He seems ok to me (for someone that powerful). I don't know much about him at all but I don't get bad vibes from him.

I think it's funny that a lot of people who are super worried about lowering carbon emissions to fight climate change ALSO hate Elon Musk, who single handedly made electric cars popular.

someone can't hate two different things for two different reasons?

carbon emissions from gas powered civilian cars are an incredibly small part of the overall climate crisis anyways, less than 5%

creating carbon neutral civilian products is not going to solve anything since 90% carbon comes from big corporations and militaries

I'm far more cynical. These are the sorts of outcomes of a deliberate vector of growth that the establishment has wanted for about a century now. Electric cars solve nothing at all from an environmental standpoint, but do allow for far tighter control over movement of populations. Brains chips.. well, that needs no explanation!

It's pretty clear we're being pushed rather than drawn towards some sort of dystopian technological hell. If the establishment/military industrial complex put their name to these innovations then the public would react against it, so they utilized fronts instead to avoid backlash. I think Elon is part of that equation. I don't believe anyone can amass that level of wealth or create industry disrupting technology without being under the thumb.

The lack of MSM challenge to the electric cars and littering of Earth's orbit with satellites tells me all I need to know. His words and actions aren't congruent either. In short, you could argue he is just a capitalistic conman.. but in my estimation there's more going on.

Those are some interesting observations and very rational. If I'm right in saying you think it's a push towards a future none of us want only we are being pushed by a front man in Musk (as well as others obviously) so the people don't assume anything? Because he doesn't come across as having ill intent and has a good household brand image he's able to pave the way for a future that is just as detrimental to us as if it came from any other source the public is aware of?

And I have to agree on the satellites. It's something rarely mentioned unless its in alt/independent news. I believe the ISS was hit by floating debris not so long ago? And yes, the potential for electric cars to be used to reinforce the digital control grid is a real issue. I have read articles on it and its fairly scary. Police will be able to control cars, slow them down, pull them over etc. This is something they have stated they want. And then you've got the basic realization by then you WONT actually be in control of the car. That is a form of control whatever you look at it. Just another facet of our everyday lives taken away because we are obsolete in the eyes of those who want to rule the world.

To me it's clear we're being maneuvered towards a kind of digital prison system under the guise of various emergencies (covid, climate change, war, etc). A whole other topic of discussion, but the transhumanist and technocracy world order has been in the minds of the ruling elite since the early 20th century when electricity made its first true appearance. Huxley's 'Brave New World' (1932) was a window into what they want - his grandfather was a high-level British establishment person and their family has connections to various top groups, round tables, military intelligence, etc.

Musk himself may not have any malicious intent beyond financial greed, but we don't know him or his associations. I err on the side of guilty until proven innocent when someone has that level of wealth, and is involved in the things he is.

With all his billions he could do so much, but all he seems to care about is manipulating stock prices and buying up others businesses then making them appear as if made them.

Elon Musk Buys Twitter: Elon Musk and Twitter Reach Deal for Sale (Published 2022)

Twitter agreed to be taken over at $54.20 a share, a 38 percent premium over the share price before it was revealed that Mr. Musk had been buying up the company’s stock.
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com

I don't understand why the right is so excited about this. Because twitter banned Trump?

Do you really think Elon Musk has completely impartial freedom of speech in mind? The richest man in the world has no agenda???

The richest man in the world now owns one of the biggest social media platforms... sounds like the plot to a book. Kinda scary, if you ask me.

the vast majority of elected officials are multimillionaires... hmm...

ehhhh...... debatable... hypothetical
 
Musk is an unbelievable clown, but I gotta be honest in that I would like to see him own Twitter. Sometimes I like watching things burn, like the $TSLA stock =D

It's not a done deal though, the process will last many more months so don't be fooled by the clickbait title!

Tesla owners are more Republican than you'd think

Elon Musk has trained his Twitter guns on top Democrats such as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Now he's going after Joe Biden.
www.cnn.com www.cnn.com

Surveys show Tesla shoppers are only slightly more likely to be Democrats than Republicans.

Surveys by research firm Morning Consult show that in January about 22% of Democrats were considering buying a Tesla, while 17% of Republicans were looking to purchase one. And that gap has been closing — Republican consideration of buying a Tesla has risen about 3 percentage points just since December’s survey. And Republicans are slightly more likely to trust the Tesla brand, 27% compared to 25% among Democrats.




anyways, I thought they were mad at the thought of orange mop boy being unbanned?

this democrat v republican scenario just kills me inside.
It's just so crazy how people are just automatically split in two groups in the US :confused:
and the saddest part is how this is used to make both sides hate each other.

OmG yOu ArE rEpEmOcRaT?1

even the 'research' seems to be doing deep field scans on this bullcrap.
democrats are such & such, and republicans are so & so.
if we did that in Germany again, England would be declaring war on us once more.

Classism is the death of democracy

Feel bad for you US peeps. Do like the rest of the world and stop seeing a difference.
You're all US imperialist scum 😇😇😇
 
I would tend to agree that little will change. It was already owned by donor class elites anyways. Who cares if it’s a different billionaire ?

what I don’t understand though is people saying that this is ”win for free speech“… I’ve seen that take all over twitter lately.

I’m just not seeing how keeping the platform in the hands of a billionaire (who is not in any way accountable to the public) is good for our constitutional freedoms?

you have to place your trust into one central figure and hope that he does things fairly. doesn‘t sound too great to me

all the crypto simps he’s brought in should recognize that this is anything but a trustless decentralized system
