Do you have Grindr?

So no quaking here

Until his investors realize what a con he is and dump his shares then he has no money.

So the "He's so stupid!" is really a claim of "His investors are so stupid!" and actually even that is base don pure imagination on what might happen... some day?

... compelling.

It's amazing how quickly you folks jettison the guy who came closest to making the electric car viable and is pushing the private solar panel market.

I've been a Musk critic for years. Don't care about what he's doing with Twitter. His solar company is a scam and his cars are shit.

Regardless of what you think of Teslas, there wouldn't be an electric car market without Tesla.

I don't like electric cars in general, but there is no denying that in the land of the lepers, Tesla is the guy with the most fingers. (to paraphrase The Two Jakes)

It's also amazing how many "I've hated Elon forever" posts come out of the wood work from liberals only after Elon's politics changed. That doesn't include you, I'm sure, but nonetheless.

I can only conclude that either most of those claims are just lies attempting to virtue signal or, deep down, liberals hate each other and are just waiting for their fellow travelers to give them a reason to admit it.

Since the first Thunderf00t video exposing his scams. And he is no friend to the liberals you speak of.

Oh please, he was the darling of the liberals when he was building the global electric car market, and again, if anyone hated him back then they sure didn't say anything. The open hatred of Musk really only started boiling up when he announced he was leaving California for Texas.

Maybe you weren't paying attention.



That's a playlist.

Not everything is politics.

I'm not sure what you think you are arguing, but a small YouTube channel doesn't exactly represent the Liberal Mindset...

In fact, most of the people who reveled in Elon's Musk's failures were conservatives just a few years ago. Pretty much every leftist I've worked with either owns a Tesla or desperately wanted a Tesla... until about 1 year ago.

Also, that channel apparently has no sense of humor since it "busted" an Elon Musk joke regarding putting rockets on a Tesla.

Perhaps the series busting femisim would be up your alley. Again, this has nothing to do with politics. Not for him, not for me. And small, lol.

Because they fear that a free speech policy may allow ‘conservatives’ to share their opinions (on what has become the public square) as well.

Twitter is not anti-conservative. Look at the millions of conservatives who post dozens of times every day. Twitter is anti-misinformation. The alt reich MAGA morons don't know the difference between the truth and a lie, so they stupidly claim that when their lies are censored that it's because they have a conservative lean.

It's yet another steaming pile of horse shit imagined by the right media that their minions have eaten without tasting.

I don't think "liberals" have any consistent take on Musk. But experts in any field Musk claims expertise in are VERY consistent. Ignore politics completely, he's a pretender. Read what people said about his code when he was at x.com. It was TERRIBLE. Hell he needed help running a python script.

Take the "hyperloop". He proposed a vacuum tube transit system that ran on air bearings. Just let that sink in... A person seriously proposed using air bearings..... in a vacuum... and never asked themselves why that might be a VERY dumb idea. No politics in the world is going to turn that idiocy into a good idea. It's not that he's come up with brilliant ideas that no one else has ever heard of, he runs with idiotic ideas that anyone with a grain of sense long ruled out as infeasible. Mass public transportation using small sedans running on an underground tunnel with at best a driver for up to 3 passengers? A moving walkway or a tram is INFINITELY more sane.

That said, he does have an uncanny ability to part idiots from their money. SpaceX has already needed another 2 Billion in additional investment funding this year. So that's 127 Billion dollar valuation with 2 Billion in revenue and 2 Billion in net losses. A 60x multiplier for a 20 year old company that's hemorrhaging money? Insanity.

That (bolded above) assertion is nonsense. The existence of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop was not (likely Russian?) misinformation, yet Twitter (and the FBI?) decided to treat it as such. The COVID-19 vaccines (and boosters) did not prevent those ‘fully’ vaccinated from spreading the disease, yet Twitter decided (assumed or guessed?) otherwise. Expecting social media moderators/algorithms to act as the ministry of truth is BS.

I wouldn't use that channel as a bellwether for any ideology. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have never had nor do I ever intend to have a Twitter account. The MAGA stuff is toxic and destructive. Everyone ought to know that. People died of COVID because conservatives lied about it. Qanon is literal, certifiable insanity. The Big Lie threatens to destroy the entire country. I personally couldn't care less what anyone posts on Twitter, but I am 100% sure that more than half of Americans are technically morons. If Twitter has to enforce its own rules to prevent a few people from eating laundry detergent, boiling cough syrup, and attempting a violent coup, I'm fine with it.

The "truth" is a fickle bitch, tho it will set you free, it's going to piss people off FIRST!

The "truth" has always been buyer be ware, it's really not up to Twitter to be the "truth police".

People need to learn not to believe everything they read, text books are littered with opinions masquerading as "truth". If not outright lies.

Often times the truth in in the eye of the beholder.

If Musk turns Twitter into an Alt-RIght propaganda site it will die, and he and his investors will loose tens of billions.

I like seeing The Who's who of dumbass billionaire loose money, there is more than a little social justice in that.

If nobody ever lied, people would not learn how to judge facts from opinions and pure BS. The truth is everyone lies, all the time and the Alt-Right doesn't have a monopoly on propaganda.

If Musk turns Twitter into an Alt-RIght propaganda site it will die, and he and his investors will loose tens of billions.

We have a miniature version of this happening in Los Angeles with local independent station KTLA Channel 5.
They showed a lot of guts by expanding their local news larger than any station on the dial, and then found the secret sauce by adopting "We take the NEWS very seriously but we don't take ourselves seriously".
So when there's a slow news day, you can count on doubling over with laughter.

The formula worked, catapulting the plucky indie station to Number One in the L.A. market for the last twenty-five years.
Then Tribune overextended themselves and, despite KTLA's stellar performance, the station found itself for sale.
Sinclair tried to vacuum them up but the attempted acquisition of Tribune failed and KTLA was instead purchased by Irving Texas based Nexstar.

Well, in the last year or so Nexstar has been quietly rebranding KTLA Channel 5 and viewers are beginning to notice.
Gone are the rock and roll acts that used to be featured in Hour Three segments on the weekend morning news, replaced almost exclusively by country music, and now the nonstop
California bashing stories are littering the landscape on Channel 5.
And then came the massacre where no less than SIX well loved anchors and reporters have been laid off, fired or left in disgust.
And the viewer ratings are now tanking.

Seems Texas based Nexstar thinks a Los Angeles station should look and feel like they're part of Texas.
Someone needs to sit CEO Pat Sook down and make him watch the scene in Casino where Sheriff Pat Webb explains the facts of life to Ace Rothstein.

No, everyone does not lie all the time. I don't even know what could have led you to make such a disturbing statement. The alt reich does not have a monopoly on propaganda, but it is the the only entity of such a large scale that I know that exclusively deals in lies, conspiracy theories, and bat shit insanity.
