Mind bending that the world's richest man could throw away 44 billion to destroy a company while creating a smokescreen.
A measly billion could set you for life and carry a few generations down easy street.

I didn't say he owned an emerald mine. I am aware of the story. I said he has inherited wealth from an emerald mine product. His family owned stakes in the company.

And secondly the one trying to debunk the claims (via Twitter of course) is Musk himself, one who has been proven on paper to be an endless liar about everything.

My point was really that self-made billionaires are a myth. That is false worship to think that such people exist and why persons out there want to admire billionaires because they're self made running purely on their genius and the gift of USA capitalism. Jeff Bezos didn't start off selling in a bookshop. His parents gave him $300k to start. Bill Gates parents were already wealthy and had several connections to IBM executives. Donald Trump's father gave him $413 million but never a hug.

That's how brokies think.
Sign up for Hustler's University with the Top G.
Then get back to me on how the uber rich operate.
I supposed the Pipelineistan theory was too far fetched also.
Here's an article from two years ago trying to debunk it. https://www.middleeasteye.net/big-story/pipelineistan-conspiracy-war-syria-has-never-been-about-gas

But here we are and the 'false story' about getting Europe off being dependant on Russian gas has come to the fore.

These are big game hunters.A small loss of Twitter stock is nothing to the other profits to be made in the space industry.

righttttt. a brokie.

btw he did not reinstate Trump's account. Trump is still banned. That was just a parody account pay-for-speech blue tick scheme genius idea that he has now backpedaled on. Nice that you couldn't tell the difference, that was the point.

First he was going to improve Twitter, then he fired everybody and making a mess of the coding.
So now the plan is to bomb twitter stock so he can make money in Space? You drag that goalpost all the way there yourself?

Oh yeah the 3D chess thing. The $13B worth to $44B not worth to stock bomb to broke to Space. Forgot about that.

Pardon, perhaps I should clarify from before on what I mean. No way I think Elon Musk is dumb. A billionaire didn't get there by being dumb. They have their schemes locked. But Musk can't control his narcissism and impulsive tantrum outbursts everywhere. Do you see Bill Gates and other super wealthy and influential figures acting like this? Remember that time he called the cave rescuer in Thailand a pedo just because he was told that submarines cannot work in underwater caves with gaps of less than 40 cm in some places?

It's the people who think that he's [and other such persons like Trump] genius smart with their 3D chess set are who I think are dumb. Here, I can even help explain this with a meme:

I'm just loving the fact that the people who claim they don't care about Musk, twitter and how much he spent are now paying attention to his every tweet and news story out there. Last time I saw this level of fuss was under Trump.

The focus is the title of the thread and the topic is now a core modern platform of free speech.

Not a personal interest in any particular person, but the entity who has chosen to tread on what should be perceived to be one of the fundamental human rights i.e. speech.

It's the same with Trump, never focused on him as a game show host or a pageant/casino/hotel businessman, but when he became President and started destroying institutions and stabbed the very heart of democracy with blithering idiocracy, nepotism and a coup attempt.... yeah people generally have heavy opinions on those sort of things. Not a person, but THE person who is doing it. This definitely would never have been a topic like so many other $Billion buyouts if the entity didn't make it an issue.

Was this a problem on Ballmer when Microsoft bought Skype? Was this such an issue on Zuckerberg when Facebook bought Whatsapp? If Elon Musk had just bought Twitter for actual retail price and just left it alone instead of interfering with that freedom (instead of pay for verification) and software engineer workings and then running it to the ground in three weeks, would this current topic be here, would anyone have cared?

You realize that Elon is autistic?

This has nothing to do with Elon Musk having autism, but rather his real world actions and treatment of employees. He has actually pulled Tesla software engineers to replace the Twitter ones he had tried to exploit. Unfortunate thing about those goalposts and ripping up the foundations so often. So from 3D chess and stock market manipulation, his autism is the deal now regarding destroying a platform of speech.

Bill Gates and Bill Gross are two other billionaires who are also ostensibly on the spectrum of autism. One is too busy curing polio and the other building hospitals.

I seriously thought Elon Musk was awesome cool when they shot that Roadster into orbit, when Starlink was launched to give people internet access. You can find comments of mine in those threads admiring his work for that. Not about Twitter.

congrats to Elon on his purchase. I genuinely wish him nothing but the best on his new endeavor.

