Musk is a genius, he makes cars that self-combust and then tanks one of the biggest social media platforms in the world within 12 months, no wonder racists think he’s amazing.
@Tariq ibn Ziyad: Musk didn’t buy Twitter to make money.
The Biden administration was investigating Musk & were going to put him in jail for a long time. The Republicans/Conservatives didn’t care much for Elon as they considered him an odd man who made electric cars.
Then he bought Twitter unbanned the Republican/Conservative voices on the platform & gave them their cherished ‘free speech’.
Now he is a hero to the Republicans/Conservatives & they give him the political protection he needs to avoid being imprisoned by Biden.
Sure he lost US$20bn but it’s a small price to pay to avoid imprisonment by Biden.
Musk had better stick to blowing up rockets for now coz zuckerberg in coming for ye
Love him or hate him, Musk allows free speech on Twitter – something we are about to lose in Ireland if McEntee’s Hate Speech Bill goes ahead without serious amendments.
@Pat the Baker: of course, if you truly believe that, I’ve got a bridge to sell you
@Pat the Baker: Musk banned loads of journalists from Twitter who had been reporting on him? He also fired people at Twitter who disagreed with him? https://www.theverge.com/2022/12/15/23512004/elon-musk-starts-banning-critical-journalists-from-twitter
