Elon Musk Buys Twitter

[Orange Joe]

Just a fyi most people aren't going to be able to open a door on a sinking car whether its locked of not. Water pressure will be too much for 99% to be able to open.


This is why it's always recommended to keep something that can break the windows.

It does however come in the flavour of shit he'd like/retweet/or comment upon agreeing.
Missing that most women who do that stuff don't say negative stuff towards a man because they've probably had experiences where they've done so and had a very adverse reaction.

Which is why it's so effective and why I saw multiple popular threads discussing it uncritically, with only a few folks bothering to check, "Does this hilarious tweet that's seemingly too on the nose even for Elon, actually exist?"

Doesnt help that without an account there you cant really check lots of tweets that good anymore as this shit is restricted to hell nowadays.

You can always web search the text of the tweet and the Twitter account's name. It's what I do because scrolling through historical tweets on active accounts is absolute ass and a waste of time, especially with someone as terminally online as Elom.

In the wake of a testy interview with Elon Musk, the former television anchor Don Lemon’s deal for a new talk show on X combusted just days before it was scheduled to air.

Mr. Musk called off Mr. Lemon’s partnership with X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, the day after filming an hour-and-a-half long interview with the former news anchor at SpaceX’s office in Austin, Texas. The conversation was occasionally tense, Mr. Lemon said, as he asked probing questions about the upcoming U.S. presidential elections, Mr. Musk’s reported drug use and his various business ventures.

Mr. Lemon said he would release the interview on March 18 on YouTube and would continue to share his content on X. “My questions were respectful and wide ranging, covering everything from SpaceX to the presidential election,” Mr. Lemon said in a statement. “We had a good conversation. Clearly he felt differently. His commitment to a global town square where all questions can be asked and all ideas can be shared seems not to include questions of him from people like me.”

Salespeople at X were blindsided by the news of the abrupt cancellation, as they had been working as recently as Monday to track the sale of ads for the show, according to an internal document seen by The New York Times.

The cancellation of a show that Mr. Musk pledged would have his “full support” is the latest self-inflicted business disruption at X in recent months. In November, Mr. Musk told advertisers not to spend on his platform, using an expletive to dismiss them, and accused them of trying to “blackmail” him after he appeared to endorse an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory on X. His comments kicked off an expensive exodus.

Damn, so much for FREEZE PEACH, and also I'm glad Elom handed off the day-to-day to Linda so she can collect a paychck for showing up to the office and occasionally going to events to speak about how she doesn't know what's happening at the company she's CEO of.

The sales team was blindsided by this? No shit, of course they were.

Mr. Musk said in a post on X that Mr. Lemon’s show lacked originality. “His approach was basically just ‘CNN, but on social media,’ which doesn’t work, as evidenced by the fact that CNN is dying,” Mr. Musk wrote. “And, instead of it being the real Don Lemon, it was really just Jeff Zucker talking through Don, so lacked authenticity.”

Mr. Zucker, CNN’s former president, now leads a media-focused investment firm, called RedBird IMI, and oversees EverWonder Studio, a production company that provides services to Mr. Lemon’s show.

Mr. Lemon was one of several headline-grabbing figures, including the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and the former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, who have forged agreements this year to produce long-form video content on X, as part of an effort by the platform to bring on content creators to generate premium content that brands would want to advertise against.

X had agreed to throw its financial support behind the creation of Mr. Lemon’s new venture, called “The Don Lemon Show.” But the company said in a statement it would no longer pay Mr. Lemon to create content for the site.

“The Don Lemon Show is welcome to publish its content on X, without censorship, as we believe in providing a platform for creators to scale their work and connect with new communities,” the company said in a statement posted on X. “However, like any enterprise, we reserve the right to make decisions about our business partnerships, and after careful consideration, X decided not to enter into a commercial partnership with the show.”

In a statement, a spokeswoman for Mr. Lemon said that he would continue to seek payment from X. “Don has a deal with X and expects to be paid for it,” she said. “If we have to go to court, we will."

Oh shit, legal fight! Legal fight!

X’s recent video deals — including the one with Mr. Lemon — were spearheaded by X’s chief executive, Linda Yaccarino, a former NBC Universal executive who has leaned on her television experience to grow X’s content portfolio. The tumult highlighted the challenges facing Ms. Yaccarino as she tries to woo advertisers and content creators to the platform under the shadow of Mr. Musk’s impulsive leadership.

Oh, so she may be doing something ace CEO but Elom is undermining her because of course he is.

Lemon is kinda a fuckin loser so this is kinda deserved on his part for thinking that Elom would actually honor a deal if Lemon didn't bend the knee and kiss the ring.

Damn, so much for FREEZE PEACH

Reasonable people like us know that, of course, a private citizen blocking something on their own company site is not a violation of free speech.

The fact that Elon Musk's version of free speech is now being used against him is still hilarious.

Stonetoss, the white supremacist/neo-nazi cartoonist that every even vaguely right wing account on Twitter will repost his nazi cartoons endlessly, ended up getting doxxed mostly due to public information. The person behind the Stonetoss comic was also linked to the comic redpanels, which is even more blatantly racist and pro nazi than even stonetoss was.

Why stonetoss is a Nazi: https://www.reddit.com/r/antifastone...oss_is_a_nazi/
Rationalwiki entry: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/StoneToss

This guy's personal name and city of residence on Texas were revealed on a huge post on Twitter. He complained to daddy Elon, and Elon started taking down every mention of his name on the site.

"Okay well he got doxxed, why is it bad that Elon is taking that information down?"

LibsofTiktok and many other prominent right wing figures have endlessly doxxed and invoked stochastic terrorism on many trans and LGBTQ people on twitter. Certain famous trans figures in the community had their entire battery of information, including real name and home address, leaked on twitter and endlessly posted over and over under their tweets. They reported these doxxings to the new Elon Twitter and nothing was ever done about them. The posts were deemed to have not broken Twitter's rules of harassment.