**please please make it like onlyfans but for twitter. And break down the paywalls via a central twitter subscription. And let everybody be verified, not just selected people. So much good things can happen. Go Musk Go!! Tear it down, tear down the status quo!!!

I see he reinstated the accounts of Kathy Griffin, Jordon Peterson and The Babylon Bee.

Elon is currently running a poll on Trump. You already know if he comes back, Twitter will be lit from all sides.

Once Trump is involved, it just can't exist.Twitter was good before when anybody against the liberals got banned from having an opinion.Now that the shoe is on the other foot, worse thing ever.Free speech is now defined as cancelling anybody that opposes the opinions of liberals.Go figure.Free speech protected!!
Does anybody tell Zuckerberg how to run Meta?
Would he even care?

This is how the reactionary mind works. They literally have facts presented to them in this ched, but when you're the eternal victim and exist solely in feelings the "lie rinse repeat" tactic is the only one left.


shogun wrote:It appears Elon Musk has fired the director of software engineering at Twitter who, with a team of researchers, found "Tweets posted by accounts from the political right receive more algorithmic amplification than the political left."



One new study by professors at MIT and Yale called “Is Twitter Biased Against Conservatives? The Challenge of Inferring Political Bias in a Hyper-Partisan Media Ecosystem” recently took a look.

Authors of the study followed 9,000 politically engaged Twitter users, half Democratic and half Republican, in October 2020. The authors continued keeping track of their Twitter habits for six months after the 2020 election.

The study did find a disparity between how many users from each party were suspended — 7.7% of the Democrats compared to 35.6% of Republicans.

Republicans on Twitter, however, “shared substantially more news from misinformation,” the study found.

Republican users in the study’s dataset shared news from domains that were on average rated as much more untrustworthy by fact-checkers and a survey of politically balanced lay-people than Democratic users, the authors said.

Social media platforms such as Twitter suspend accounts for violating content standards on violence, hate speech and harmful misinformation.

Trump himself stated several times that he won't return though and will stay on his own Truth Social platform.

But based on his eternal narcissism and gifting it's likely that he will start tweeting again. He always needs donations to steal. I really hope Trump is never censored again on Twitter.

This is a nice attempt to get persons to log back into Twitter after so many left. Because Trump is an entertainer that always draws hits, whether controversial or MAGA cult love. The opinion poll really makes people believe that they had a choice in this decision that Musk had made after realizing the consequences of his Twitter suicide bombing.

One person mentioned something I never even gave thought: many users are busy asking for recommendations of sites to jump to after abandoning Twitter, but virtually nobody's mentioning Zuckerberg's metaverse.

Guy's invested a ton of money into the metaverse and the only time I heard about it was for a local nonsensical corporate thing, and they shilling the metaverse as a meeting location, casually mentioning that you'll need the metaverse headset to attend stuffy ass corporate meetings but as a cartoonified avatar.

The metaverse is one of those too early investment things because we don't yet have the technology in terms of computing power, internet network speeds or acceptable integration in regular life. Covid meetings and business were a good preview of the future and Zuckerberg saw it and grabbed it early.

Maybe it'll be like how Amazon started off in 1994 on AOL dialup on Netscape laughably competing against bookstores.... Look where it is today when the technology matured to make online shopping and global logistics possible.

Understand something fundamental about these social media platforms and it will all make sense.

The core purpose of any of these is not for end users to have an avenue to voice their opinion.
They are not meant for end users to meet with friends.
They are not meant for end users to network with people.
Worst,they aren't meant for everybody and their dog's political views.
That is the deception, and a well played lie.

The core business is ADVERTISING.Whatever business move they make, banning Trump,Andrew Tate, Elon is to generate INTEREST, a buzz,an impression in people.
This is done to drive traffic to their sites and anywhere their advertisers products can be driven.

That being said...
Meta is poised to be the biggest collection of user information, opinions, preferences and more important, marketing data, whether you alive or dead.The AI behind the scenes can easily predict market trends,or even create market trends for products.IMO, they haven't quite ironed out the Meta machine as yet, else it would have been in your face all the time.Zuck just laying low for the hour.Never underestimate people like him.

Meanwhile, the entitled sheep beating up over other people business that in their face all the time, and completely oblivious to an important concept wrt social media.
If the product is free, what's being sold is you.

nail on the head. dais d solid nut right there. them fellas that put up $44 billion for a business losing $4 million a day. what them interested ent even advertising, is about control of the platform and by extension the people using the platform. people online saying the moves by Elon is just a shell game to sure up authoritarian control structures within the organization.
