The situation with Twitter has gotten so ridiculous that it's pretty much impossible to comment substantively on this topic at this point. So: lol

  There isn't enough popcorn on the planet for this show. 10/10 would watch again.

It's possible, it's just that Musk's behavior is so abhorrent there's essentially no remaining reasonable defense of any of his naked hypocrisy and childishness.

  On the grand scale of things, Musk's twitter behaviour isn't even a nanohitler, well bellow Bill Gates, the Koch brothers or Murdock and not even close to basically any world leader (Tony Blair, George W Bush, Barrack Obama, Emmanuel Macron). Don't overuse words like "abhorent" unless you want to seem like you're hysterically overreacting.

    > inspiring disgust and loathing; repugnant. It fits, and I’ll use it if I want, thanks. You’re the one bringing in comparisons to hitler, bizarrely enough.

      The 90s and early 2000s. Things like embrace extend extinguish.

I was holding the "wait and see" stance on the whole saga. I've now seen. lol

> to comment substantively on this topic at this point Why not? "It's a private platform!". If that very substantive statement was embraced a couple of years ago by many that have now got banned I don't see why they can't follow their own (past) advice.

I joked with a friend years ago when Elon started this act that if the billionaire class is going to have their way with the rest of society then they better at least be entertaining. I can’t say I’ve been much of an Elon fan for a while now but he does give me plenty to gawk at, a modern day bread and circus.

The one potential silver lining is maybe now more people realize the ridiculousness of this all and the pendulum swings back the other way some how.
