For example, he fired 80% of his staff at Twitter (X), especially the part responsible for checking (censoring) the content posted. Now Musk is of course profiting from this himself because he can, for example, spread propaganda from the Kremlin unhindered. Is Musk an idiot or just a little fascist himself?

I used to be on it, and used to get a lot of benefit from it. I followed my centrist line there, and had some good discussions/arguments. Then Musk came along. He made it so that almost nothing one said was read by anyone unless you paid. Because he made it clear he was on the far right, anyone who didn't sympathise with his extremist views opted out of paying. And so its migration to the extreme became a spiral. Musk made claims of being an advocate of free speech. My posts had a tendency towards conciliatory statements. One day I found that I had been banned for life. I can only think that an algorithm picked up a criticism I had made of Musk.

Musk did not develop the Tesla, he invested in it just before it went to production in order to bring it to production, after the inventors had exhausted their financial resources. He required the title of CEO to close the deal with them

[@davidtuer5825]

Nobody "invented" Tesla. What Elon did was to invent a whole new concept of manufacturing motor cars. He also put every cent he had into the business and that gave financial investors confidence to also support Tesla. An electric car was first made before an ICE car There was was no battery technology though at that time.

[@bevmacdonald9008]

@davidtuer5825 Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning invented the EV we know as a Tesla. They had exhausted all their personal revenue sources to develop the prototype and test the market, but were in need of the funds to bring it to mass production. That is where Musk joins the story. Why would you say "no one invented Tesla", when I stated Musk did not invent *the* Tesla, ie the electric car? Eberhard and Tarpenning invented the product Musk invested in. Tesla ( no article 'the' preceeding) is the brand name of the world's most famous electric vehicle, the name from the immigrant scientist who famously invented the Tesla ball and who went toe to toe with Westinghouse in an effort to bring free electricity to the American people. As for your claim that Musk spent every penny is interesting; echoes of PR campaigns past. Musk sold Pay Pal to fund his buy-in and his CEO status with Tesla. It seems to me his penchant for sleeping at his office is a symptom of his aversion to paying property taxes...any taxes, really....

[@bevmacdonald9008]

Look at SpaceX and compare it with Blue Origin. One difference though, Elon was pretty damn rich but no Billionaire.He put ALL his wealth (earned wealth) into Tesla. But back to Space. Both companies were formed by men successful in other spheres. At that time Jeff Bezos was by far the richer of the two. He certainly didn't commit his everything to Blue Origin but he did start with the same ambitions, well so far as getting a rocket ship off the ground is concerned. SpaceX has outstripped Blue Origin in successful innovation and development. SpaceX has also out stripped Boeing and SLS, the two oldest and most experienced companies in that field. Was that also on the shoulders of others? Elon is the Chief Engineer of SpaceX.

Trump and Musk are birds of the same feather.

Elon could provide janitorial services himself. He's perfect for the job.

Finished the book a couple of days ago. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Was disappointed to discover all Dorsey's failings (my fault, I had a starry eyed Twitter view), surprised to discover what a terrible business man Musk is, and how badly he treats people. So I thought him losing so much money was karma for all the deliberate pain he had caused others.

Musk is the new Murdoch but with much more power and life expectancy.

[@zotw-101]

He didn’t even want to buy Twitter, he tried to back out the deal. But it was too late and he was forced to buy it.

[@snowdrop77]

'Twitter' is a much better & appropriate name. Changing it to 'X' just sounds weird

[@Magnus-v9x]

I dropped Twitter,can't stand him treating it like his Private Ant-farm where people lose their Accounts because they criticize him and Republicans. So much for his"Free Speech".

[@Fuzzamajumula]

You're lucky you got a chance to get out, before he permanently suspended you - in which case, you would never be able to cancel. He keeps your data as a personal trophy. It also pads his membership numbers.

[@Magnus-v9x]

@RichardTaterDay1 Yes I know,I joined the Resistance on Twitter in 2018 just to fight Trump and the Rise of Fascism,but I won't support any of Elon's products anymore.

Elon Musk has destroyed Twitter. I have no respect for him. He should have finished his education which may have helped him run his businesses better.

[@BoomerGirl1951]

@ Cutting workforce is why X-Twitter is headed for bankruptcy! Not a good way to run a business!

[@matthewnewton8812]

How can Jack Dorsey remotely “approve of” the job musk has done in running his creation? He took one of the most recognized, beloved brand names on earth and jettisoned the entire thing in favor of a letter…and not even a very good letter. He single handed lost Twitter 75% (!!!!!) of its market cap in less than a year. Twitter is now worth 25% of what it was before he bought it. How could anyone- let alone the company’s founder- not be absolutely sickened?

[@jannarkiewicz633]

He overpaid for twitter and was forced to go through with the transaction - Twitter real value at the time was $20Billion

X market valuation is down to less than $20 Billions!

[@AlexLee360]

And Elon’s net worth is up to $270 billion 😂

Musk's take over of Twitter made social media refugees of many of us, who couldn't reconcile ourselves ethically with staying on it.

[@JohnPreston888]

Succinct, eloquent, and perfectly on-point. Such a shame that Felon Skum used his unassailable ego to destroy something that had real merit, and "a little bird told me" is now history, whereas it should have gone from strength to strength. I hope that a new Social network fills the enormous void...soon (along with employment for all those mistreated in the turmoil).

If he's still alive in 5 years we're doomed.

Musk is an aperthied baby. He understands division and hate. This is what he wants for America.

Do you mean Mark Zuckerberg?

@@synthmaker agreed Zuck isn't exactly a shining example of social slickness... but he wasn't the one to spend $40B+ on a business and then drive it down to less than half it's value (and saying less than half is generous, more like 25-30%). So no, not Zuck. I mean a South African billionaire who acts like he can buy a US presidency.

[@HammerBlack-bp6fy]

Twitter destroyed its self

[@KristalGame-hh9cj]

Having a platform to voice his opinions without the fear of being banned. He needs attention which feeds his soul, so Twitter is the cheapest he can afford. 400 monthly users is still significant. Making another app to succeed would be a much tougher path. Trump's truth social is not even under the radar.

[@ichifish]

Hmm... I would assume Musk thinks of it as "I bought a massive megaphone so I can influence American society."

[@clivemitchell3229]

I suspect he bought a massive data feed with which to train his A.I. If the data is politically biased (and Twitter was heavily left-biased) and discussion across the political spectrum banned (apparently it was) then the A.I. would end up unable to produce reasoned arguments. Whether it is any better now is up for debate. 🤣

[@trancendental5373]

I dont think I've ever heard anyone else say Elon is "very human".

Musk blocks posters he doesn't like, and he amplifies his own Tweets & those he likes. Musk is with the American neo fascist trump now.
