The Fate of Twitter

[Indoor66]

Funny or not, many of us that would have seen the post in the past will not since we abandoned Twitter when that idiot Elon let the orange indictment machine back on the the platform to spread more misinformation.

You don't have strong feelings on the matter, do you?

LOL I did manage to clean that up enough to avoid the wankerizer...

"Orange Indictment Machine" is the name of my Ed Sheeran cover band.

Musk's lawsuit against hate speech researchers dismissed:

Musk's suit, "is so unabashedly and vociferously about one thing that there can be no mistaking that purpose," wrote U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in his Monday ruling, "This case is about punishing the Defendants for their speech."

This is the quote I was looking for and I'm glad I found it. I think they should fine him as well but that's just me...

Since the center won under California's so-called anti-SLAPP laws — which protect people and groups from frivolous lawsuits aimed at suppressing free speech — Musk will be on the hook to pay the group's legal fees.

Yes. I'd like to see his attorneys sanctioned, too.

Good point, they knew they were filing frivolous suits that were designed to create news...

You may not like her politics, but Liz Dye’s snarky takedown of this litigation is pitch-perfect.

"Fidelity’s Blue Chip Growth Fund cut the value of its position in X by 5.7% in February, implying a 73% decline in the former Twitter Inc. since Elon Musk bought the social-media company."

Musk's genius continues to amaze!

Must spread sporks. Pearls to the humor rescue!

I mean, attacking his genius probably isn’t the move. He’s got LOTS of imperfections and a few areas where he is colossally stupid, but other areas where he is clearly a genius. He has also willed a hell of a lot into existence. And that’s coming from someone who really does not like him

I get the feeling, though, he pines for the good ol' days in the South Africa he grew up in.

Yep. Don’t mean he ain’t a genius in certain ways. That’s what I was trying to say, he can be criticized for soooo many things, but, at least IMO, the idea that he isn’t an exceptional intellect in certain ways is not one of them.


I think people often equate smart with moral and that’s not right.

And people also think smart means not stupid, but lots of smart people are stupid.

There is a difference between a visionary, a genius and a taskmaster. He's more Edison then Tesla and I have yet to see anything he's done to be called a genius. PayPal was not his idea. Tesla Motors was not his idea. Even SpaceX, which I give him the most credit for, was not his idea but he did create it. I've got a longer post dissecting the myth.

I would recommend reading the court deception that was released to get a true sense of the man.

Eh, I still think I’m seeing bias for, I think he’s a bad person therefore he must not be smart.

Many serial killers are geniuses; they are not good. It’s okay to acknowledge his very particular brilliance.

[bundabergdevil]

And people also think smart means not stupid, but lots of smart people are stupid.

Eh, those terms are broad, he’s very smart in certain ways, dumb in others. That was the point I was trying to make.

It’s the easiest thing in the world to distill someone’s life and thoughts into a moral pov. For me, Ted Kennedy and bill clinton were awful men, but brilliant and achieved things I supported. They are not, imo, moral people tjough.
