Since there has already been a lot of activity on this post, I cannot delete the post. However, I will lock it, and in the future, such posts will be highly filtered from getting posted.
Personal take: it kind of shows how far right Elon Musk exactly is. Giving the likes of him exposure is not healthy for Lemmy.
The only virus out here is the worms squirming around Elmo’s fat head. Treat your daughter like shiat, she’ll hate you for it. Don’t blame the world. Blame the image in the mirror
The guy gets his life force from being talked about. If we ignore him completely and show his daughter the support he never gave her, it will ruin him.
I could be generous and say they are not evil, but the system that allows them to become billionaires in the first place is evil.
But as soon as you say “Twitter made my daughter hate rich people, so to prove her wrong I bought it and ran it into the ground so people can’t exchange ideas there anymore”…yeah, you’re not making the case you think you are.
Being rich implies you are evil. If you were good, you would give back to the people who create your wealth.
A good person understands they are not entitled to that much money with so much bad things in the world nor need it in the first place to live a decent live.
Ever think how ironic it is that people who didn’t care about an actual virus and downplayed it and any attempts to mitigate it for two years are now obsessed over the “woke mind virus” which is totally made up?
This "technology" community is quickly becoming just as bad as the one on reddit.
The insane ravings and personal drama of a lunatic billionaire isn't news about technology.
Even news about Twitter itself isn't technology news. Twitter is a business that sells services. They don't make or contribute to any types of technology.
The only thing that Twitter technology related is that their business operates on the internet. That's it. Chewy.com or NYTimes.com is just as much "technology" as Twitter is.
Yeah this is just the new Society Pages of the rich and famous (ie people whose job is managing your attention).
Even my beloved Paris Marx, of the Tech Won’t Save Us podcast (recommended), can’t help themself from constantly crowing about Musk’s latest tort against humanity.
They don’t make or contribute to any types of technology.
That part isn’t completely true. When they created the bootstrap framework it changed how many people built websites. They can and have contributed to technology. However, your point is valid that news about Twitter is business news.
This is why you don’t write your own article titles. The first sentence is confusing and doesn’t identify who “she” is. Only after reading the second sentence do you have some idea, and the order is still confusing.
He's only a money hoarding billionaire who came from a glut of generational wealth obtained through other's suffering via his father's Emerald mine, which Musk vehemently denies exists in order to build up his image of being self-made.
I mean it's not like his father used that wealth to boost him up by being among the first angel investors in his first company, ZIP2, something else which he vehemently denies to keep up his self-made image.
It's not like he went on to use the money he got from selling ZIP2 to become an early angel investor "co-founder" of X.com, which he then essentially forced the actual founders out of before selling that onwards as well.
It's not like he then went onto use almost the exact tactic to force/sue his way into being a "co-founder" of Tesla.
And it's definitely not like he had a friend get appointed Administrator of NASA, who conveniently decided to award SpaceX almost $300 million, despite them not having flown any rockets yet.
His daughter is obviously worried about nothing, and he just needed to prove her wrong by cack-handedly buying out the platform she used to speak out in order to control her in the name of free speech.
“Unless the woke mind virus, which is fundamentally anti-science, anti-merit, and anti-human in general, is stopped, civilisation will never become multi-planetary,” Mr Musk told Mr Isaacson.
“If you want to just be a niche player an iconic name, PayPal is a better name, But if you want to take over the world’s financial system it to be impossible to reliably websearch and talk about outside a very specific context, then X is the better name.”
Fixed that for you.
There’s a reason why people still call it Twitter, you know.
He said in April: “Twitter could become what X.com should have been, and we can help save free speech in the process.”
And a potato could become a bell pepper to save my gulasch. Sadly it won’t because reality doesn’t magically revolve around my belly button, and it wouldn’t even if I were rich. So instead I’m making some curry.
Musk should learn to cook.
Mr Musk suggested charging people to be verified to eliminate bots, bring in cash and help transform it into a payments platform - fulfilling his “original vision” for X.com
Ignorance on the nature of his own platform. Even if you demanded a single cent out of it, saner people won’t put their credit card info there, simply because they want to reduce the amount of data that you can vulture out of them.
In other words he flushed the baby alongside the dirty bathtub water.
Mr Agrawal had tried to resign. // “But we beat him,” said Mr Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro.
