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

[Jeff Robinson]

Musk is now literally promoting neo-nazism on Twitter. That’s not an exaggeration or hyperbole, just a statement of fact:

Elon Musk Wades Deeper into Antisemitic Propaganda

Elon Musk is cozying up to antisemites who want the Anti-Defamation League banned from Twitter

Some of the links in there are just so depressing. One of the (many) things I don’t understand is whether the people posting these memes and stuff do they fully comprehend that they’re reprising something centuries old and are sort of enjoying aligning themselves with their predecessors in the Jew-hate industry, or do they not know, do they imagine they’ve stumbled upon something new.

Now Twitter is serving up the 14 words as a paid-for promotion. How much worse is this going to get?

Of course most of them know. It is kind of the point for a lot of them. The percentage division between committed neo-Nazis and juvenile, puerile trolls is another matter.

Musk continues with anti-semitism and gaslighting:

Elon Musk has sparked anger after claiming the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) organisation are “the biggest generators of antisemitism” on Twitter, the social media platform he owns and now calls X.

The billionaire made the remark in response to a video clip of conspiracy theorist presenter Alex Jones claiming on his Infowars show that the ADL are “the most pro-Hitler organisation I have ever seen in action.”

Musk tweeted in response: ”The ADL, because they are so aggressive in their demands to ban social media accounts for even minor infractions, are ironically the biggest generators of antisemitism on this platform!”

Musk claims US anti-extremism group are ‘biggest generators of antisemitism’ on Twitter

I'm no fan of the ADL, but Musk promoting an openly antisemitic campaign and then blaming jewish people responding to it as the problem is just emblematic of what a lowlife he is.

Ok that’s got to be enough for some more people & advertisers to leave, hopefully. You don’t accept paid content like that by mistake not really, but I wonder what sort of ads they would refuse nowadays if any.

Let them all in musk, the peados, the rapists, the nazis, the woman haters. It’ll be a free speech heaven. And then watch the rest of us walk away from you with your platform and pocket in ruins, you massive fucking twat.

Not to defend Musk, but twitter has always had a fondness for openly nazi content. I left there when their pre-Musk mod teams saw nothing wrong with a member whose name included the words Zyklon B and whose picture was a load of flames posting openly anti-semitic bilge.

Yeah, that’s true it’s a matter of degree . My friend who used to work there did say the other day that 2012-2018 was pretty bad, for nazi content, not as bad as now though.

If Musk, for argument's sake, had some sort of data-sharing agreement or understanding with X's biggest investor, what offences might he be committing?

There's a really long thread mainly about the lawsuit here:

Unfortunately it won't unroll as it says it's been deleted by the author even though it hasn't but the essence of the lawsuit is this:


e2a weird it' has now disappeared just 2 tweets left

 

[tommers]

That's pre-Musk. (not to say it isn't also happening now).

He then goes on to reply to someone....

Hasn't Musk destroyed the other half so he imself owes roughly $22 billion?

Eta: Rather he's the one destroying half the value.

 

[andysays]

Presumably his suggestion is that the devaluation of the company is nothing to do with Musk's actions and totally the result of those terrible people at the ADL saying nasty things about him

 

[two sheds]

Some interesting information could come out from the Discovery requirements.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Rather he's the one destroying half the value.

He can sue himself. Through a series of clever tax loophole manipulations he can write off the $22b outgoings while not declaring the $22b incoming, leaving himself up on the deal. See, this is why he's rich and we're poor - we're just not visionary enough to see opportunities like him.

The discovery process is exactly why I would bet the rent money that Musky-Poos is flatulating hot gas out of his face-anus when it comes to suing the ADL. It would reveal way too much about how the fascist manchild has been handling anti-Semitism on Twitter.
