So what exactly is wrong with Elon Musk? He seems a bit weird

It'll probably be good for humanity to see how disgusting people really are again, rather than pretending we're all amazing by banning people from public view.
We're not good people. Why on earth were we pretending we were?!

I have talent for spotting people like that.
@Sweet Square can you confirm this?
As if twitter couldn't get any more toxic
In a way, I'm glad this is happening. People love free speech as an abstract value. Many (me included) would dislike spending lots of time in a site with actual free speech.

hes going to tweet himself into bankruptcy 
Not only are you just wrong in general, but one side of the political spectrum lies far more than the other(this has been proven on many occasions), so what you call 'playing clear favorites' is actually just proper moderation.
He has been acting like a child for years at this point and his net worth keeps going up. Why would it change now?hes going to tweet himself into bankruptcy
He won't go bankrupt, but his Twitter investment will hurt his wealth. There's no way for him to get government subsidies or contracts with Twitter the way he does with Tesla and SpaceX.
He's clearly got serious personality issues. The amount of time he spends on Twitter is indicative of someone with no actual life or anyone willing to tell him to log off. It's like he's going through his mid-life crisis by trying to be a teenage edgelord who happens to be the wealthiest man in the world.
Because this time he bought a failing company for $40 billion, several times what it's actually worth, and within a week he's publicly complaining that advertisers are fleeing in droves.
He's not going to go broke or anything, because just being a billionaire is enough to make money, but this is so far looking to be a massive failure which even threatens his other (actually profitable) businesses.
I wonder how many celebrities will leave rather than pay for the blue tick…. and whether Elon’s arsed.
He seems to be reversing course now the advertisers have threatened to pull out…
He seems a dipshit but most of the blowback on this is the democrats fear it will negatively impact them for midterms
Will hurt economically but even more his ego
Yes it is. Nobody cares about this as a consequential thing except liberals or corporations who fear that they're going to lose liberal business if they don't duck out early.No it isn't
What an insane thing to say, given the response.
How so exactly?
He took a stab at it and missed.No it isn't
What an insane thing to say, given the response.
There’s a whole world outside America with strong opinions about this.
He makes this deal in December instead and the pushback is at least 70% less severe
If you think opinions outside America matter on things like this I've a bridge to sell you. They're a battlefield for domestic US politics
"I don't care, therefore only X and Y care". It's the next evolution of "I don't do X, therefore everyone who says they do X is lying". This post says a lot more about you than it does anyone else.
You realize this post basically contradicts your other post?
Explain how please my liberal friend. I am happy to be wrong
No it is not, its people screaming ni***r ni***r ni***r, "Shut up jew" etc and not getting banned or taking forever to get banned, or in fact reinstated. Not to mention the increase of Q-level shit being shared some of which by the CEO himself.
Explain how please my liberal friend. I am happy to be wrong
I'm not a liberal, so you're wrong already.
That was already happening for years and years. Loads of screenshots of racists laughing at people posting failed reports on them where overt racist language didn't get them kicked off
Oh right of course, but please explain the contradiction
Initially it was like that then after the blowback moderation was tightened, and now it is going again in the other direction. And you didn't say anything about the account reinstatements.
I don't think moderation should ever have been tightened as it was (shadowbanning of popular accounts for political reasons) so I don't really care that they've now gone the other route of being far too lax. Most of the N word spamming was a reaction to a perception that they couldn't be banned for it anymore and became a meme on its own
The contradiction is that you first claim that only liberals and corporations care about this, and that it has everything to do with American politics, and then you mock someone who isn't American, claiming their opinion doesn't matter. Which is it? Either only liberals and corporations care about it because of the American politics, or non-Americans with opinions about it unrelated to American elections are irrelevant.
So antisemitism is fair game then?
Only liberals and corporations care about it because of the midterms (corporations are not so much politically motivated but they know liberal consumers will be more motivated for boycotts etc if they don't make an early move). And yes non-American opinions are the absolute last anyone with a big say in this will consider. Its not a contradiction.
I do feel I'll end up taking over the thread so perhaps I will leave it at that lads
So those non-Americans with opinions don't care about it? Because if your premise is that their opinions don't matter, you've already conceded that non-Americans have opinions about it. Which they obviously do, since this thread is filled with international supporters of an English football club, on an Irish-ran website.
I might be nitpicking, but nits are there to be picked. Or something.
I think you are nitpicking my communist friend
(commie? social democrat?)
