      Give them six years and depending on the election results and whether the SC feels like supporting democracy - after that it’ll be maybe considered that someone might wag their finger about it.

        I mean a US president was spreading lies about elections and look where that got him… Up for reelection.

    This is what he bought twitter for. This is what he wanted. I hope there aren’t any musk stans left who would be reading this, but in cas you’re not aware, this is the value of twitter

        “Stan” from the song “Stan” by eminem. Loyal fans to the very end, to the point of being unhealthy

      I just want to say that he didn’t intend to buy Twitter seriously. He was just blabbing his stupid ass mouth and got called out for it. He didn’t buy it willingly. He was forced to buy it.

      Now, he likes to try and make everyone forget that whole fiasco, and actively acts like it was his 4D chess move all along.

      Twitter, under Elongated Muskrat, is nothing special any longer. They have people using it, because people refuse to look at alternatives because they’re lazy as fuck. That’s it. Twitter does NOT have power.

    When Musk was first buying Twitter, this was one of the things I told people he would do. This was his plan from the beginning and seeing people, especially my friends and coworkers, finally realize this is cathartic and disappointing at the same time.

    Just think how outrageous it would have been if Jack Dorsey did the same thing. He probably would have been arrested, or at least dragged to Congress many times.

      it pays to be a gov contractor. imo we should have a law gov contractors can’t own media companies - a separation of media and state law. Its a conflict of interest

    There’s got to be some way of holding him accountable. There’s the saying that if someone who knows the law well enough examined the course of an average person’s day they’d be able to find some law broken if they wanted to. Can we really not do a goddamn thing about this shitbag?

      I mean there’s always stuff to be done. He’s still a bag of meat that dies if it gets run over by a truck. But legal options? Trickier. He has a lot of money and that buys protection.

      He didn’t commit treason or election fraud. He didn’t expose national security secrets or endanger government agents. He didn’t kill hundreds of thousands by denying the reality of a pandemic. He doesn’t have a long history of bank fraud or contract fraud or tax fraud.

      Anyone can be a jackass, anyone can get so self-centered to the point of self-destructive decisions. Unfortunately this one is propped up by billions of dollars, excessive fame, and his bs is risking what were once visionary companies driving us all toward a better future

    Probably mostly Russian troll farms, China troll farms, North Korea troll farms, and I’m sure there are other troll farms.

    I’d say it’s safe to ignore.

    Advertisers are still fleeing the Nazi bar, because no reputable brand wants their ads next to a tweet from @1488.6mwne that Elon decided to boost.

      Yeah, but look what’s happening. There’s articles about it effectively “re-tweeting” it to people who don’t even use twitter and we’re talking about it here. His views aren’t just confined to the bots on twitter.

    Well views, yes. I’m guessing a lot of those are looking for cringe. Still crazy, but I highly doubt the implied claim that he’s influencing billions with some kind of truth.
