- mikkergp 4y agoYeah, it makes me wonder, if his trans child had committed suicide, would he be against bullying trans folk? I'm firmly in support of his decision to ban Alex Jones, but this is why things should be rules based instead of the emotional whims of the owner, because there are so many other examples of trauma that should probably be mitigated that Musk hasn't personally experienced. But instead we get a set of rules based on Musk's own personal life experience.

- papito 4y agoMusk has been saying "I am the law" to multiple people. Like, saying that specifically. This dude is on a really out-of-control power trip. https://davetroy.medium.com/no-elon-and-jack-are-not-competitors-theyre-collaborating-3e88cde5267d https://davetroy.medium.com/no-elon-and-jack-are-not-competi... --- Q: So Putin, Musk, and Dorsey share the same vision? A: It’s complicated. All seem to think a “multipolar world” is a good thing, because after all, shouldn’t Russia get to do its thing and not be bothered by anyone else? That’s “free speech” and opposes “cancel culture,” right? So yeah, that’s aligned with Putin. But Putin himself doesn’t support free speech; his government censors wildly, but it does support speech that breaks the hegemony of the Western elites. As do Musk and friends. This is internally inconsistent. --- All this talk of being oppressed by the powers that be, the "unipolar world", etc. These are the people who want to be horrible and loved at the same time, and when that doesn't happen, they lash out. It's a type of ultra entitlement on cocaine. They talk of freedom of speech or freedom of anything, really, it's just shockingly cynical and dishonest. They only believe in the opinion of the masses if the masses ADORE them. Also, Elon Musk would make a terrible king (which is what he wants to be).
