is (yet)... As far as I know he has never called for genocide, he doesnt wield a swastika, I am not even aware of any cases of him vocalizing hate speech of any kind... What he has done is show some level of support for trump, which is pretty damning, and some right wing stuff... That alone is not enough to get flagged a Nazi IMO.. misguided sure, but a Nazi is a stretch.
@freemo @stux @realcaseyrollins I'm also somewhat concerned that due to him being autistic, his idiocy could be giving autistic people a bad reputation (society *already* doesn't treat us like people. I'd rather not have that get worse, instead of better)
@freemo @realcaseyrollins I use to love the shit he did with SpaceX and Tesla but this crap with Twitter did that all go into the drain...
Besides.. he only can takes other people their work and ruin it.
The guy can't do anything himself besides Tweeting lol
