Elon said it was fine.
Weird thing about Musk is that he genuinely seems to be acting out of principle rather than in pursuit of maximum profits now. The problem is that his 'principle' is 'supporting fascist scum by spreading disinformation'. That is the hill this misanthropic billionaire wants to die on.
I don’t know if I want to live in a world where Musk is US president, however since he’s a South African, we don’t need to worry about that prospect.No, he is acting out of desire for political power, not just financial power.
Edit - can see him as Trump's successor if Harris wins in November.
They could concoct a reverse Birther conspiracy theory which contends that he was in fact born in the US.I don’t know if I want to live in a world where Musk is US president, however since he’s a South African, we don’t need to worry about that prospect.
President Musk has a nice ring to itNo, he is acting out of desire for political power, not just financial power.

Presumably not, given the the VP becomes P in the event of a deathCan the Vice-President be born abroad? Make Musk VP, but he is the real power.
We (I) are living in a simulation. It's pretty obvious. "Elon Musk". As if. "We need a villain, what's a good villain name?".Why are all these wankers named after dodgy smells? Musk, Trump etc....

Fully expecting Trump to turn up in some kind of mech at some point.
No Elon, I can't believe it. And nor will anyone who hasn't been kicked in the head by a mule.
"interesting"
"Elon Musk engaged in one of his regular habits on The Platform Formerly Known as Twitter, amplifying a controversial tweet by commenting that it was “interesting” — this time a right-wing account that called for democracy to be replaced with a government system run by “high status males” and “aneurotypical people." "
the tweet itself is a howler
Elon Musk Promotes Tweet Calling for Democracy to Be Replaced With ‘Republic’ Run By ‘High Status Males’
Elon Musk engaged in one of his regular habits on The Platform Formerly Known as Twitter, amplifying a controversial tweet by commenting that it was "interesting" -- this time a right-wing account that called for democracy to be replaced with a government system run by "high status males" and...www.mediaite.com
Elon Musk has used his large platform on X to promote a theory that a free-thinking “Republic” could only exist under the decision-making of “high status males” – and women or “low T men” would not be welcome in it.
On Sunday, Musk re-posted a screenshot of the theory – which appears to have been conceived on 4chan in 2021– on the social media site.
The theory, written by an anonymous user, suggests that the only people able to think freely are “high [testostrone] alpha males” and “aneurotypical people”, and that these “high status males” should run a “Republic” that is “only for those who are free to think.”
It isn't worth getting into how ridiculous this is, but male testosterone levels decrease with age. So the logical conclusion of this would be a world where only males between approximately 16 and 27 can vote, as well as some older autistic people.FFS he really needs to seek help. Buy a quiet island and chill for a couple of years.

If it lasts any length of time they'll not come back. Twitter's sole strength these days is that people have already built audiences on it, but once that's replaced ...
Plus, the idea that there is an “objective reality” of society is just laughable.It isn't worth getting into how ridiculous this is, but male testosterone levels decrease with age. So the logical conclusion of this would be a world where only males between approximately 16 and 27 can vote, as well as some older autistic people.
Incidentally, male testosterone levels start declining at around the age where the prefrontal cortex fully matures (25) so there's a lot wrong with the idea that high testosterone means pure rationality. In fact peak testosterone is late teens, below the drinking age in the US.
