Elon Musk Buys Twitter

[Edge-]

It's funny because they never ask, "Is modern conservatism actually just toxic and offensive?" is never a question that gets asked by the guy who thinks that platforming Nazi's is actually a good idea.

Know what's really attractive to advertisers? CEO's publicly agreeing with some misogynistic incel shit.

Is it possible he's aware that it's satire? Possible! But he gives no indication as such, and given that his tweets are forced in front of people whether they want them or not they may miss that important context in the post he's responding to.

Otherwise I just bothered scrolling through his replies out of morbid curiosity and good lord is he evoking some huge, "How do you do, fellow right wing kids." vibes.

I have much to get too but let's do the tantalizing part first.

Elon Musk blamed "birth control, abortions" to the impending collapse of civilization on Tuesday's Fox interview

Article and I'm going to link video also: https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1...289558530?s=20

Holy shit idk from video how Carlson transitions to this question with "Urge to have sex and procreate after breathing and eating is the most basic human urge" Stop right there eating and breathing is an "urge".

Watch or read but Elon goes into this crazy anti birth control and abortion rant about making kids cause he thinks civilization will collapse with whimper. People his mindsight is that of the right easily. He says that birth control and I guess abortions are making sex just for pleasure. You are supposed to have kids people! I always say that the right sees women as incubators and nothing else. Musk and his right wing turn this shows that one side.

Also I won't go too far into this but civilization will collapse if the population doesn't stay at current level or grow according to Musk is effin crazy. This is sorta a subject for the Overpopulation thread and Global Warming. Yet, his mindset for collapse is that of a pure simple minded capitalist. You don't need growth unless you want to sell more shit. With our advancing automation and technology we likely need less people to do most jobs, unless you want them to buy a new Tesla or tweet.

If any who like me sadly knows enough about Elon he has this weird fascination with populating the world. He has 9 kids and has commented numerous times about him helping add to the world population. I really don't get this mindset at all.

Oh a little social commentary here. Elmo and Tucker can't think that if you pay people a living wage, give them a home, provide health care, provide childcare, schools, lunches and name more <here> that people may want children.

its eugenic mindset not that hard to understand.

Here is the good explainer : https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/31/b...-eugenics.html

its a type of guy.

I always have to laugh about the collapse thing. Just read up about generational spacecrafts to be sent out to distant stars and how many humans they would have to carry to jumpstart humanity somewhere else.

Man, remember how Republican men keep saying they view women as more than breeding stock? Sure is weird that they keep talking about women as essentially breeding stock.

Should we listen to a twice-divorced single guy who appears to struggle to form a meaningful relationship with a woman when it comes to women's issues? I have a hunch the answer is, "No".

Former president Donald Trump appears quite unhappy with SpaceX founder Elon Musk’s declaration that he voted for President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.

Mr Musk admitted to having voted for the 46th president over the 45th during a recent interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

"I didn't vote for Trump," he said. "I actually voted for Biden. I'm not saying I'm a huge fan of Biden, since that would be inaccurate."

Writing on his Truth Social site in response, Mr Trump claimed that he does not believe Mr Musk — who has repeatedly said in the past that he voted for Democrats, but has recently come out in support of the GOP.

Rofl, everything surrounding Elom that wasn't already in place within the past handful of years is such a hilarious dumpster fire.

"Mr Trump claimed that he does not believe Mr Musk "

Trump is a narcisistic sociopath. He could read my posts and still think I voted for him.

That's the end of blue checkmarks.

We'll see how traffic changes over the next few months. Weeks?

It's kinda good, actually. Now it's really obvious what loser idiots spend $8/month for a free service in return for more targeted advertisements. It'll make mocking them much easier, or would if I actually ever used Twitter lol.

So Matt Walsh's socials and email got hacked. The hacker apparently did it just to stir up some shit. The dude had access to 20 years of Walsh's emails, and all he did was post some wild tweets on twitter. Then the reporter at the Daily Wire who reported on this got banned by Elon Musk.

Hacker missed a golden opportunity to find out if Walsh was actually fucking children or not I guess, oh well.

Microsoft is dropping Twitter from its advertising platform on April 25th. It comes after Twitter announced fees to use its API, with access starting at $42,000 a month

just to be super clear here, this isn’t Microsoft leaving Twitter or stopping its Twitter ads. It’s removing Twitter as an option on the advertising platform that it runs for advertisers to target their ad campaigns on social media networks

So it seems a bit of a roundabout thing, but it seems that Microsoft's own advertising platform, which let advertisers use it to run Twitter campaigns for companies that want to handle that all through a singular platform, is ditching Twitter. Which means advertisers will either need to find another way to run Twitter campaigns or they will simply no longer run them.

I'm sure this will be a big revenue-positive outcome for Twitter.

It appears that Elon Musk has decided to personally intervene to provide blue checks to Stephen King and LeBron James, falsely saying they paid for Twitter Blue, because each made high profile tweets saying they definitely wouldn’t pay for it. Billionaire manchild.

https://twitter.com/brianklaas/statu...6DxZvmKWA&s=19

So apparently and there are Elmo tweets admitting he is paying for a few Verified.

Who? Well Stephen King (tweet in link) who despises Elon's Twitter and LeBron James.

Hmm? Seems like you sorta let celebs who push traffic to have free check. Sorta like when original Twitter did this.

Nothing says they couldn't have / didn't download every email.

Normies who are paying $8 are crying about LeBron and Co. getting free verified.

Idiots still don't get that there is/was no equal Twitter. Just suckers who will pay $8.

The fact that we’re even discussing Blue Check marks is a Sad moment in society. Smh lol.

No, Ice T apparently isn't paying for his either. This is all so hilarious.

Also funny, all the people in the comments with blue check marks they actually paid real-ass money for unaware of the fuckin hilarity of all their replies.

Elon Musk on test flight: "Well we eventually want to make our rockets reusable, but the rocket exploding was totally intended this time."

I really wish @Skroe could weigh in.
