….promoting hate speech, violence and deliberate disinformation counts for rightwing free speech these days.

Musk is bleeding $$$

How about privacy and data protection? You ok with how that is handled now?

Lecturing us on the exact same things you did and whining about it...NOW...doesn't make a lot of sense now does it?

You can't tell that lie anymore. We now know empirically that it's not true. That's what caused you people to lose your shit. You got exposed.

Empirically speaking…

Elon Musk has lost a gigantic part of his fortune. He was even displaced as the richest person in the world because of his losses.

For whatever reason, a lot of people believe that whatever a rich person says must be gospel. Elon Musk took advantage of that by buying stocks in certain companies and then fluffing them on Twitter to juice their stock price. Or he would shitpost about a company and then buy the stock cheap when it fell.

The SEC got tired of these antics and finally had enough. See here: SEC.gov | Elon Musk Settles SEC Fraud Charges; Tesla Charged With and Resolves Securities Law Charge

But that didn't stop Musk. He decided to gaslight Twitter users and said he would buy Twitter for well above the current stock price.

So Twitter sued him to do just that, and Musk lost in court. So he was forced to buy Twitter.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/24/tech/elon-musk-twitter-acquisition-countdown/index.html#:~:text=Musk%20in%20April%20agreed%20to,follow%20through%20with%20the%20acquisition.

Musk had to borrow $44 billion to buy Twitter. He's losing his ass.

We are all familiar with his attempts to cut costs and raise money. Mass layoffs. A three-tiered pay-to-play check system.

But he's still losing his ass. Advertisers are fleeing. He's bleeding money.

Even worse, Tesla stock is crashing due to a loss of confidence in Musk's ability to pay attention to that company.


What to do. What to do.

Musk is now attempting to boost traffic on Twitter by shitposting. Musk is a world class troll. Nobody shitposts like Musk.

Musk also allowed Trump back onto the platform in an attempt to boost traffic. But so far, Trump isn't biting. If Trump moves to Twitter, his own Truth Social will tank even worse than it is doing now.

And this is how we have arrived at the Hunter Biden nothingburger. Musk played up a rather boring conspiracy into a scandal for the ages.

Twitter took down some dick pics of Hunter Biden at the request of the Biden family. OHMYGODZOMG!!!

Twitter withheld a link to a NY Post story about Hunter's laptop for TWO WHOLE DAYS!

Liberal environmentalist Elon Musk is punking the MAGA herd to boost traffic on his failing platform.

That's. It.

You really must work for the CIA. You parrot the Establishment line 99% of the time and off just 1% to pretend that you're legit

Tesla is still selling at some 30x forward earnings, after falling over 30% this month alone. Still a LOT of room to fall, imo. Remember Elon Musk was one of those “geniuses” pushing crypto stocks too.

Musk just promised not to sell more of his Tesla stock over the next two years to try to reassure the market. But he said that twice before, then sold a total of 40 billion worth! Now his shares in SpaceX is the main source of his wealth and he is no longer “the richest man in the world.” Of course his self-promotion also landed him into his money losing purchase and short, but remarkably chaotic, reign at Twitter.

Nobody should trust a word out of this man’s mouth. He is no friend of ordinary working men in America. He has contempt for us, and his populism is as phony as Trump’s was.

Who knows where Mr. “We will coup whoever we want! Get used to it!” … will end up. He was a brilliant self-promoting oligarch / industrialist who did well when money was essentially “free” for the well-connected. Will his companies survive the new period of tighter money (and decoupling from China)?
