Earlier today I read that Twit...X had threatened to sue and got quite an epic reply from CCDH lawyers which underlined the many ways in which a lawsuit would hurt X first and foremost. Apparently they decided to have a go anyway. Time to get some popcorn 🍿

I mean, he's clearly trying to run the place into the ground
Is he?
With his being on the spectrum social things are not his strong point, and this is all social.
I think he probably thinks he's fighting a good fight, doesn't see how big a fucking hypocrite he is, and is running it into the ground at warp speed because of it.
Edit: or he's turning it into a right wing cess pool intentionally, but he doesn't think he's running it into the ground. Either way, I don't think he wants to be running it into the ground.
Don't blame his autism. Seriously. I'm autistic. My wife and two sons are also on the spectrum. The people I care most about outside my own family are on the spectrum.
None of us act like this. This is entirely 100% Elon Musk is a terrible human being.
Don't excuse his behavior.
Don't shift the blame onto us.
Don't use his shitty personality, his shitty world views, or his current actions as a reason to insult us further.
His actions are his own, and he alone is responsible for being this terrible of a person.
I have never once met a single person on the spectrum who actually acts like Elon at all. I promise you, this is all Elon's own personal narcissistic attitude and that's it. He is a rich entitled billionaire and that's it.
His autism is not an excuse for this shitty behavior, his autism is not an excuse to be this cartoonishly evil. His autism is not an excuse. Stop using his autism as an explanation for any of this. He is simply a rich person with horrible ethics and morals. His autism didn't make him like this. This is his entire life's choices and faults.
I'm not excusing his behavior. He's not an asshole because he's on the spectrum.
But running a social media company is probably something he will struggle with more than other companies because of it.
He can't run twitter like he runs SpaceX or Tesla. It's a whole different beast.
Nah that's a cop out. He changed the name to X so it's his baby he's going to abuse like the rest of his kids.
It's fascinating how the narrative have shifted.
Before buying Twitter:
He doesn't need to buy Twitter, he can back out the deal at any time. He's not stupid to waive his due diligence. He's the smartest and richest person to ever live on this planet.
After he's forced to buy it:
He's going to solve bot problem in Twitter.
He's going to make it the best freeze peach platform
He's going to make Twitter profitable
Fails miserably and it is tanking despite trying his hardest keep it afloat by making it a right wing haven:
He's clearly trying to run this place to the ground, This was his plan all along.
The mental gymnastics is amusing to say the least.
Good way to get the research more publicity, Elon once again proves he doesn't understand how to run a business.
He's been smoking some strong stuff for a while now..😂
Remember when he and Confinity merged their companies and everyone involved wanted to call the new company PayPal, but Elon wanted to call it X.com, and also wanted completely to rewrite the backend to use windows? Yeah, he's always been smoking the strong stuff. Or he's just an idiot who grew up with Apartheid Emerald money, then scammed up a massive stock price with a carbon credit trade scheme that's just this side of illegal...
Elon got a hit of that OG Reefer Madness on Joe Rogan's show and went permanently insane just like DARE always said we would
That would be a hilarious meme.
Some before aspirational quote, pic of him smoking reefer, him doing something monumentally stupid since, and then something like 'not even once'
Weed doesn't make people aggressive like this.
how many times do I have to make the free speech joke, old man
Free speech! No, not like that!
Discovery gon' be lit
Hell yeah. He had to buy Twitter because early discovery was filled with shit that pissed off Valley power players and made it clear he was an idiot.
this just in, manbaby has a tantrum. More at 10.
I think that if we start innundating this submissions with comments complaining about it we might be able to curb the social media spam in techhonoly groups.
after all the people that don't like this comments can take their own advice and skip it. hopefully we can reach a critical mass where discussion is hindered and they start submitting this spam to a social media magazine/channel.
People posting the hate speech agree with Elon so he does this.
In direct response to CCDH’s efforts, some companies have paused their advertising spend on X. CCDH’s unlawful conduct as alleged herein has directly and proximately damaged X Corp. in an amount to be proven at trial, but in any event at least tens of millions of dollars that X Corp. estimates it has lost in advertising revenues and other costs incurred. More fundamentally still, CCDH's scare campaign to global advertisers and its on-going pressure on brands is an attempt to stifle freedom of speech on the X platform.
How does advertisers going off platform stop them from speaking?
They also use rudimentary tactics like labeling as “hate speech” content that merely does not conform to CCDH’s ideological views, and counting the number of mentions of selectively chosen keywords on a platform while ignoring the context in which those words were mentioned.
Ohhhh this isn't regular hate speech, it's nuanced and respectful if only you considered its context.
Elon is really going above and beyond in his quest to disprove the saying “any publicity is good publicity”.
