      Yep. Fortunately for Elon (and, you know, fascism) he doesn’t need it any more. For Elon, it is already ‘Mission Accomplished’. The richest, most thin-skinned losers on Earth already control the biggest economy and the biggest military. What more could that shitstain hope to get out of Twitter?

        Well now he’s calling for a new election in the UK (presumably to put the right wing bac in) so looks like he’s not happy with just proxy ruling America.

          Haha right you are. It is in his nature, I suppose, to grasp and grasp after already being the richest person in history. In a better world, we would put people like Musk in a nice, humane institution.

            He’s not the richest in history. Modern history, sure if you count excluding inflation. But when people like Mansa Musa existed Musk has quite a ways to go. Hell even Carnegie’s wealth eclipsed Musk if you’re talking purchasing power.

        In the future I hope they do studies on what percentage of nazi content is necessary to destabilize a platform and get an established base of regular people and companies to flee.

          To hear it told on Bluesky, it’s the better blocking tools and the culture of “we don’t have to put up with these assholes.”

          shrug

          I’ve been off Twitter for years and even before that I probably posted less than a half-dozen times per year. I mostly prefer subject-based social media (here) over identity-based, but I’m looking to surround myself with people who talk about something other than politics because the last Trump presidency I just couldn’t handle the constant tide of horrors.

          I just need somewhere to escape all that and if not, I’m going to be in a really mentally unhealthy place for the next four years.

      I hope so, although it might serve as an easy way for companies to bribe the first lady Musk for favours with Trump

    Nazi, who inherited his generational fortune through slave labor, makes people uncomfortable. They leave. Nazi lies about being weird and/or a Nazi.

      Decent first step with the Cybertruck. Though he botched it and instead of making owners pariahs, they turn owners into clowns and lacerated patients.

      Where I live there’s not many teslas.

      But I saw one the other day and it was squeaking like a cheap plastic toy.

      I wasn’t going to buy one. But seeing such bad quality construction even noticable by afar, reaffirmed my choice.

        At first, the air of mystery suggested hidden depths, but increasing exposure revealed that it was all just woven from thin air and would routinely come out with increasingly absurd stories that contradicted previous statements.

        Also, the X-Files.

        That’s part of the joy, he bought the plot and still managed to lose the plot so quickly it’s easy to argue he never had it to begin with.

        He paid billions to play himself.

    So reading all the comments here:

    X is far Right, conservatives - bad.

    Lemmy is far Left, liberal - good.

    You both sound as bad as each other.

      The horseshoe theory holds true in many cases. Far ends of the spectrum have more in common with eachother than they do with the people on the middle. Antisemitism is a good example of something you find in both extremes. Calls for violence is another example.

      How your comment reads to the rest of us:

      "Wrong reason people don’t like twitter - bad

      Wrong reason people like lemmy - good

      You both sound the same to me"

      If we’re being honest, they’re both echo chambers, but one of decidedly more malevolent than the other.

      No no you see once in Lemmy you can engage in the communist left vs liberal center-left battles. It’s turtles all the way down.
