People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
Many people have reported this as a fake tweet. I don't have time to be the tweet police. What is everyone's thoughts about having a link to the actual tweet or other social media link?
Edit: Please stop reporting this. They may have re-posted this from somewhere else and didn't know or it might not be fake. I'm not going to x to find out. From now on, please provide an archived link to all politicians and major figures.
I'm for it. This is like the 15th fake Elon Musk tweet I've seen today
Yes, but an archived link so tweet cannot be deleted.
Good point, I'll change the sticky.
Why not remove it then?
I'm not the mod you're talking to, but I assume they aren't deleting it because OP posted it before providing a link was a rule, and it might not be a fake tweet. I mean it is fake, but I can't prove that.
Personally I'm in favor of mods erring on the side of not removing content if there's any uncertainty, even if it's a bit annoying seeing this fake tweet
It's misleading on the people Twitter sub. Fake Wikipedia articles hard to distinguish would be misleading on a Wikipedia sub
It really feels like you didn't actually read what I wrote
This is the way.
prolly the wrong climate to be openly admitting profits are more important than peoples lives.
A real "let them eat cake" moment.
I've heard that phrase my whole life and only looked it up now because of your comment. For anyone else that's curious:
"Let them eat cake" is the traditional translation of the French phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche",[1] said to have been spoken in the 18th century by "a great princess" upon being told that the peasants had no bread.
...
The quote is taken to reflect either the princess's frivolous disregard for the starving peasants or her poor understanding of their plight.
I had a history teacher who claimed that French bakers at the time called the layers of dough that were left on the bottom of the ovens and had to be scraped off periodically “cake” and that is what Marie Antoinette was referring to when she said “let them eat cake.” So it was just as heartless, but maybe less comically out of touch.
The one sentence the poster you responded left out:
The phrase "let them eat cake" is conventionally attributed to Marie Antoinette, although there is no evidence that she ever uttered it, and it is now generally regarded as a journalistic cliché.
I couldn't find this tweet on Elon Musk's Twitter feed
Thank you for your sacrifice (of going to x).
It was painful scrolling through his feed 😅
Does that mean he deleted it, or it's fake? I don't know how Twitter works.
It's fake. It was posted on r/ToiletPaperUSA earlier today and clearly flaired as fake/satire.
Can you edit the title to flag that?
Either is possible.
I legit cannot tell anymore whether I'm reading satire or actual muskrat posts
If it's any longer than the comment I'm leaving right now, it's fake. He is never this verbose
There’s been a bunch of Elon Musk tweets about this guy that are fake. But they’re all things he obviously believes.
Is there a list of healthcare company shareholders?
I guarantee you the companies will start freaking out once their largest shareholders start to be picked off and everyone else sells their shares.
The largest shareholders tend to be retirement funds. It's generational warfare that no one realizes or talks about.
I would disagree that that is an example of generational warfare.
The older people get, the less of their money tends to be in actual stocks, and the shares managed by retirement funds are inevitably non-voting, so they can't even voice what tiny bit of opinion their fraction of ownership would theoretically get them.
The "shareholders" being performed for are the managers of those investment funds.
Making obscene wealth on stock investing is relatively rare, but making obscene wealth investing other people's money and then paying yourself an obscene salary out of the proceeds is far more common.
Those are the people who control the massive amounts of money that companies perform for to drive up share prices.
Why own when you can get paid to control? Then your money isn't on the line and you don't need to be lucky to get rich.
Market linked retirement funds, imo rank among one of the worst regressions in American governance/society.
It broke the employer:employee relationship where your work provides a pension, and you are secured in your old age for loyalty and time worked.
It directly enabled an emboldened a new group of parasites, who run hedge funds to gamble with other people’s money whilst skimming fees up and down the transaction flows. You win, I win - you loose, I win.
And those ‘smart people’ crash the economy every 10-15 years due to their collective greed and over leveraging in order to take the maximum profit they can - or society as a whole “lands softy” due to central banks fiscal policy via inflation, and we all see where that’s landed us.
"I was just following orders"
-said every nazi ever
edit: not finding this on elons twitter
Because it's not real. It's from reddit, specifically, r/ToiletPaperUSA where it was clearly flaired as fake/satire.
If killing CEOs reduces their profits, maybe they should work on not having unpopular CEOs
This is obviously fake. That's what other CEOs think, not Musk.
The only duty of CEO Musk is to himself!
???
Did he just condemn people for celebrating the killer and shitting on the killed and then went on providing the exact reason why people are celebrating? He forget to take his meth this morning or something?
So I'm watching Severance right now and it's incredible how spot on the corporate cult portrayal is in that show
And this is a lie. There is no law about this there is no duty for it. I mean your company is tock might not be the greatest but that is another thing.
Is this real? I have no idea how to even access twitter anymore
the >80%+ that still use facebook using the laughing meme aren't "the radical left" if anything, facebook is a right leaning platform.
There doesn't seem to be any actual record of this being tweeted.
"We're forced to!"
Are you against that?
You spent a shitload of money, scheming to reshape American democracy. Was a single penny spent toward untying your tortured hands?
Do any of these assholes ever address this, as anything besides an excuse for their individual evils?
It's not even the same jacket. Fucking boston bomber mkII