So yeah, as Elon sinks deeper into the alt right his clear bias shows that he never gave a shit about free speech nor about protecting people from doxxing. He protects his own while attacking any viewed as woke or left wing. It's a shame so many of these people built large followings around Twitter only for the billionaire manchild to ruin everything.

It seems that Elon has now made Stonetoss's real names into words that automatically get your post rejected. Nazis getting special treatment now.


On the other side, it seems that people are taking their suspended or banned accounts, appealing the bans with "My free speech is being suppressed by the gay woke mob" and instantly getting their accounts restored. Almost like there's someone doing all of the unbanning with an extreme right wing bent who doesn't even check what the accounts posted.

Stonetoss?

I don’t know any Stonetoss, I only know Hans Kristian Graebner who lives in Spring, Texas and who looks exactly like the sort of Republican politician who is very popular on Scruff.

These people don’t deserve privacy. Don’t be coy now.

More Elon lunacy.

Don Lemon was looking to start a new series online, and Elon Musk invited him to contract and do the entire thing on Twitter. Elon offered Lemon a cybertruck and $5m contract with stock options. They had both agreed these terms were reasonable going into what was supposed to be the first episode of Don Lemon's show that would air on the social media platform Twitter, or I guess X.

However shortly after the interview, Elon Musk canceled that contract and now his sycophants are saying THAT THE TERMS ELON AGREED TO INITIALLY AND EVEN HELPED WRITE UP were Don Lemon trying to extort Elon Musk, and Musk is agreeing with them.



https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/13/media...led/index.html

Lemon said he pressed Musk about the rise in hate speech on X since the billionaire took over the social media platform last year, asking him if he believed that he and the company had a responsibility to moderate hateful content.

“I don’t have to answer questions from reporters, Don,” Musk replied. “The only reason I’m doing this interview is because you’re on the X platform and you asked for it. Otherwise, I would not do this interview.”

Elon was looking for diverse voices to create exclusive content on X. He gets a diverse voice, one that asks him about the rise of hate speech and lack of moderation on X, Elon throws a temper tantrum and cancels the contract because Lemon is too woke or something.

Elon really does have a room temperature IQ

drugs have fried his brain, and that he was even entertaining paying Lemon in any capacity to begin with speaks to that. Don Lemon is a fucking idiot and has been for a long time.

Lemon's interview with Elon were the most softball of softball questions that literally anyone who's not addicted to culture war stuff would have asked. It's all stuff very normal people wonder about how Elon is managing his businesses right now, especially Twitter. And Elon got triggered and canceled a contract for an entire show.

To me it's just more proof that Elon has always been surrounded by yes men, and get mad when anyone questions his outrageously stupid decisions.

He came from a rich, Emerald mine owning family in apartheid south africa and accidentally tripped into a fortune when his own online payment services merged with paypal. The people working on Paypal didn't even want Elon working with them, I don't know how they convinced him to walk away and not ruin paypal while retaining his shares in the company.

Anyway casual reminder





Elon Musk was always a chud, he was just masking and pretending.

[uuuhname]

he's not a chud, he's a Nazi. for plenty of reason but not the least of which is how swiftly he came to the defense of one neo Nazi cartoonist "Stonetoss". certainly don't look into it, I would NEVER encourage people to look into that guy and his botched circumcision.

[Cthulhu 2020]

So anyway, some dude named Rafael has been testing out his cybertrucks in various offroading scenarios.

He's run it through muddy water and had it break: https://twitter.com/mrkylefield/stat...96131785908682
He did a small jump on some dunes and invoked a $20k repair bill damage.

Now admittedly he's been putting the cybertruck through its paces and it comes out fine most of the time, however the damages that require repair have been happening often enough that it's definitely meant to be a road truck and not an offroad truck. Sorry offroad brothers, just get yourself a proper mudding truck. Cybertruck chunks.

Don Lemon is one of the worst interviewers I've seen and yet somehow he still cooked Elon.



Don Lemon: You claimed DEI in medicine will hurt people. Do you have evidence for that?

Elon: No. But it could happen.

Don Lemon: So it isn’t happening.

Elon: *Stammering*

Conservatives: OWN THAT FRAUD ELON YOU'RE A GENIUS


Also Don Lemon responding to Tim Pool responding to Don Lemon grilling Elon on DEI in medicine:

Lemon: So you said if they kill the company, that's on them, but doesn't the buck stop with you?

Elon: You have 5 minutes left choose your question carefully

Lemon: Same question, doesn't the buck stop with you?

Elon: *stunlock* I acquired X to preserve freedom of speech and if that means making less money so be it.

Lemon: I'm not out to get you, I was just surprised you blame other people for killing the company. You seem upset by this question and I'm not trying to upset you.

Elon: You are upsetting me because your question isn't cogent. If you're an advertiser you can request that your ad doesn't appear next to certain things, but as an advertiser you can't censor an entire platform. We don't want them as an advertiser.

Lemon: What would you say to advertisers who have left the platform or who are considering coming back.

Elon: Well our advertisers are coming back and it's only a few that aren't coming back, ad revenue is up, subscription revenue is up and I feel very confident about the future of the platform.

Lemon: Honestly I don't mean to offend you, you're an intense person, where did you get that intensity.

Elon: I was born that way, I had a tough childhood.

Lemon: Where did that come from.

Elon: We don't have long left and I can't go over all of that.




Ah yes, Elon had a tough childhood. A childhood so tough that he grew up as a white kid on apartheid south africa with a wealthy family. So basically Elon's daddy issues are what's causing him to be an insufferable twat.
