"But you have to admire someone who's willing to run a business into the ground for his ideals"
What ideals? He said just few months ago he'll never unban Alex Jones because: "I have no mercy on anyone who uses the deaths of children for gain, fame or politics."
Those were his stated ideals. As you see they're worth zero.
- illiac786 3y agothis. Elon has no principle or ideals, he makes strong and often insulting statements which he then changes a couple of weeks later. He's like a two year old, but significantly more dangerous.
- 3cats-in-a-coat 3y agoEven uglier than the whims of a two-year old, he may be motivated by advance knowledge of today's news by Tucker Carlson: Carlson is moving forward with his plans for a private streaming framework for his shows. Effectively he's moving his show off Twitter. And fearing the coverage, I could see how Elon Musk wanted to find a similar figure to put in his place both to suppress the news of Carlson leaving, and to avoid the narrative of an "X-odus" spreading from big advertisers, to the prominent right-wing figures on X seen leaving. It all comes down to ego, appearances, and power. All very ineptly wielded, since if your best hope is inviting Alex Jones to your platform, you definitely have to stop and think hard WTF you're doing wrong.
- illiac786 3y agooh, I like “X-odus” so much. It’s “he did this to himself”, but twice over.
