What kind of a man, said to be the world’s richest, spends $44 billion to give a platform for racists, antisemites, white nationalists and others to spread hate and abuse? What kind of man defends a man who abuses his power to incite violence and end the peaceful transfer of power?
@StevenBeschloss There are no good billionaires. They are all bad...Elon is just one of the worst of them.
@RayneRaccoon @StevenBeschloss People (including me) used to think he was one of the good ones. Talk about gaslighting.
@RayneRaccoon @StevenBeschloss I used to think that but I’m in Illinois and I love my governor.
@RayneRaccoon @StevenBeschloss agreed. There’s literally no reason for a single person to amass that kind of “money power”.
We have term limits in the Presidency to prevent one person from amassing too much political power, but then we don’t do anything about people who are actually more powerful once they hit a certain level of unnecessary money-based power. It’s our planet’s most dangerous double standard.
@StevenBeschloss
One with very serious ego issues in need of a good therapist and many hours on their couch.
@StevenBeschloss a man that also runs a company that tortures and abuses primates! That kind of man.
@StevenBeschloss a bad man, unaware of how pathetic he is being. Being mortal, he will regret his abuse of power.
@StevenBeschloss
A fascist billionaire with an apartheid mindset…?
@StevenBeschloss I don't know, but that kind of resembles the behavior of certain men in the 1920s and 1930s.
@StevenBeschloss that’s why I left that platform
@StevenBeschloss
I'm just a nerd, lousy at figuring out people. I was hoping you'd know. And as to that, have I been blind all along, or was Musk masking his personality until recently?
@stargazersmith @StevenBeschloss I've known he was always kind of a jerk and thin-skinned, but he seems to have gotten more arrogant and conspiracist only in the past 3 years or so. Definitely since COVID.
@StevenBeschloss A narcissistic sociopath.

@StevenBeschloss

What did he do now?

I was hoping he was just playing a game trying to get right-wingers on the platform to bring them back to reality.

Although, retribution could be the primary motivation. Maybe the Biden admin scoffed him and too many ppl criticized him, and he's going to now try to own democracy.

@ThisMinuteMatters @StevenBeschloss

It's good to see an alternative opinion. Thanks.

@StevenBeschloss One can only conclude he agrees with these things.
@StevenBeschloss Not much of one in the case of the world’s richest person.
@StevenBeschloss the kind of “man” who despite his billions and marriages has managed to develop Big Incel Vibes and the hateful politics that come with them.
@StevenBeschloss Is anyone seriously looking at the science fiction and apocalyptic reality that mvsk who claims to be politically neutral but only communicates and agrees with right wing fascist thinkers & has spent millions of dollars to colonize Mars, has killed hundreds of monkeys and now believes that he is ready to implant electronic devices in human brains which will affect the way that people communicate.

@StevenBeschloss The same type of amoral man-baby who runs for president, somehow wins, tries to stage a coup when he loses re-election, steals classified documents, whines to every court in the land when he's held responsible, then tries to run for president again. Just younger and more tech-savvy.
@StevenBeschloss a complete scumbag, that’s who
@StevenBeschloss You and I cannot understand the world of billionaires -- who shouldn't exist, partly for exactly that reason.
@StevenBeschloss (I refuse to believe that _all_ people like Musk are just callous nihilists seeking to destroy the world -- even though that's what it looks like from "down" here -- instead I assume that their experience of the world must be so different that the thing they're doing _seems_ good / just to (most) of them). Obviously, there are assholes at all levels, but still...

@StevenBeschloss

NONE who should have an unfettered ability to influence hundreds of millions of people for nefarious purposes.

@StevenBeschloss A man who's terrified that a chancery court judge will order more of his text messages to be produced in discovery.
@StevenBeschloss 🤔 a fuckstick of a boy. He hasn't or probably never will be a man.
@StevenBeschloss -
Are you speaking of Musk, or Peter Thiel, or Rupert Murdoch?
@AmerLiberal @StevenBeschloss or maybe even the orange fungus from Florida?
@StevenBeschloss A guy who's a racist, antisemitic white nationalist that hates and abuses people.

@StevenBeschloss

An evil man, with ditto agenda. His intentions where clear from the start. Timed at the midterms, the remarks on Paul Pelosi, his advice to vote GOP, breaking down the rules on the platform, bringing back extremists, destroying open discussion basically. Manipulative, narcissistic and hungry for power and attention.

@StevenBeschloss
Lex Luther? King pin. 🤔 Mr. Burns?
@StevenBeschloss Someone who agrees with those views? He didn’t get the nickname “Apartheid Clyde” for nothing.
@StevenBeschloss please don't talk about @newt like that, he's my friend
@StevenBeschloss what kind of man spends his time thinking about what kind of man another man is?
@StevenBeschloss a madman does those things and will eventually be his downfall
@StevenBeschloss people were set to abandon Twitter, but people with large accounts didn’t want to start over elsewhere, so they encouraged people to stay.
Allowing TFG back, whether he posts or not was my red line.
Those that remain are being encouraged, by those with large accounts, to remain in an abusive relationship.
@prodygy @StevenBeschloss Yeah all of a sudden all these huge accounts were following me, I was definitely too small potatoes before. #twittermigration Just say No to 🚫 #nazitwitter
