Honestly I hope Elon burns the shithole to the ground, watching the trannies and commies scatter to the four corners of the earth like rats on a sinking ship would be fucking hilarious

Seeing it go down would be entertaining, but it would hurt normal people a lot, since its place would be taken by some other, not Elon controlled entity. Back to square one on globohomo communication control. At least you can say nigger now on the platform, and spread truths (and lies) about the kikes all you want as long as you don't fedpost.

Who cares?

We are outright living in the precursor to every Cyberpunk anarcho capitalist story written.

Are you sure we’re not just living in the precursor of yet another huge tech phenomenon dying on its arse?

I'm not fan of Musk but I don't need to be to agree with him on this. Like, what, I'm supposed to CARE he's NOT some typical Super Villain CEO because he's a weirdo and he's killing Twitter?

“muahahah, the whole world will know, let the chips fall where they may” does sound a bit super-villain-esque.

If they didn't give a shit about advertising on it they wouldn't be spending so much time and effort trying to bring him to heel, and it's PROBABLY because advertising is outdated as fuck and massively ineffective.

Twitter advertising is a product and other billionaires or corporations choosing not to patronise it doesn’t have to be some sinister thought control conspiracy. The product might just be shit. The perception of the company’s values might be bad.
Like when everyone stopped buying Bud Light, or watching Disney. You piss off the people you’re supposed to be selling to and they walk away. They’re not mad about it, they just go to the next aisle and get something else.

Musk has poisoned the brand. Probably intentionally.

So... after watching this, I am coming around to the opinion of many people that Musk is taking some drug cocktail. This interview is much more than being "based" or DGAF. He's acting crazy.

Benzos and weed.

The medium is still absolutely terrible, and it's sad to say, but the medium still IS the message.

Once again I am going to boost The Shallows, by Nicholas Carr. It explains exactly why Twitter (and social media more generally) is terrible.

Elon's mannerism and body language in that interview reminded me of this hilarious old clip of some guy attempting to interview Johnny Rotten:

Churnalists rely on an assumed level of respect and deference from everyone they're interacting with. They have literally no idea what to do when someone ignores the norms of their profession and refuses to treat them like royalty.

Looks like he has popped more adhd candies than he's used to and/ or comfortable with or maybe (probably more unlikely) he is microdosing lsd? My money is on a few too many mg of good old government sanctioned meth. Either way if that's what it takes to tell advertisers to fuck off I'd say up the dosage doctor, por favor.
 
I mean the possible fine is nice, but the narrative the host appeared to be walking towards was "How are you going to make nice with Iger" and the answer without swearing is pretty much "I'm not."
 
As the world's richest lolcow, Elol has a special place in my heart. My friends and acquaintances all hate him passionately for leeching off subsidies and selling vaporware to retards, and sperg out at me when I say I don't care, as I consider all that money well spent when it comes back in the form of this exquisite fresh full fat milk pouring straight out of your TV, god fucking damn son!
I'm absolutely sure at this point that he's willing to run X into the ground if that's how the situation develops. The world's gonna benefit either way.
 
"Freedom of speech is dangerous to Our Democracy ™️ "

It's getting to the point they aren't even hiding behind flowery language anymore and are just straight up confessing

it bs most of the banking systems computers run on some ancient programming language patched up with prayer, ducttape and bubble gum like the rest of the wests infrastructure since the 90s its not if but when question about some horrible disaster with the IT system, that will fuck shit up .

I don't think the issue is hacking, it's replacing financial traders with algorithms that will inadvertently instigate major market crashes because they don't know what they're doing and no one knows how to turn them off. Basically unregulated capitalism like in the Bad Old Days but faster and more efficient.

But it's a pretty sci-fi scenario. Possible but not inevitable. The same processes we've had in place for the last hundred years to prevent meatheads from doing just this should still work on bots with some minor adjustments.

Lol. The interviewer is gobsmacked. Elon then gives a shoutout to “Bob. I know you’re in the audience.” (meaning Bob Iger, head of Disney.)

I love the host's face, he cannot comprehend that someone could possibly not care about money. It's a completely foreign concept to him.
I know Musk is a retard but I'm so glad he owns Xitter. The jews must be fucking fuming at this man. How can they stop a man that already has too much money to be bought?
 
fuckin A Elon
yeah fuck it, advertising is a cancer and we should be paying for access to the big platforms and be treated as customers in a mutually value-generating relationship, instead of treating them as a resource to be captured and exploited.
