major whatabout......meltdown continues...The US government has burned through about $200 billion waging a war in Ukraine, that could have been settled in March. There is no comparison to a private person acting at liberty and freedom to pursue his own interests with his own money and the money of willing participants, to the forced wasting of hundreds of billions of dollars needlessly, to serve the interests of our masters.
“Big protest in D.C. on January 6th,” Mr. Trump tweeted on Dec. 19, just one of several of his tweets promoting the day. “Be there, will be wild!”None of the bannings anyone complained about were planning attacks and insurrections,
Yeah, that's called free speech, and political rallies and protests are allowed, even big ones. There is nothing wrong with being wild. If you make calling for wild protests illegal, you'd make every left wing protest illegal. You know, every protest against monuments and George Floyd and Black Lives Matter and such were all planned and announced and organized via communications between individuals, on social media and otherwise. If calling for a big protest in Portland or Seattle or Philadelphia is illegal because some participants used molotov cocktails, lit fires and assaulted people, then you just made organizing protests and dmonstrations illegal. The only way you can't see that is if you declare that when Trump says it, it's incitement, when Democrats say it, it's not.“Big protest in D.C. on January 6th,” Mr. Trump tweeted on Dec. 19, just one of several of his tweets promoting the day. “Be there, will be wild!”
This is how you see that loser Trump?LOL, Twitter didn't look like a "right wing cesspool." It was biased toward the Democrat Party, for sure, and it was also biased to the neoconservative factions and the military industrial complex, as well as the security State. That's why Twitter's narrative control acted like it did. Governments use it to spread propaganda, and we saw that over and over.
If by "right wing" you mean the current crop of Establishment Democrats as well as the Establishment Republicans, all of whom are controlled by the Military Industrial Complex which also controls social media now, including but not limited to Twitter and Facebook and Youtube, well, then I agree with you. And, they clearly favor Biden and the Establishment Democrats, at least until Trump is finally silenced and ended. At that point, it will just be the establishments of both parties, and they will control the allowed narrative - if they want an emergency mandate, you won't be allowed to argue about it on social media because such arguments are dangerious and need to be silenced -- if we're talking about war with Russia (proxy or otherwise) then any protest of that will become treason, as it has with the Ukraine discussion.
No longer will we have any anti-war messaging of any consequence, like we had in the early 2000s over Iraq. The narratives are now controlled. That's why there is no liberal faction of any consequence that opposes Syria, Libya, and now Ukraine. There are no more voices among liberals allowed to oppose US bases in 85 countries, gone are the liberal voices opposing dark ops and CIA secret prisons. The Military Industrial Complex used the Trump situation to seize even greater control of narratives.
Maybe the unruly mob "identified as" an insurrection.There is nothing wrong with being wild.
I've always despised Elon as an anti-labour manchild poser and a fraud that unironically (and hilariously) tried to present himself as an IRL Tony Stark who rode his substantial privilege and family connections and the efforts of other, actually talented people (most notably and seminally Peter Thiel and Derek Proudian) to his current wealth and position.Everyone on the left loved Elon as long as he was making electric cars. Now he wants to cut the political strangle hold on social media and so now he is Hitler and the progressives hate Tesla.

Now, without any adults to steer him and curb his worst tendencies and impulses, he's self-destructing in a spectacular fashion.
Only a fool who's imagine of the left comes entirely from consuming Fox news could believe this. I think if you actually paid any attention whatsoever to what the left is actually saying you'll find they aren't especially fond of billionaires believe it or not.
Nope, Trump's a ****ing asshole who I am quite positive I would loathe if I had the unfortunate circumstance of having to interact with him.This is how you see that loser Trump?
He did make himself the target of the left's political ire by opening his big mouth.
I don't think anyone can dispute that.
He bit the hand that feeds.He's the guy that launched the EV market around the world. he was a legend in the green movement. Now he's a pariah because he also likes open forums.
I mean between his probable losses on Twitter and the cratering of Tesla's stock price he's absolutely been instrumental in causing (down more than half relative to the past 12 months), both with his behaviour and his stock selloffs to finance the disastrous Twitter acquisition, self-destructing is pretty accurate as a descriptor.Self destructing? I think you are wish casting....
That really isn't the whole of it, jmotivator. He is also openly backing Republicans.
If a hitherto well-respected apolitical business icon started trashing conservative values and politicians, and backed Democratic candidates, it would be reasonable to speculate that he would lose the support of a lot of conservatives if not earn their outright enmity.
Why do we need government subsidies?He bit the hand that feeds.
Can he find a new hand among the Ron DeSantis Republican Party he is trying to form?
Will that party all of the sudden favor government subsidies for EVs?
How can Musk turn a buck on his new found friends?

I don't know, but I will say people seem to like them, and our government seems to like to hand them out.Why do we need government subsidies?
Yes to all.He didn't know his place? He's off the plantation? He's out of pocket?
Yes to all.
White people doing white people shit for white people reason.When you hate someone because you can't control them the problem is you.
4 years ago, an entire thread of leftists criticizing Musk:I've watched the left sing Elon's praises for years right up until he moved Tesla to Texas, now they are all "I've always hated Elon Musk!"
4 years ago, an entire thread of leftists criticizing Musk:
6 years ago, a person getting completely wrecked for posting positively about Elon in r/socialism:
Here from our own good forum, @Questerr digging into Elon Musk in 2020:
Elon Musk Says He Has Moved to Texas
Elon Musk has finally had enough of California, and has moved to Texas: https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/09/tech/elon-musk-texas/index.htmldebatepolitics.com
2018, The Guardian calling out his long and continuous anti-union activities:
Tesla workers speak out: 'Anything pro-union is shut down really fast'
Elon Musk has said he is ‘neutral’ about a union but former employees blame their firing on their efforts to organize while current workers say a ‘culture of fear’ persistswww.theguardian.com
2020 Vaush, an anarchist communist, insulting Elon:
Is that enough for you to reconsider your silly statement?
I never said that. Twitter did not have an official position on politics one way or the other. Then the rat bought it and now they are saying "vote republican".So what? You think it's ok for Twitter to support Democrats, but not Republicans? Both parties are lying pieces of shit controlled by the military industrial complex. LOL The Democrat party is the war party now, dominated by neoconservatives who play brinksmanship games with the lives of millions of people.
Pretending it's not real makes you look bad.
It makes me a realist and proves I am in touch with reality.The news story should not have been censored. The fact that you support censorship makes you look bad.
You've been had by the establishment. Did they give you a kiss on the cheek, at least, while they buggered you? You actually think that you support the "good guys" lol. Well, if you're that far gone, enjoy your ignorance.
Some people's brains are so broken, so completely shredded by our modern political landscape, that there is exists only Republicans and leftists. The very idea that there could be thousands of moderates and independents who didn't care too much about politics and just liked Elon because of his electric cars is completely unimaginable. Such brains are unable to grasp the concept that any political view exists outside of conservatism and moderate liberalism. Yours, is one such brain.Yawn, here are thousands of leftists loving Elon because he made fun of Sarah Palin:
I'm a libertarian socialist myself. Personally I believe we should have the majority of the economy operated through worker cooperatives.We need a new ist or ism that serves all of the people better.
