Starting my own Musk thread over here Date: May 13, 2022 12:24PM |
I think perhaps my response was too "political" for the snowflakes who lurk amongst the gang on the other side. I don't want to get blamed for having the thread moved over here.
Here goes:
My question is: if he is buying this to establish a free-speech outlet, then why is he worrying about the percentage of fake accounts? That is a financial concern re: advertising revenues/profits, not the concern of a supposed-freedom-loving-hero of supposed-First Amendment-rights.
It could be a negotiating tactic. It could be the beginning of his effort to wiggle out of this deal. It could be that his motives were never about free speech but instead some sort of convoluted scheme to trash Twitter's market share. Or whatever. The man is such a smacked ass. And yes, very Trumpian in his outlook on life.

Elon Musk praises Chinese workers for ‘burning the 3am oil’ – here’s what that really looks like
[www.theguardian.com]Quote
On Tuesday, the Tesla boss praised Chinese factory workers for pulling extreme hours while taking a shot at American workers. “There is just a lot of super talented hardworking people in China who strongly believe in manufacturing,” the billionaire said. “They won’t just be burning the midnight oil, they will be burning the 3am oil, they won’t even leave the factory type of thing, whereas in America people are trying to avoid going to work at all.”
…
Labor rights and safety violations have been reported at Tesla’s Shanghai factory since it opened in 2018, with some workers making as little as $1,500 a month in what an investigation by local journalists called the “Giga-sweatshop.”
Even in the United States, Musk is well known for his disregard for labor norms and work-life balance: the tech billionaire infamously declared “nobody ever changed the world on 40 hours a week”. He has bragged about making Tesla’s US employees work 100-hour weeks, while claiming to have worked 120-hour weeks himself. In March, Musk called an all-hands meeting for his other company, SpaceX, at 1am.
