      He’s been censoring anyone who disagrees with him, regardless of their political affiliation.

          Lol, this man is just straight up stupid. I can’t believe he fooled people into thinking he’s some kind of genius for so long.

            I never thought he was a genius, but I used to think he was a force for good. He got into Tesla and pushed for electric cars, and then with SpaceX started to put money into space exploration, and spoke in pretty progressive terms. But then he lost his mind, tried to build a sub to rescue those kids in Thailand and called that diver a pedo, went full-Maga, bought Twitter and started digging a hole to bury it in, and bought Trump’s presidency.

              I also jever thought of gim as a genius. I also never bought the idea he was a force for good. He’s always been a narcissist. He just used the “good work” he was doing as a shield. We now see his true self

    Realize the new tactic, trump admin will have the day of secondary goons fighting in public over multiple concepts, they’ll wait to see where public sentiment falls, and then trump will jump on the bandwagon and “punish” the face of the “losing” side.

    Realize that old orange bag of loose shit is silent through this “controversy”. And, in the meantime, heritage foundation directed gop will use every second of the distraction to quietly pass bad law.

    Examples:

    • they just quietly defunded the department that tracks and reports on foreign propaganda efforts after musk just attacked it publicly link

    • And they just gutted $20b from the IRS that could be used to audit millionaires and billionaires - the IRS famously brings in more money for every dollar funded into the service link

    This is all public theater to distract from his actual actions with the government—and the tech industry, too.

      No, it’s not. Trump is too shallow for that. This is a legit question of policy with many racist motives from multiple parties.

    Free speech; but only in the context of “You are free to agree with my speech”

    Why does this clown get so much coverage? There’s even sad fanboys who reference him with their username. Smh.

    I believe Musk just threatened to go to war with the United States over his stance on H1-B visas on twitter.
