    I don’t have that weird musk hatred fetish that many seem to have. But I also do not really like him. I like some of his actions and dislike many. I guess I could say I really don’t care about musk at all. Anyway, one thing for sure is that the guy is insanely entertaining. It’s been a while since since I’ve seen someone so monumentally screw up something that wasn’t really that broken.

      It’s entertaining to watch, but him having as much power as he does and using it in terrible ways does have consequences. Probably not so entertaining for people that have to deal with it first hand

        Power? He has money. Nothing much else. The people that work for him are doing so willingly. The people that use Twitter are doing so freely. The haters give him more publicity than the people that adore him. People were gloating that if someone didn’t like the platform they should leave and use something else. Now the tables have turned. Anyone that hates musk but uses Twitter is a fool.

          Yes, power. Something that he has an immense amount of, due to his position, money, and influence.

          He literally caused deaths in Ukraine for violating his dod starlink contract because he personally felt if Ukraine kicked Russia ass too hard, Russia would nuke the world.

          A CIVILLIAN JUST DECIDED TO CAUSE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLES DEATH IN UKRAINE BY NOT HONORING HIS CONTRACT BECAUSE HE INSERTED HIMSELF WHERE HE SHOULDNT OF. Oh and the removed STILL is out here lying starlink hasn’t been paid for the use of that when the fucking American DoD and European DoDs PAID FOR UKRAINES FUCKING ACCESS

          That’s having too much power. Honestly just that alone I feel should put him up against a firing squad but that’s just me.
