He’s probably not all that worried about Xwitter. He’s got billions to spare. Be like wrecking your Ferrari, blaming the wet road when you were just going too fast, and still having 4 more in the garage.

He’s just worried about saving face and how the boards of his companies are going to view his behavior.

clip

The interviewer tried really hard (and failed) to hide his incredulity.

He's got some real tweaky vibes going on in that clip.

Imagine watching Kanye West destroy his public image and then in the same year thinking "Nothing bad will happen if I make antisemitic comments on the media platform I own."

So Mastodon looks to be the big after Twitter. When is the funeral for Twitter?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does it? Looks to me like people are willing to use any service but mastodon as a Twitter replacement.

Unfortunately I think Threads is going to be the big winner here... People love the brands; Meta attracts more than Mastodon...

"But those clarifications were ignored by the media and essentially I handed a loaded gun to those who hate me and arguably to those who are antisemitic. And for that I'm quite sorry, that was not my intention."

You hear that? He's sorry.

Sorry that he's facing consequences for his actions.

Earth’s response, “yeah man, it was DEFINITELY your fault!!”

And you said tax cuts for the rich would work out.

While I'd normally support someone telling Disney to go fuck itself, it doesn't mean much coming from Musk.

Was he ever rumoured to be a pedo or anything like that?

He did have known links to Epstein. And his accusations against the cave rescuer really came across like some intense projection.

Seriously. There was zero other reason for Elon to call that guy a pedo.
