Blaming the Jews for your problems, problems you yourself have caused and continue to cause, precisely what Musk is doing here, is the very dictionary definition of antisemitism

Exactly. I don’t know why anyone listens to racists’ definition of racism, or antisemites’ definition of antisemitism.

It's also a page out of the conservative playbook. A classic.
We really, really need to be okay with punching nazis in the face again.
Also unrepentant Afrikaners and their descendants.
Daarsy
And taxing the everloving jesus out of billionaires.
So pretty much blaming Jews for it.
Seems like he’s missing a little mustache and some nice high boots.
What an asshole.
Desantis has a nice tall pair of white boots he could borrow. Although I'm not sure if it would clash with the Hugo Boss suit.
So is Elon just prepping Twitter to be the next hate based social media site? Looks like truth social might be out of money soon so I guess those folks need somewhere to go.
That was always the point. This all started because he was trying to use his influence to shame Twitter into platforming the far-right and then accidentally ended up comitting to buy it.
Everything he has done since has either been to benefit far-right racists and reactionaries or try and mitigate the massive loss he is going to take with the purchase.
All at the expense of trashing a carefully cultivated image of a wise technocrat and revealing himself to instead be one of the largest idiots alive. Conservatism is a helluva drug.
Out of money soon on purpose. A bunch of people will take the loss, carry it forward on their taxes, and now that Trump is allowed back on Twitter, truth social has served its actual purpose.
those DWAC cultists are a whole other level of crazy
Still convinced he's showing his true colours and tanking Twitter intentionally so that he and his buddies post multi-billion dollar losses on their investment and get tax free gains for years.
But they are still out 40 Billion Dollars. I don’t think there is a master plan. He’s an idiot.
Oh he's an idiot. But he can pay for people to plan things for him.
I don't doubt there was an original plan to gut the staff, sit back and profit from it while also having full control of the platform. So some of his investors, like the fucking Saudi crown, could benefit from that.
But when that failed they went this way. He didn't finance it himself, he certainly could have. Instead he got a group of wealthy investors involved, so maybe each is only on the hook for a billion or two; which to them is nothing. Hell, Musk himself grew his net worth from 150 to over 200 billion in that time.
Also there is precedent in what Trump(a bigger idiot for sure) did with the Atlantic city casino failure. Worked it so that he could use its losses as a tax write-off for years after.
(To the tune of "Nowhere Man")
He's a real Nazi dong
Even if he smokes the bong
Being Nazi still is wrong todaaay
Doesn't know what free speech is
Buys and trashes Twitter biz
Hates you if you're queer or trans or gaaaay
Elon Musk, stop sucking
We don't care who you're fucking
Elon Musk, I fear that your brain is merely a husk
Fuck mate. You’re the real John Lennon of Lemmy….John Lemmon
And his sycophants will still apologize for him.
"Pointing out my antisemitism is making me more antisemitic! It's your fault!"
Funny how he also said he's transphobic because his kid is trans. Seems like it's just everyone else making him a bigot.
I mean, if other people force you to be a bigot, aren't you the real victim?
Someone linked to a substack full of screenshots of antisemitism on Shitter from the weekend. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled and I wasn't at the halfway point when I closed the tab. It was a bummer. A real lose-hope moment.
i think it shows a lot of weakness.. he's probably pretty worried about legal troubles.. maybe very worried, so naturally he lashes out at a legal organization..
it's an old tactic.. blame the victims for their oppression.. imply that if they would just behave, things wouldn't be so bad for them..
All the money in the world clearly can't buy class, 'cause all he'll ever be is pure fascist trash.
That is lyrical.
Because obscenely rich people are experts on everything.
his only defense is always just "no u"
I wouldn’t be surprised if Elon shows up at the “eugenics” conference in Austin, TX at this point.
Why does this city attract the worst Californians, smh.
Because they hear "getting tech hub" and see dollar signs 🤑
As a Texan, it just seems like Austin combines the worst parts of Cali and the worst parts of Texas.
Then again, I've only driven through Austin, and if I stopped it was just to pee or grab fast food or something.

I'm so close to having wet dreams about this mf dying bruh. With this shit and starlink, he has way too much sway in the US.
Yup, way too much sway in the world in general.
I feel like the ADL, a group of lawyers who come from a community of people who literally devote their lives to arguing over interpretations of texts, is pretty capable of defending themselves against this hairless apes attacks.
I really hope this goes to a trial LoL. Musk will continue to self own until he immolates.
It's awfully interesting that so many members of the "liberal media" are still using that Nazi site.
....did I say "interesting"? I meant to say - predictable.
The media isn’t liberal. They are capitalist. In a world where the Conservative Party wasn’t bonkers, they’d be center-right due to their for profit nature. People are still on Twitter so that’s where they engage. It’s as simple as that.
