Honestly I knew Elon was, to be quite frank, to be an absolute idiot of the highest order. But the current shenanigans just has me feeling like "Our expectations for you were low but holy fuck"

Yeah, honestly I'm a bit ashamed that I didn't realize just how stupid that man could be, even after hearing that he leaned over to his new wife while dancing at their wedding and whispered in her ear "I am the alpha". Like, for a long time I just assumed the guy was an arrogant incel-esque asshole who was visionary about things like electric cars and reusable rockets and stuff. Now I realize he's just a rich egomaniac who stood on the shoulders of scientists that he hired so that he could act like their work was his own. He's just another rich fool who gets to cosplay being smart.

Here's a list of his promises: https://elonmusk.today/

Well, he didn't really specify who would be voting

Fascists and fascist apologists, probably

That fact that unedited screenshots of Twitter's CEO's posts can be posted directly to 196 and fit in completely with memes about femboy twink hypnosis says a lot about our society.

Yes he did post this last year. He’s a 🤡

I can't even begin to fathom the type of personality you need to have to still use Twitter.

“Sorry guys, pinky promise I won’t do it again”

Spoiler:It will happen again

To everyone who thinks this Tweet is in reply to the shitstorm over the past 24 hours: it isn't. Check the date.

"I acknowledge that I made a huge mistake: leaving myself open to being held accountable for my decisions. Moving forward we will be holding community polls. I'm still gonna do the same dumb shit I would have otherwise, but now I'll have plausible deniability!"

I’d bet $10 he tries that, doesn’t like the result and blames it on bots or smthn then vows to never do democracy again.

Or he’ll only let Twitter blue subscribers vote. Musk’s version of democracy is pay to win, makes sense for a billionaire tho.

Eat the rich.

This was from last year and he just made a unilateral change with no vote.

I'm starting to think think Elon guy is full of shit.

[–] hiyaaaaa23@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Huh who could have seen this Coming

IMHO Musk is the Tech Trump

[–] poo@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Elon Musk is such an ignorant spoiled man-child. The world would be much better without 🤡s like him

[–] pupperino@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Dude is trying to save face lol. Kinda pathetic

[–] IHeartBadCode@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There will be a vote. When I remember to do a vote. But only on MAJOR changes and I get to define major!

[–] hiyaaaaa23@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Sounds like trump lol
