Elon Musk is threatening to end his $44 billion agreement to buy Twitter, accusing the company of refusing to give him information about its spam bot accounts.

People need to stop idolizing absolute idiots.

(This does not exclude him from also being malicious,)

Elon lied about the monkeys — and he shouldn't be trusted to put his Neuralink chips in human brains.

"They are claiming they are going to put a safe device on the market, and that's why you should invest," Ryan Merkley at the Physicians Committee, told Wired. "And we see his lie as a way to whitewash what happened in these exploratory studies."

Really heartbreaking reading what happened to the monkeys.

People quite rightly think of Elizabeth Holmes as a fraud for making false medical claims about what the Theranos machines could do. So why aren't Elon's claims at Neuralink being held to the same level of scrutiny?

Elon Musk called me a “stalker ex gf” today for posting news and links to Washington Post stories about X on Threads.

It’s almost like I’m a tech reporter covering social media or something!

Wir haben uns dazu entschieden, unseren Account auf X zu stillzulegen 😓

Die Entwicklung seit der Übernahme durch Elon Musk ist nicht mit unseren Werten vereinbar. ❌

💛 Wir freuen uns auf den Austausch mit euch hier.

Seid ihr schon gegangen? Und wie sind die Erfahrungen? 🤔

Rebranded Twitter aka “X” has the new tagline:

“Blaze your glory!”

(Twitter’s previous tagline was “it’s what’s happening”) #x

has been caught refusing to remove propaganda from and is now being sued in Germany, where they take these matters seriously. After being sued, the solution which chose to deal with it was to hide some nazi tweets in the lawsuit from Germans, but not to even remove those small number of tweets from Twitter as a whole. Please tell me again how Elon isn't supporting nazis. Not that anyone can see the nazi tweets for all the issues https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/10/twitter-faces-legal-challenge-after-failing-to-remove-reported-hate-tweets

Musk failed to get the necessary permits to change Twitter’s building signage to X, and the police shut it down just in time for “er” to remain. #x

So Elon's a "visionary" who wants to turn X into a single website where you can do everything — kinda like Yahoo!

He wants his new MySpaceX portal to be a website...

Where you can message people: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Messenger

Where you can stream audio: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast.com

Where you can stream videos: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Screen

Where you can create social media posts: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_360%C2%B0

Where you can manage your finances: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Finance

Where you can share photos: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Photos

Where you can earn money publishing content: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Publisher_Network

Where you can find a job: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_HotJobs

Where you can buy and sell stuff: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Auctions

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this truly is a vision for the future — if by "the future" you mean 1997.

🚨Elon Musk just lost $28bn as Tesla took a beating🚨

Toyota’s chairman Akio Toyoda, tells the EV market "I told you so", as sales slow dramatically.

Toyoda has long advised the industry to hedge its bets on EVs by continuing to invest in hybrids, hydrogen-powered cars, & other alternative eco-friendly vehicles.

UK insurers have hiked premiums to unaffordable levels because of the high cost of EV repairs.

If not EV's, then what?

Your Twitter/X account is a microphone connected to a mixer controlled by a fascist. You can speak all you want. The fascist controls your volume and can mute you whenever he wants. And you might not even know you’ve been muted because you can still hear yourself in your headphones.

It’s not called resistance when your volume knob is in someone else’s hand.

Twitter/X is a Nazi bar.

If you’re still on Twitter/X, you frequent a Nazi bar.

You might say, “But I’m not a Nazi!”

So the question remains: Then why are you drinking at a fucking Nazi bar?

Huh, I've been busy the past few weeks, and have been off social media & not paying much attention to news either. Then I noticed links to #Twitter weren't working the past few days in media links. Checked the news about it, and am unsurprised that #ElonMusk continues to destroy Twitter as fast as he can. Now #Elon has apparently got so many problems with the wheels falling off that he can't handle people looking at his website without another #TwitterDown event 😂 https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-twitter-login-requirement-temporary

So this is what you have to deal with when you live in an apartment across the street of the #Twitter headquarters!

There's no doubt that #ElonMusk is the real Dr. Evil!

I see #ElonMusk is saying that if X (formally Twitter) goes to the wall, it will be the 'advertisers [that] bankrupted the company'... once again he seems unable to see that is a symptom not the cause of X's problems; which of course lies with him.

I guess we'll be seeing another flow of folk into the #fediverse if the advertisers 'strike' continues (s many think it will).

Its an extraordinary example of billionaire hubris!

600 Posts pro Tag: Twitter führt Leselimit für nicht zahlende Nutzer ein

Twitter-Chef Elon Musk klagt über ein "extremes Ausmaß der Datenauslese und Systemmanipulation". Die Folgen bekommen vor allem nicht zahlende Nutzer zu spüren.

Elon's "extremely hardcore" toxic work culture means people are forced to take Adderall without a prescription to meet their workload. Just ask SpaceX employees.

"Some SpaceX workers resorted to taking Adderall to keep up with the pace of work at the company's launch facility, and others found themselves falling asleep in the bathroom during long workweeks, a recent Reuters investigation found.

"Travis Carson, a former SpaceX worker at the company's facility in Brownsville, Texas, told Reuters some workers took Adderall — a stimulant designed to help people with ADHD improve their focus and concentration levels — without a prescription to keep up with the pace of work."

Even I didn’t have Twitter locking itself in its panic room after DDoSing itself on my bingo card.

Can you imagine getting into a car made by a company run by someone this incompetent?

Prominent "free-speech absolutist" threatens to sue Jewish anti-hate group because it engaged in free speech he didn't like.

"Elon Musk has threatened to sue the Anti-Defamation League after accusing the civil rights group that campaigns against antisemitism and bigotry of trying to “kill” his X social media platform.

"The owner of X, formerly known as Twitter, said the ADL was trying to shut down his company by 'falsely accusing it and me of being antisemitic'."

If your list of enemies includes the ADL, then there's a more-than-reasonable chance that you're an anti-semite.
