Elon Musk $41B offer for Twitter

[ZedLeg]

He’s not a paradox, he’s a bad person who had some good ideas. The two things aren’t exclusive.

I had him down as a bit misguided now and again, plus prone to his mouth working before his brain sometimes but never really followed his morals closely.

What makes him a bad person?

Spreading anti-semitic conspiracy theories is objectively bad.

[ZedLeg]

Spreading bigoted conspiracies mostly.

[Dagnir]

Such as? Any examples?

I've genuinely no idea what he's done...

[ZedLeg]

Loads have already been posted in this very thread.

[Dagnir]

I'm quite sure there are but its 478 pages long and I was responding directly to someone saying he's a bad person, so I thought they might have an idea why

Nvm...

[President Merkin]

Well it wouldn't kill you to browse through a few pages now would it?


But since you can't find a bone in your leg, here's the very top result of typing Musk conspiray into Twitter search. There are dozens more. America will become a perma socialist state if Biden wins again.

I know why, it’s been documented extensively here.

Who comes into page 500 or whatever of a thread and asks for a recap

You're clearly determined to argue. I'm not.

You're also being dishonest.

I wasn't asking for a full recap. I responded directly to someone saying he was a bad person and I simply asked why.

It was such a simple conversational request.

Why are people so confrontational?

Well he's partially right here but also exaggerating.

I don't see how that makes him a bad person.

[hidetheelephants]

Because sealioning a 500 page thread is just rude.

[ZedLeg]

Look man, it would’ve taken two seconds to go look. This was on the last page before this one.

Musk again spreading lies this was the guy that was falsely accused, even on Fox, but cleared. Ai generated image?



He wasn’t involved. He wasn't even there. And he's not an illegal, he’s an asylum-seeker, and he’s using the legal process.
Free tickets to California - again lies. There was supposedly a “police source” that said the suspects tricked a Catholic charity into giving them tickets. But that’s been proven false.

https://www.techarp.com/politics/elon-musk-nyc-mig...

and Musk there are claims Musk removed the community note correcting him



The police even lied about the attackers, claiming he turned and confronted offices, but he was walking away as revealed by their body cameras

Remember Ben Brody, who sued Musk a few months ago after being falsely accused of a crime in one of Musk's tweets.
Seems his lawyer wants to also sue Musk over this.

Righto mate. Sealioning is so boring.

[Byker28i]

Basically I think we are all mostly in agreement that Musks companies push tech forward, Space X (rockets are cool), starlink, even Tesla, however Musk himself seems a very flawed individual with some very dodgy racist/white supremacist views, which he likes to spout regularly on twitter/X, or promote similar accounts promoting similar views - v=because 'free speech'.

So free he killed community notes correcting him

Sealioning? Had to look that one up, thanks.

ZedLeg said:

Thank you.

So immigrants did beat up police officers but he used a trending meme image of a (connected but not involved) disrespectful immigrant to represent his post and thus insinuated the guy in the photo was guilty.

The other stuff was info that came from the authorities but was later deemed incorrect.

I'd say lazy and clumsy rather than it makes him a person.

[ZedLeg]

Shocked that you won’t accept the evidence.

There are none so blind etc

You think one quick question in direct response to someone's claim is sealioning?

Righto!!
