Welcome to Thunderdome

And why I said, "Exactly" earlier.

Musk just became the largest shareholder of Twitter and has joined the board of directors. Why start a new one when you can just take over the existing one?
I wonder if he actually believes this is true?

Bye!

Feels like resigning just makes it easier for Elon to fuck it all up.

If you want to quit, quit. Dicknose is just making a whiny statement for attention.

Yep. Also, "bullies, bigots, and spam" sure does seem to be code for "anyone that has a different perspective or opposing viewpoint". Remember, Twitter immediately banned the account of the folks who caught the CNN producer on video discussing how they worked to influence voters during the election and what they were targeting next.

Actual hate speech, calls for violence, and such should be offenses that get you banned. Not revealing how a left wing news outlet manipulated voters.

The demographics of Twitter are disproportionately young and left leaning. Meanwhile, the voices being banned most often are right leaning. Sure, a LOT of them deserved it *cough*Trump*cough*, but as shown above, not all. Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure bullying includes silencing your victims.

Anyone you would care to have on Mars with you, prolly.

Can't wait to see that upvoted on /r/antiwork

A Musk tweet from last night is getting a lot of press and some dude's data (from I don't know where) seems to back it up?

I do know Musk is a socialist, so the current demonizing of him as a right winger is pretty much all the proof his tweet needed.

To be fair, people on the left saying that chart is wrong, but someone on the left posted their own data chart and folks pointing out that being wrong too. So ignore the chart and just enjoy a socialist who made a meme about being portrayed as a right wing nut job by left wing nut jobs.

I saw a thing yesterday, was it here? Some guy posted on twitter, "If you are hurt emotionally by Elon Musk purchasing Twitter, then you are one of the most priviledged humans to ever exist on this planet."

Yes here in the Twitter thread.

This is the stupidest fucking tweet I've read today

I saw an article... on Yahoo maybe?...earlier today discussing why people like Elon are experiencing such a huge wave of support and popularity. The theory is that it has to do with people becoming so disgusted and untrusting of our political leaders.

Makes sense. No silver lining anywhere in there though.

Elon is like a Heinlein protagonist. "Oh, you want to tax me? Tell me what you want to buy and maybe I'll buy it."

In this case, he got tired of waiting for NASA to not be an ineffectual, bureaucratic jobs program.

Weird that Musk doesn't know it

Elon Musk declared that he’s going to vote for Republicans, saying the Democrats had become the party of “division & hate.”

I would like to explain to him that both parties preach division and hate.

Vote third parties!
