ads from X to “fuvk themselves” is amazing.
The soft won’t like it, but it’s fair game and I love it.

clearly he is more principled that the host that was trying to gig him with ########.
There are a lot of people that I won't work for and if someone pisses me off I'll tell them to pound sand, I don't want their business and don't care who they tell what about me and my company. I'll never settle for money. I'll always fight for what is right and just.

"principled" has never been a way to describe Musk.

Which has probably helped him become who he is, but in the case of Twitter it's a major reason why he's lost the company more than half its value. It also seems like he's aware he's about to tank the company completely as evidenced by his outburst and weird behavior throughout that interview ("Earth will decide").
If your company needs advertisers to make money, it doesn't seem very reasonable to cast off those advertisers. And considering he's apologized for liking an anti-Semitic tweet, it seems pretty clear he understands and agrees with the advertiser's complaints, at least partly. This isn't about him "fighting for what is right" as much as Elon continuing his mental breakdown.

Once Musk briefly joined a team of business owners that was put together by Trump, that's when he started getting bashed by Dems and their corporate machine. Musk then understood who they were, and there has been a feud ever since. The people who want corporations to be able to control behavior through the use of money do not like Musk at this point.

It's more simple than that. Musk is running a for profit company...
1
Dec 1, 2023, 4:46 PM
|
|
that company has lost over half of its value due to the behavior and decisions of Musk (such as his liking an anti-semitic post) which has run off advertisers. It's not blackmail, it's not extortion or persecution, it's business. It's capitalism. Any desire to turn this into some persecution complex of Musk may work on the more partisan-minded but anyone who has objectively been following Musk's actions since buying Twitter can see the guy has been erratic and has made bad decisions resulting in a worse product.

And when he catches himself being impulsive you can tell because he stutters afterwards. He's the kind of witness a lawyer loves to have on the stand. Anyway, it's his $50 billion mistake. He knows it. More stuttering.
I miss the good old days when you had no clue about the politics or opinions of a company or a CEO. I mean beyond feeding starving children and the occasional homeless shelter or puppy saving programs, no one had a clue. And no one was given a clue because alienating large groups of people tends to not be a wise business decision.

Advertising is the bane of my existence
Nov 30, 2023, 5:24 AM
|
|
I will spend money to avoid ads. On this site, youtube, hulu. Everything I stream, if there's an adfree option, I will gladly fork over the money. I'd rather the service I'm using get money directly from my pocket than from an ad agency that is doing nothing but wasting 30 seconds of my time before I watch a 20 second video on ESPN. I even turn off the radio in my car when commercials come on.

Nikki Haley is an enemy of free speech. Bill Gates is an enemy. The Google collective is an enemy.
Musk has put his money where his mouth is and is providing an invaluable service to the cause of freedom. Clearly, the ad boycott is having an impact and the prospect of bringing down the only significant forum for wrongspeak is a grim one.

You cheered Jan. 6 on in real time. You once posted about how you threatened the life of a youth flag football coach over something stupid. You posted the other day about being a billy bad ### and chewing out your mother in law (which I think everyone knows didn't actually happen that way). All looking for approval that you're some kind of bad ###.
And he needs therapy for his views on the housing market?

But I'm the one who needs therapy? tigermanac® are you mad at me still, this week, or has that passed since the full moon was a few days ago?

Can't blame him when the excuse for them leaving was a set up hit piece by a leftist group that manufactured false data to make X sound like some kind of nazi loving website. I mean we all know where everyone who hates Jews are on the political spectrum is these days and it isn't at X. Laughable that left wing Disney pretends otherwise so #### them.

Money has to be a driving factor in Musk's life because that's what he's focused on doing; becoming a billionaire. He basically takes other ideas and finds ways to profit greatly on them.
But that's not the only factor so I should correct my statement. The guy is a megalomaniac narcissist on a quest for some type of power--and I'm not sure what that is yet--so there's the drive for that.
He's not the great man so many and the media make him out to be.

But he's also blaming them if Twitter collapses instead of taking responsibility for his actions, which is a trait of a sociopath. Elon's comments were super stupid and he hasn't been a very smart businessman with Twitter.
Why such an Elon fan? You agree with his anti-semitism?
Also, it's not "X" no matter how much he and y'all wanna call it that. It's Twitter.

You and I went through an unnecessarily long winded thread last week about this where you finally concluded, "Oh yeah, that was really bad" (paraphrasing your words, not an actual quote).
Do you remember how I showed you that what he was agreeing with was terrible and you agreed it indeed was?

What I agreed with was the original writer worded something very clumsily and stupidly, and Elon's response was probably pretty stupid as well.
But, that comment from Elon, which has been commented on millions of times doesn't mean he holds anti semitic views.
I would hope that your belief that Musk is anti semitic is based on something beyond that.

I didn't realize he had apologized for his Tweet so I'll give him that and back off my anti-Semitic label; his Tweet was that but he at least admits fault.

So we just ignore this?

Elon Musk apologized for the tweet that made everyone upset. You won’t see this reported on networks with an axe to grind with X.
"I’m sorry for that post ... it might literally be the worst and dumbest post I’ve ever done."
“And I’ve tried my best to clarify six ways from Sunday, but you know at least I think it’ll be obvious that in fact far from being antisemitic, I’m in fact philosemitic.”

I didn't realize he apologized, but no, that hasn't ignored by any network. A simple Google search will show you that. Glad he apologized and I'll back off the label, but he deserves what he got from advertisers.

Billionaires are really doing their part to remind us this isn't a meritocracy. What's twitter worth now anyways? Thinking of offering him $50 and some sports clips coupons in case he goes on a ketamine bender.
I also want to thank whoever posted that Twitter proved the advertising was a random as though a 1/10 chance of having your ad placed under a tweet by @hitlerwasright69 would be acceptable to anyone. Just chef's kiss there.

Musk seems to me like a guy who has a lot of demons, and over compensates for that by being, well...Elon Musk.

Do you ever think you're mentally ill or just an idiot? You are guaranteed one of those two. You take the crown. There has never been anyone like you on this site. No way you have a real job. It cones down to your wife obviously. She must carry you.

People that want a CEO that isnt unhinged and a liability

won’t like it.
I would never buy a Tesla because I don’t trust cars made by a company with his leadership. I don’t have confidence they are produced with consistency and are dependable. Customer reviews seem to back that up. A company gets its culture from the top, and he is all hype and ADD always jumping to the next thing that will make headlines. That’s not who I would trust with my vehicle purchase.
