Well, twitter already has 25+% greater user base. Musk is familiar with the inner workings of such companies. No need for ads in such business. Idk - wouldn't surprise me.
Yes I often wonder if the level of sarcasm involved in much of my posting ever comes across lol

Yeah things I type often seem funny to me, rehearsed in my AuDHD head, but come across a bit flat, insulting, or completely nutty to others so

he also legitimately beleieves that life could be a simulation (whatever that means). He has no understand of the most basic chemistry and biology.
He doesn’t understand how electrolytic cells work (batteries) chemical speaking. His entire patent portfolio is likely invalid due to inequitable conduct of forcing himself to be listen as inventor when he did not contribute to the inventing.
He’s a moron with zero engineering or scientific background or foundation masquerading as some scientific inventor ala Elizabeth Holmes.
It’s not enough for him to be a successful business man he needs to be seen as intelligent and as a scientist so desperately.
I had an ex colleague that met him once. He’s a scientist who’s research career is based on trying to reduce carbon dioxide to methane to make renewable fuels (something you would think Elon is interested in). Anyways Elon got cornered what this scientist and a few others at an event and they were all talking shop, talking chemistry and Elon was extremely quiet uncomfortable and excused himself from the conversation since it was way above his head. He can’t hang with engineers and scientists and is always called out for LARPing as one

I can answer that at least. It's a concept in theoretical physics/astrophysics elegantly called the "simulation hypothesis", partially based on the Kardashev scale, where intelligent civilisations would always improve in certain tiers. Type 1 would be in full control of its planet, having access to all resources - especially energy. We're not quite there.
Type 2 would be full control over a star, type 3 its galaxy, and other physicists have since added type 4 extragalactic energy, type 5 i don't even fucking know anymore black holes or some shit, until you finally arrive at control of reality itself, or the entire universe - however you wanna call it.
Using Drake's equation, which calculates the probability of another intelligent civilisation just within our galaxy - they ask why haven't we met aliens and come to 2 "conclusions":
a) we live in a simulation
b) all civilisations die before reaching the point of having too much control, and therefore prevent it from ever happening
and that's why he thinks we might live in a simulation. Which would be fun and logical all in all, but
they ofc are not factoring in c) maybe we're among the first and the universe just wasn't cold enough before, or full of gamma rays. planets' atmospheres unstable, stuff kept dying, fuck do i know.
or d) maybe we are in some kind of quarantine? not really being interacted with until we reach some technological or ethical standard. there certainly have been many officials, agents and soldiers coming forward about UAP/UFOs showing rather supervisory behaviour. If they're to be believed
or e) the bible is real, praise Jesus before he comes down with a chainsaw and a katana to annihilate the unworthy demons we have become.

Those are all sound points but despite believing they are kookie, you gave rationale for why.
Elons rationale seems to be the result of excess ketamine cocaine and listening to real physicists that have strayed from serious research into book selling to the laymen, On Joe Rogan explain to an illiterate, uneducated stoner with CTE, what their research or hypotheses are, in a very watered down version (it’s for brain dead Rogan and his audience). Elon hearing “we live in a simulation" and being a nerd and having seen the matrix, combined with being high on ketamine - leads him to believe this.
It’s not the same way a scientist arrives at such hypotheses. It’s the way a lazy person that doesn’t read and study that only watches YouTube videos passively to "learn” arrives at such a conclusion.
If a persons knowledge base/worldview is made up of what they’ve seen on YouTube passively watching "lectures” and podcasts without having to account for or test their understanding in any way such as a real world test, challenging interview, or academic test….said person is simply brainwashed and doesn’t have much understanding of a rationale for why they believe what they believe.

Well no, engineers aren't scientists. They are high-tech plumbers thinking they invented the wheel.
The guy is heir to a fucking diamond mine, and people are pretending he's some kinda genius. His plans to colonize Mars are outrageously out of the confines of sanity. He wants to colonize a planet that goes down to -50 to -85°C at night. Cool story you can get water, but how do you survive?! Heat all year every day all day? That's seriously the plan?
Totally sane that crazy fucking weirdo.

Did anyone see Tate's 'private' call with Elon Musk? Where he thanks Elon for 'saving humanity'?
Absolutely laughable. One why would he video the call if it's a private conversation. Two how is Elon saving humanity? He is literally designing the technology that will be used to enslave everyone. Eg Neuralink.
Also I doubt our saviour wears a Bamophet jacket. Like Elon's Halloween costume. They are laughing at us in plain sight.
He will use Twitter to force Digital ID for all online accounts. When he does that Social Media is dead in the water. Unless you want to be held accountable for anything you say there, i personally don't.
Here is the Andrew Tate video. I can't imagine how naive someone has to be to fall for this. Both are 100% controlled opposition.

It's coming. I saw an article by Blair (ugh) and his fucking 'institute' the other day, talking about how we need to make Britain a world leader blah blah blah.. AI this and that.. and of course, DigitalID's for 'convenience' of accessing gov services.
They are really gunning for it. I've seen lots of articles about AI too, in everything from education to healthcare. As if any of these cunt MP's know anything about it. Clearly someone is pulling the strings and trying to push us all towards this centralization under one digital gulag type system. Elon is just another pawn in this game, the hip Tony Stark, trying to help sell this bullshit to the younger generations who don't know any better.
Fucks me off. Youtube is dying by deliberate policy moves, google search is fucked, I'm just glad I spent my younger years searching for information when it was there.. because very soon the internet will be nothing more than a television set and playground for corporations to hawk their shite, and anyone who dares to post anything anti-establishment will be identified and subject to what the Stasi called 'Zersetzung'. I'm already seeing my favourite subversive content creators tone down and even disappear altogether.
And then.. what? The internet/social media has led to the death of the social sphere, and social places. No one has the money to start any of that stuff back up i.e. pubs, and laws and restrictions make it even harder than before. So, the ultimate outcome has been what always happens.. the system co-opts something, inverts it, destroys the competition, and then tries to sell us back their perverted version of the original.
This fucking world man. I'm tired of it. It's utter gobshite. Where's that fucking asteroid. *end rant*

He seems to have an almost pathological desire for the attention/praise of others
It’s weird, I would think that if I had twenty quadrillion dollars I wouldn’t give a fuck what anyone thought about anything ever. But different strokes I guess

I think he should suck around for people’s adulation more like Madonna did in that movie “Evita”, where she literally just throws handfuls of money at people from a passing train lol. Would be just as effective but wouldn’t debase himself by pandering to a bunch of online trolls and shitbirds
