Is Elon Musk the greatest visionary or the greatest snake oil salesman of our age?

Yeah ISIS were recruiting massively on Twitter between 2014 and 2016, it's a big reason why they had to abandon light touch moderation on there, and why Musk's policy is so daft

I think you can be quite “light touch” and still give actual terrorist groups the shove.

Prior to Musk the Taliban were still on there. Not sure what the situation is now…
 
Including his own company's logo in the vague collage of Bad Things is a fantastic touch, though.

Maybe a flicker of self-awareness still in there. It’s like some kind of Christmas puzzle trying to work out what all the Bad Things are.

I’ve got five left to figure out.

I think I've got pretty much all of them, middle of the chest is Planned Parenthood, can't work out the bottom of one of the legs but guessing it's something occult? Also not totally clear on the significance of the neckscarf.

I was having trouble with the neckscarf and that symbol on the leg too.
Are those tarot cards in the left hand?

As he's got rid of a lot of international moderators I'd have thought it would be a matter of time. A lot of the Daesh accounts were being spotted and mass reported by volunteers and Anonymous etc too

The second part you mention could still happen, but agree about the first being an issue.

The problem is that a lot of people who did that stuff, although not all, are likely to be the type of people who Musk wouldn't want on his platform, antifa, Kurdish activists etc

The one on the leg looks like a pagan symbol for a horned god:

If you want to wind up any misogynists who post this image then you should let them know that:

Horned God​

The horned god is one of the many names given to the male aspects of spirituality and life, and this term is most often used within the tradition of Wicca. This symbol can be used to invoke the god during rituals and other magical work.

The horned god is associated with the wilderness and virility. Some people also believe that it is the horned god that carries the souls of the dead to the underworld.

You mean they’ll be upset by the virility thing?
 
Musk's position as one of the richest people is definitely yesterday now, it was held up by the massive valuation given to his Tesla holdings. With that tanking his notional wealth will also have fallen.

But I wonder what it means for Tesla itself? Could it be that they might be a takeover target? or does Musk own enough shares to prevent that? What other implications can a collapsing share price have on the company?

For Musk himself, he can't raid the piggy bank to buy things like Twitter now, he did sell a lump of shares recently to raise money for a rainy day.
 
I don't know which I am more surprised (disappointed) by: that a supposed titan of industry would tweet like a child or that I am surprised a supposed titan of industry would tweet like a child.

Now, I honestly think he's mentally ill.

“I’m not cis, you are” is somehow funny, but I’m probably missing what he actually meant by it.
