Elon Musk -- against freedom?

[Broken_Erika]

Plus his mother could have played Mom in a live action Futurama show/movie.

[PLATO]

From what i heard, He can't code efficiently, most of his code was rewritten by other Paypal coders, and Space-X and Tesla had whole layers of management made exclusively to keep him away from the workers.
Apparently he had great ideas but no ideas how to make them work.
As for the money part, his daddy owned an emerald mine in South Africa.

Musk has Asperger's if you ask me. I think he is a very high functioning autistic. I have heard that he did a lot of the original engineering at Space-X and that would seem to be consistent with Asperger's.

I believe that he also has massive ADHD. He will focus in on a project for only as long as his attention span holds, but can produce amazing results in whatever that span is. Once he is off task, he is a train wreck.

I also believe that people went to great lengths to discredit him only after he got involved with Twitter for essentially political reasons.

Once politics gets involved the lies and disinformation really proliferate.

[EPW]

I don't think you've been paying close enough attention to his Twitter activity. The lies and disinformation are mostly coming from Mudk himself. For instance, you can't claim to be a free speech absolutist(which he did, multiple times in the context of choosing not to censor Russian propaganda outlets) and then cave into every single request from a foreign government to censor content.

You must be referring to the recent Turkey court ruling. You do realize Twitter fought that all the way to the Turkish Supreme Court but lost, right? I certainly wouldn't say that was simply caving.

[EPW]

Publicly owned Twitter ignored similar court orders from Turkish courts. Elon, on the other hand, quickly caved at the first sign of trouble. Another example: shortly after he took over he immediately moved to downrank displaying tweets about the Ukrainian invasion by Russia. This was inadvertently shown when he released part of twitters source code.

[Dinner]

How do you figure appealing the decision all the way to the supreme court amounts to "caved at the first sign of trouble"? That actually sounds like he spent a lot of money fighting it as far as he legally could. His only choices available were to comply with the Turkish Supreme Court ruling or abandon Turkey. I am not sure how depriving Turkish people access to social media helps them or Twitter.

[EPW]

Because Elon didn't know about any of this until after the ruling. I doubt that he knew he had a legal team in Turkey, and he will quietly lay them off in the coming months.

(sigh, this is what too much animal fat does to the brain folks) First of all, it wouldnt have been banned, but throttled. Secondly, sometimes you have to a stand on principles. You call their bluff in otherwords. Maybe they block you, maybe they dont. (This is obvious to anyone with any blood flow to brain. Likely you and Geronimo have had massive amounts of silent strokes that have impacted your reasoning abilities. Unfortunately this is unreversable and I feel sorry for both of you.) Twitter has been blocked in Turkey before. So has wikipedia, so has YouTube. Probably other sites have too. Isn't this why Musk bought the platform in the first place? Also doesn't Musk own a satellite company that could bypass the block? There were other options that a free speech absolutist could have and would have tried.

Meat industry propaganda. I'm not really talking about vegans either, but the smart people who are on a whole food plant based diet. No oil, added salt, etc.

Edit: to be even more precise, a high carb low protein low fat diet is by far the best. ( Must be WFPB) basically starches, some beans, and fruits and veges. You'll love to at least 90 in good health with this diet.

[EPW]

Most vegans and vegetarians are morons who eat the ****tiest food they can find. You have to look at the blue zones to get an idea about what a truly healthy diet can do. And even those places can further optimize their diet.

But you digress...

The lack of a flame diverter is hardly a disaster.

[EPW]

The aftermath of the launch was a disaster. And the launch itself most likely failed because the rocket of damage suffered on take off.

[Geronimo]

Edit: It's also possible his drug use and/or work ethic has caught up to him and he's on a mental decline.

Of course the real evidence of his "mental decline" is his gross undermining of Twitter's previous leftist/progressive favoritism.

[N35t0r]

Twitter used to be considerable more lenient towards breaches to its ToS from the right than from the left.

[EPW]

Whatever broski. I'm gonna be here laughing watching your reaction when Musk has a bit too much Zoloft and starts posting about how "the Jews" are behind all of America's problems.
