Society/Culture Elon Musk - Takeover of Twitter?

[faible]

if he wanted to piss away a few billion why not give it to a worthy cause ?

He's a real shitty dude. He's exactly what you'd get if you gave a 14 year old incel a ****load of money.

what's the benefit to him for doing that?

he'd rather his weird friends than actually doing something good, it's as simple as that

Elon going full elon

"Only pseudo alpha male autistic people can rule over people!"

 

[Blue1980]

despite being a racist and overall POS, what is the benefit for Elon in allowing Twitter to go full MAGA ? Just because he can ?

Id argue that twitter, if run and moderated correctly, it would be the biggest and most valuable news service in the world.

Well it kind of was prior to Elon wasnt it? Not saying it was perfect, but he has made it worse.

I mean if you put his political opinions to the side, there are more bots, and misinformation running rampant than ever.

He's making the gamble that in the long run he will make money.

That's not about his fight for free speech.
It's about doing what certain Governments and political figures ask him to do.

And the nazis. Don't forget the nazis.

The Australian ones are still openly showing love for the fuhrer and inciting violence, getting around the rare bans they receive.

Shit has metastasized as you would expect.

Essential he's accepted the world as we know it will end soon and he wants to have a hand(or lead) in whatever the leftovers do. Kinda goes to the space stuff too.

There is a funny story about how he and Grimes first got chatting, it fits in with this world view

The tech giants are well above money and govt's. He has very little interest in money, who would after 1 billion, it just becomes more and more monopoly printouts

To nepo babies like him, his ego is the worthy cause

Back to pushing old school South African white supremacy.

Elon Musk keeps spreading a very specific kind of racism.

He is the "patient zero for this sort of stuff right now."

Someone should have necklaced this prick back in the day and saved us all a lot of bother.

A good old lynching hey. Keep up the good work.

I've said it a few times, he's exactly what you'd get if you gave a teenage incel a few billion dollars.

How people end up following Trump or Musk with cult-like determination is beyond me, they're two of the worst human beings imaginable.

They both offer a tacit endorsement to people being the worst versions of themselves.

I think you've got your answer about how people end up following them

That's their ideal

Elon likes the sugar hit that rage bait generates.. short sighted, get rid of all the trolls and bots then people would use the system more and then advertisers would come back..
