    LOL i tweeted a few minutes ago about how many bots have started following my account and said Elon was supposed to fix this... Well my tweet has been removed! No explanation, no notification, nothing, its just gone.

    Elon always talking about free speech and shit, he's one of the biggest idiot in America.

    • 95% of the followers I have on Twitter are bots, and since Melon took over I get 5 a day. Soon I'll be at Kardashian numbersPhanLo
    • Worry about free speech when this comment disappears. Until then I’m pretty sure he’s just cleaning up his private sandbox as he sees fit.monospaced
    • im just happy the bots keep liking my posts. It's all about the likes yeah?!Ianbolton
    • so can i put you down as "maybe" for a cybertruck preorder? cuz this is obviously GFY marketing for the most GFY truck if I've ever seen it.jonny_quest_lives

    Elon Musk says X will reinstate Alex Jones’s account after poll of users
    Rightwing conspiracy theorist was banned from platform in 2018, but could be back after 2m votes cast

    “The people have spoken and so it shall be,” Musk posted in reply to a poll on Saturday on whether to reinstate the Jones account. Close to 2m votes were cast by the time the poll closed, with about 70% voting in favour of Jones’s return.

    So in this Spaces roundtable Elmo is saying that the earth can hold 10x or more humans because earth is so big and only the big cities are densely populated. As if overpopulation has anything to do with actual living space but the way humans are treating the environment and resources. And in many parts of the planet people don't have clean drinking water or food. On top of that much of the planet is unhabitable because either too hot or too cold. Or other factors such as wars and environmental destruction.

    I didn't expect such a dumb thing to come out of him.

    This is a forum for "creative" types, most of us have worked in advertising and should easily see through Musk's shenanigans.

    What is he doing? He's selling cars.

    Six years ago he was still the smooth eco-minded California nerd who had sold the idea of a clean, overpriced, underdeveloped and still impractical at that time, electric car to California lawyers and dentists.

    When he released Model 3 and control over that segment went on autopilot, pun intended, he decided to move on to the lucrative market of pickup trucks.

    How does that smooth climate-saving California snowflake sell a Tesla to—I'm using a wide brush here but you know who I mean—rednecks?

    By becoming one of them.

    He put on a new persona. Turned right wing, changed his style, even moved the company to Texas. He's now someone pickup truck clientele can identify with.

    The GFY comment timed with the launch of the most GFY car in history is just the cherry on top of a brilliant campaign.

    • paramilitary guerrilla gangsta thugs will love this truck too...neverscared
    • Partially agree. Also just listen to what he’s saying. “You’re going to blackmail me with MONEY?” Emphasis on the money partnb
    • It’s called “Fuck You Money” for a reason. He has it, and he took Twitter private. He’s refusing to let other CEOs run his shit, even if he loses billions.nb
    • Don’t forget that he owns huge stake in both Tesla and SpaceX. Disney and Coke are not going to ruin this guy’s fortunenb
    • The government will pay him literally any amount for reusable rockets and a network of satellitesnb
    • Even if Twitter went bankrupt, Musk’s net worth would still be 300x that of Bob Iger. He’d still be the richest man on the planet, even after losing $40 billionnb
    • Think about that when you hear him say “you’re going to blackmail me with money??”nb

    • Interesting thought and makes sense but part of me doubts he’s so wily_niko
    • My take is that he desperately wants people to like him, he wants to be seen as a hero, and he isn’t a great communicatornb
    • Watch the interview. He says he cares an out people who are actually doing good, not just saying they support good. You cannot downplay Tesla’s impactnb

    Elon Musk Is Giving QAnon Believers Hope Just in Time for the 2024 Elections
    Musk’s recent use of the term “Q*Anon” is his most explicit endorsement of the movement to date. Conspiracists have since spent days dissecting its meaning and cheering on his apparent support.

    With no new messages from Q in almost three years and former US President Donald Trump facing mounting legal woes, one would think that the QAnon political conspiracy was losing steam. But, on November 22, Elon Musk may have renewed hope for conspiracists around the world: As the US was preparing for Thanksgiving, Musk tweeted “Q*Anon” out to his 164.5 million followers.

    Musk’s post, which has been viewed 7.8 million times, linked to a story referencing a secret OpenAI project known as Q* (pronounced Q star). Instantly, the online spaces where QAnon still flourishes—message boards, Telegram, and X itself—lit up with excited believers cheering Musk’s post. They claimed it was an endorsement of their worldview and, despite years of failed promises, confirmation that they were on the right path.

    • This is fucking stupid. Q* is the open AI model that is supposedly so scary. “Q*anon” was a bad pun. There’s no ambiguity about its meaning in context.monNom

    Man's gonna get hopped up on shitty pills and have a choke-wank using the IDF dogtags he was given the other day - they'll find him with his tongue hanging out and a rolling slideshow of rough CP on the telly.

    Howard Hughes had the style and creativity to become a full-on Vegas hotel weirdo, Musk is just a fucking z-tier shambles of a man with (really) bad fillers and plastic hair.

    Tesla Fans Frustrated by Musk’s Reveal of More Expensive, Less Impressive Cybertruck
    Handing off the steel-plated electric vehicles to a select few owners, the Tesla CEO did not directly announce their range or pricing

    Elon Musk appeared at Tesla‘s Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, on Thursday to unveil the long-awaited Cybertruck, first teased in a disastrous 2019 demo that left the prototype with two shattered windows. And while nothing broke during this launch, which was broadcast live on X (formerly Twitter), it nonetheless drew mixed reviews from Tesla customers, with some disappointed by higher prices and diminished capabilities compared to the vehicle’s target specs.

    The sharp-angled, stainless steel Cybertruck has been a production nightmare for Tesla, bedeviled by design flaws and repeated delays, and few have been finished to date. Musk drove one onto a stage about 25 minutes after the scheduled start time of the hyped event, which saw him hand off several of the vehicles to a select few owners — most of whom had to be shown how to open the passenger door using a button inside the vehicle.

    His latest diatribe / mind-vomit left me with one realization:

    The age of Trump and MAGA has a lot to do with why he did this, why he's applauded for it, and why it will continue.

    People have always been jerks, they've always had crass and inappropriate things to say, but MAGA normalized it.

    Ten years ago, would you have expected any CEO anywhere to a) speak out like that, b) be applauded for it (albeit by a totally predictable segment of society), and c) not be thrown to the curb by a board? No way, IMO, anyone would have been kept around for half the stuff Elon does that ends up being a massive threat to a financial bottom line.

    It's the proverbial downhill slide of society thanks in large part to the way Trump and MAGA have empowered and emboldened ignorance, lies, vindictiveness, lack of decorum, lack of self-respect, lack of respect for others, complete abandonment of professionalism, and willful stupidity that wasn't mainstream before Trump.

    Marjorie Taylor Green, George Santos, Lauren Boebert, Elon Musk, Matt Gaetz, and so many more are all a byproduct of what Trump ushered into this world. Empowered by a lack of consequences, emboldened by a desire to be more brash and extreme than the person before them, that's why we're here. They play off the intellectual abyss of their supporters, they thrive on it, and they exist because they're a mirror image of the traits, attitudes, and character (or lack thereof) of the people who love them because they have no idea they're being used to the degree they are.

    I realize Elon is a different animal altogether than the politicians I mentioned, but the equation is the same: he's worshiped and celebrated for truly ghastly behavior, by people who want to act exactly like him to the people they don't like.
