As my third act as CEO, I will contradict my stated motivation of protecting free speech by charging people, exposing once and for all that sheer pettiness and impulsivity motivated me to blow $44 billion and I'm desperately trying to salvage this mistake.

“We’re going to eliminate this system of Haves and Have-Nots by introducing a new system where people can pay to have something or not.”

Elon the “free speech absolutist” will absolutely make sure your freedom to spew hate-mongering, anti-semitic, racist, conspiratorial speech gets top billing on the feed as long as you feed him with money. Does he seriously think this will offset all the lost revenue from the advertisers fleeing in droves?

So the “free speech absolutist” wants people to pay for access to his “public square”? I don’t get it. 

Maybe try to figure out a business plan  before paying 44 bil for something.

With the openness of most large Blockchains, I think it would be not impossible for a motivated enforcement group to trace back which wallets are being utilized.

Flat Earther, Anti Vaxxer, Anti Semitic. He’s a renaissance man.

Already happened. This is the douche that couldnt handle people tracking his jet. He’s just as big a grifter as Trump and as soon as the auto-giants really finish Tesla and the markets wise up to his bullshit, Musk will fade into obsolescence along with the other “cool” grandpas...

Man... Newsmax is cutting ties with you because you’re too extreme, and yet you used to be an award winning correspondent on 60 Minutes? Time for some therapy. The oddball thing is that I’m pretty sure she’s not even American, having been born in South Africa (which could explain the above average racism) why everyone…

Don’t forget Necco wafers, aka chalk disks.

I used to feel sorry for her. It seems like she was pretty fucked up after the mass sexual assault in Egypt followed by imploding her mainstream journalism career with the Benghazi stuff.

Okay, I’m with you on this one (and I will see you that godawful ribbon candy that used to live in grandma’s house in a bowl on the table!)

Man, what a shitty heaven. Sounds like my HOA.

Agreed. I must say I take bitter amusement that the GOP-ers who keep screaming that “the facts don’t care about your feelings” when disagreeing with... well, anyone... seem to uphold the diametric opposite standard for themselves: “my feelings don’t care about your facts!”

$18,475 for the gravest of infractions. I’m sure Space X or any company isn’t making any meaningful changes to workplace safety if that is fine.

They don’t care that you know. The fact is, the game is rigged in their favor in enough different places that they’ve now realized that they can drop the act. And it’s always been an act.

Let’s cut the bullshit.

Longtime weirdo leaves politics to go be a weirdo full time.

I think many Americans (at least the GOP) are now fully immune to hypocrites whenever it fits their agenda. They truly just won’t care about this.
