@Popehat @mmasnick I’ve already seen “it’s free speech, not free advertising” as the talking point lmao

@Popehat @mmasnick Wait so "Mastodon" is a no-go, but "Hometown" is fine? 🤔

@Popehat @mmasnick link-ban evaders are almost certainly going to be found nearly exclusively by muskovite tattletales, I assume, also.

@jxyzn @Popehat @mmasnick The thing about running a gestapo is, you hardly even have to pay people to do it. They'll do it out of the love of ruining somebody else's day.

@Popehat @mmasnick I've got the picture of Apu jumping in front of the robber just ready to go.

I can admit I WAS a Musk fanboy as recently as 2019, but I have the grace to admit I was wrong. I do think his rise to stratospheric wealth and power is contributing to his downfall. Nobody can tell him 'NO' anymore.

@Bamfurlough @Popehat @mmasnick He grew up in South Africa in a wealthy family. His father owned an emerald mine. He came to America for school and flunked out. Stayed illegally. He joined Tesla and pushed out the owners. Took government subsidies to hire the best to develop cars. Same with Starlink. He’s the perfect example of a mediocre white man who failed up

@Bethany @Popehat @mmasnick

To be fair he actually graduated with two degrees (Econ and Physics) from the University of Pennsylvania and was accepted at Stanford to study for a PhD in Physics, but left after only two days to focus on entrepreneurship.

I'm happy to rip Elon to shreds these days, but at least criticize him accurately.

@Popehat @mmasnick Defend what? They're too busy listening to the libs who are all screaming right now which is all they ever wanted. Would be way more effective if there was no reaction at all in my opinion.
