Daughter turning into something I don’t like? Buy out the thing she uses to try and regulate her. Very normal and healthy behavior

This "technology" community is quickly becoming just as bad as the one on reddit.

The insane ravings and personal drama of a lunatic billionaire isn't news about technology.

Even news about Twitter itself isn't technology news. Twitter is a business that sells services. They don't make or contribute to any types of technology.

The only thing that Twitter technology related is that their business operates on the internet. That's it. Chewy.com or NYTimes.com is just as much "technology" as Twitter is.

This is revisionist, that sequence of events was what caused him to start to play footsie with the idea of buying Twitter, the SEC saying that’s a big no-no is what made him actually make the offer to buy it and then he was forced by a court to finish the deal after a long legal battle to not buy it

They always tell on themselves.

Elon your daughter thinks the rich are evil because of knowing you personally

You're sure proving her wrong, right Elon? ...Right?

Literally every single day we have idiots doing Musk’s PR work for free.

Downvote Musk spam. The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle.

Anyone whose net worth is in the billions is evil, because pretty much the only feasible way to gather that much wealth is to be a psychopath.

Based Jenna

Obvious pattern w/ Elon blaming his stupidity on everyone else except himself. The media really should stop giving this jackass narcissist attention.

Mr Musk had initially rushed to embrace the news when Jenna, formally known as Xavier, transitioned at age 16.

To me this suggests that he first thought it would seem hip and contrarian to support his trans daughter, then he realized that actually the people he considers hip and contrarian are all about hating on trans kids now, and so swiftly pivoted to doing that. (I don't imagine he had any strong feelings about his daughter as a person either way - it's not like he was around for her childhood changing diapers or whatever)

The guy gets his life force from being talked about. If we ignore him completely and show his daughter the support he never gave her, it will ruin him.

“Unless the woke mind virus, which is fundamentally anti-science, anti-merit, and anti-human in general, is stopped, civilisation will never become multi-planetary,” Mr Musk told Mr Isaacson.

“If you want ~~to just be a niche player~~ an iconic name, PayPal is a better name, But if you want ~~to take over the world’s financial system~~ it to be impossible to reliably websearch and talk about outside a very specific context, then X is the better name.”

Fixed that for you.

There's a reason why people still call it Twitter, you know.

He said in April: “Twitter could become what X.com should have been, and we can help save free speech in the process.”

And a potato could become a bell pepper to save my gulasch. Sadly it won't because reality doesn't magically revolve around my belly button, and it wouldn't even if I were rich. So instead I'm making some curry.

Musk should learn to cook.

Mr Musk suggested charging people to be verified to eliminate bots, bring in cash and help transform it into a payments platform - fulfilling his “original vision” for X.com

Ignorance on the nature of his own platform. Even if you demanded a single cent out of it, saner people won't put their credit card info there, simply because they want to reduce the amount of data that you can vulture out of them.

In other words he flushed the baby alongside the dirty bathtub water.

Mr Agrawal had tried to resign. // “But we beat him,” said Mr Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro.

TIL Musk behaves like an internet shitposter.

Time for the new game, "GPT? Or just bad writing?"

Mr Musk had initially rushed to embrace the news when Jenna, formally known as Xavier, transitioned at age 16.

But when she later cut him out of her life entirely, he knew he had a fight on his hands, a battle which would eventually culminate in the world’s richest man buying Twitter for $44 billion.

This is all that is said about her cutting him out of her life.

Despite his businesses, Tesla, SpaceX and Starlink, all outperforming their rivals and soaring in value, Mr Musk was still unfulfilled in April 2022.

Shivon Zilis, a director of Neuralink, Mr Musk’s AI firm and the mother of his twins, told him: “You don’t have to be in a state of war at all times. Or is it that you find greater comfort when you’re in periods of war?”

Mr Musk said his “default settings” include always wanting “to push my chips back on the table or play the next level of the game.”

"I'm a transphobic dickhead who flirts with Nazis on Twitter but no no it must be the evil socialism that drove my daughter to hate me"

She sounds pretty based ngl

Guys, he's not that bad...

He's only a money hoarding billionaire who came from a glut of generational wealth obtained through other's suffering via his father's Emerald mine, which Musk vehemently denies exists in order to build up his image of being self-made.

I mean it's not like his father used that wealth to boost him up by being among the first angel investors in his first company, ZIP2, something else which he vehemently denies to keep up his self-made image.

It's not like he went on to use the money he got from selling ZIP2 to become an ~~early angel investor~~ "co-founder" of X.com, which he then essentially forced the actual founders out of before selling that onwards as well.

It's not like he then went onto use almost the exact tactic to force/sue his way into being a "co-founder" of Tesla.

And it's definitely not like he had a friend get appointed Administrator of NASA, who conveniently decided to award SpaceX almost $300 million, despite them not having flown any rockets yet.

His daughter is obviously worried about nothing, and he just needed to prove her wrong by cack-handedly buying out the platform she used to speak out ~~in order to control her~~ in the name of free speech.

Quite a language choice there for someone riddled with cryptofascist brainworms

I've hypothesized before that he just bought Twitter to destroy a platform for "woke" people, but it's still weird reading it out like this. This whole thing reads like destroying one of the biggest social media platforms while wasting billions of dollars is about the same level of investment for him as buying a new phone is for me. Not insignificant, but also something he just does on a whim. And honestly I think his daughter will not exactly like him more after this lol. Rich cunts like Elon buying whatever they fancy just to gain more power is exactly what she'd hate if the article is to be believed.

Somehow both unbelievable and completely believable that he is going to try and blame his child for making the stupid decision to pay so much for Twitter and for waving due diligence, which would have given him space to back out of the deal.

Imagine being such a good communicator that between sitting down to talk to your semi estranged daughter or buying a tech platform, you choose the latter.

MSM: Keeps churning out click-bait headlines

Also MSM: "Why are our numbers down?"

to the trans communist who is destroying both Twitter and the emerald boy.

Being rich implies you are evil. If you were good, you would give back to the people who create your wealth.

A good person understands they are not entitled to that much money with so much bad things in the world nor need it in the first place to live a decent live.

Doing his best to really prove her point.

Ever think how ironic it is that people who didn't care about an actual virus and downplayed it and any attempts to mitigate it for two years are now obsessed over the "woke mind virus" which is totally made up?

What a load of trash.

Musk tried to artificially raise the stock price by speculating, and was legally forced to make good on his advances lest he face a bunch of lawsuits

To put 44 billion into perspective, if each dollar was 1 second of time:

40,000 seconds is about 11 hours

4 million seconds is about 46 days.

44 billion seconds is about 1268 years.
