I've said it before and it's worth repeating, the world owes Elon Musk a great debt.

His purchase of Twitter may go down as the single most important purchase that helped maintain the American system of civil liberties, your Constitution and even perhaps your fiscal health.

Above and beyond the ability to counter the narrative that Americas enemies made when social media was stifling Trump and destroying free speech that "America is just like us".

It is the argument China in particular was making but also Putin. We saw him make similar comparisons when calling out Canada during covid.

Yes, he overpaid for Twitter but in due time, the entire world will see the benefit and for all we know millions of lives will have been saved.

X is one of the last bastions of truth we have here now. But that is changing. There is a mandate we sent out for the news media to stop lying. We'll see how it goes.

You’re not wrong.

It seems to be all coming together this time.

There's just too many billionaires onboard the Trump train to ignore.

We are witnessing HISTORY!

Our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor!

He also single handedly helped save the US space program which Obama basically gutted and tried to make an outreach to Muslims of all things.

No, Musk did not save NASA, NASA was directed to use contract for hire space missions to develop a commercial space program and open up a new industry.

What about the lying media on the right that lies constantly, I bet you think they are kewl.

You sycophants better get urself some new knee pads

 

[shockedcanadian]

What a load of worshipping shit.

I had my account that had 7000 followers 6 years ago but then experienced shadowbanning and followers disappearing which just lead me to walk away. Twitter was just a source of censorship based on the police apparatuses on both sides of our border I presume. Just for his sacrifices alone in returning online Free Speech to the West he deserves immense credit and support. Those of you who are so flippant about the value of free speech and civil liberties should read a history book or two. This isn't worship, it is admiration and the recognition of this truth.

I couldn't give a shit about followers or being on social media since they censor what I really want to say. Just like this place.

If they censor you here than speak out. Censorship if for cowards. There have been many cowards in history and it never leads to good outcomes for humanity. Often not even themselves...

Obama wanted all US satellites to point to Mecca 5 times a day

Space X launches 80% of all the world satellites

Though he was forced to overpay for Twitter once he learned that millions of Liberal Twitter accounts were bot, he paid full price — but will likely triple what he paid for Twitter. He has a server farm of 100,000 of Nvidia most advanced chips up and running and will combine X and AI to compete with ChatGPT AND Googles search engine

I find it amusing when some fool says trump or musk does it for "greed".

They are BILLIONAIRES! They have more money than they could spend in a life time. Greed couldn't be less of a factor!

They could be on a beach listening to the ocean and sipping a drink with a little paper umbrella in it.

Instead they are risking their time, effort...their fortunes and even their lives to uphold the ideals that are AMERICA!

I'm sure he wishes he didn't throw out the large number he did because it is clear in retrospect that he was overpaying due to the artificial data they provided but he knew he could take on the challenge. He probably didn't sleep more than 4 hours on any given night the first month he took over that over staffed behemoth.

It takes a man with great courage and proper prioritizing his life to say "I could lose billions here, but, I know that I love America and what it represents so I will go forward." This could be his legacy long after he is gone. He showed in this moment that he is not rapacious, he just wants to do what he knows is right.

When he told a crowd of wealthy corporate CEOs to "go F yourself", he was repeating publicly and directly what he has for years. When I saw that I said "this guy is real, he's not messing around anymore".

He cannot be bought and in fact, like any person of character, he finds it offensive to try and buy him. He would more respect someone if they called him the worst names in public or tried to beat him in the business world than he would if you try to basically blackmail him to bend to their will and stifle free speech. I saw this with the nefarious tactics some used to try and destroy Tesla when they were shorting his stock and trying to generate negative news about them.

There is no wonder when he saw Trump almost get assassinated that he said to himself "I can't sit on the sidelines while this guy is literally taking bullets to fight for America". It was similar to Hulk Hogans reaction when he thought to himself "am I going to sit back like a coward or do I find real courage to speak at his convention"?

Since I was a kid I always viewed courage as the most honourable trait. The most rare and often the most critical trait to the success of freedom. He's the kind of guy who his employees will go through a wall for him because they see a man who combines courage with ingenuity and ambition.

I swear to G-d if I lived in America I'd be applying to work for one of his companies. Just an amazing story from a guy who wasn't even born in America. He represents the quintessential type of immigrant America should want to attract.
