For Musk free speech is code word for “things I agree with”
We’re the rain
Everything Musk says is a lie, just like his boyfriend, Trump.
Why the heck don’t we just deport Musk to Texas and then secede Texas from the US?
“Secede”
What happened to Mexico?
They moved to Europe after the election.
You can’t take mexico to europe, we already have Mexico in Europe.
Mexico in Europe: 🇪🇸
global warming
The blue part is obviously land
Oh I see now. It’s all Mississippi
he’s still rich though, he’d probably buy texas if we did that. Do you really want Musk to get his own country?
He’s already doing that.
Both getting to control a country and buying Texas.
America is so fucked
Always has been. 🔫
I wish you were wrong
Same free speech Putin practices.
As long as he absolutely gets to decide which speech is free and which is very very expensive
This, exactly.
All right wingers that scream about freespeech are screaming for the same thing.
The freedom for them to say whatever they want, and the freedom to silence anyone who calls them out and proves them wrong.
I’m not good at metaphors… Does this mean he’s using “X” to shield us from free speech?
That’s exactly how the image reads to me, lol.
I mean no, the shield would have to face the other way for it to be blocking free speech.
The way “FREE SPEECH” is up at the top, it looks like it’s labeling the rain going past his shield, while he is blocking the rest.
It is a good metaphor, just maybe not fpr the reasons he thinks
“Free speech” means “hate speech” when right-wingers say it.
That is the only thing free speech means to them. One sided uninterrupted and unchallenged propaganda.
Fuckhead lies just like his orange catdaddy
At this rate, social media companies will start censoring Luigi images like China does Winnie the Pooh.
Elon, go back to Africa.
Fascist Henry Ford mk.2
So… Henry Ford 2.0.
Yes but this one is also completely brain dead.
Ketamine is a helluva drug…
Henry Ford doesn’t deserve to be compared to Elon the dipshit
Unless the speech is “shooting CEOs is OK.”
Musk is just another dipshit authoritarian, who thinks “speech” is reserved for people that matter (billionaires). He’ll sue the ass off of anyone else whos speech he doesn’t like.
Elon is busy turning X back into an echo chamber, except the pendulum has swung to the other side. It’s a shame people find such solace in echo chambers – intellectualism does not progress if you only speak with people you agree with. Indeed, it narrows conversation and thought so much it just turns into a circle jerk.
Guess what? The real world is nasty and dirty and you are never going to agree with everyone. A preschool isn’t as safe a space as what Elon wants to (re)create.
I like the balance we’ve found on Lemmy. We can discuss some pretty conservative ideas, but there’s zero intellectual value to transphobia or any other hate speech. People shouldn’t be required to re-explain their right to exist every generation.
Is he seriously posting cringe like this?
My guy he posted about being banned from PoE2, a mostly PvE game, for cheating. Literal man child that cannot beat AI enemies.
it shouldn’t be too surprising that he cheats in online games given that he cheats in pretty much every other aspect of his life as well
The richest man on this planet. What the fuck are we doing
I’d argue that Putin and perhaps some Saudi royalty are richer but we don’t know those numbers. But yeah agreed in general of course.
I didn’t even see that one, was it like super obviously “in just so good and amazing and smart they banned me for cheating”
He literally said he was banned for playing too well
He, or someone he paid to impersonate him online, is the number one Diablo 4 player in the world. I played it for a couple months, it was pretty fun, but to get to that level you’d have to be playing it like it’s your job.
Keep in mind, he has an extremely demanding job. Five of them, in fact - CEO of Tesla, Neuralink, Boring, SpaceX, and X Formerly Twitter. And he manages to find enough time in the day to play Diablo 4 at the highest level and also advise the president elect on policy.
So either he’s on amphetamines 24/7 to keep up with what I assume is a hellish workload even for companies that rarely need C-level input to function, or he’s majorly full of shit and half asses all of his jobs and plays video games all day while boasting about what a successful hardworking guy he is and how he totally deserves that gorillion dollar benefits package.
Could be somewhere in the middle. I imagine there’s a cottage industry of designer drugs for the ruling class and their bubble. People say he does a lot of K but if it’s K I’m sure it’s 100% pure. He probably has access to five different amphetamines, each for a different purpose, with minimal side effects. I truly envy the ultra rich for their no personal risk drug access.
I know if I were a billionaire I’d be hiring the brightest minds in chemistry to create all kinds of drugs, therapeutic, functional, or recreational. Pure and safe. Create a pharmaceutical corporation that does real work and then pay the shadow chemists top dollar for secret R&D. The difference is I would try to find a way to give it away for free. Or find a way to get it to high level criminal leaders to distribute for low cost with high volume. Safe alternatives to fentanyl, etc.
Just daydreaming here as I’m off tomorrow and I only have alcohol and weed.
Edit- to actually respond, I think the only company he really touches with any regularity is Twitter, with obvious motives and results.
SpaceX - Has done very well and genuinely benefitted the progress of humanity. No indication he messes with it much anymore. I’m glad it exists.
The Boring Company - Don’t think he’s touched it in years. It’s a front company to deliver barely more than jack shit and big promises. It’s purpose is to undermine high speed rail and other infrastructure, to benefit:
Tesla - Kicked electric cars into high demand which I’m grateful for. But their vehicles suck and they’re far too expensive. I don’t think he touches this much anymore beyond the cybertruck.
Neuralink - Finally this. I think he lost interest in it. Killed a bunch of apes, helped some severely disabled people. But from what I understand the people who gained in ability are seeing their implants become less and less effective. I like the idea. I would definitely become a cyborg if someone offered, but I don’t think I’d let them mess with my brain or spine yet. I hope to see super cool implants developed from the data they’ve gathered, but they’ll probably hoard it. And of course once they’re safe, the implants will only be for the ultra wealthy.
He was number one on an unofficial leaderboard with around 880 recordings uploaded to it
He’s posted way weirder stuff than this.
I mean the Taylor Swift thing where he said he’d have her babies and protect her cats was pretty bad and I swear that isn’t even close to the worst.
However, I’m not on X though so I don’t have to look at the weirdness.
Yikes, elon makes me feel normal holy shit.
Have you met the guy? (I’m sorry if you have)
That’s all he does, no reason to get excited
Depends, what do you do with the excitement? The fact that this is the news of the world that we get, that the state of the world is what it is right now?
I disagree, I just don’t wish people took some more time to introspect as to what their senses show their surroundings to be, and how.
I can see the British east india trading company saying the same shit you just said, but to Gandhi. I don’t mean it as an attack, just wandering thoughts.
Sorry, I know it’s irrelevant. People don’t seem to like that.
He knows his audience
A vote manipulation farm somewhere in Asia?
People who value and are moved by symbolism and kitch
