“I’m not gonna suppress my views to help the stock price.”

Amazing that the CEO of a public company said that. The raw hubris — as if moderating your own views in a work setting is somehow strange or unusual, even when it’s *not* about an issue that’s extremely important to a lot of people.

I gotta write a book or something once all this is over so future archeologists can understand what happened here.

@coloradotravis Ok so I've successfully avoided twatter for 2 days and have no idea what you are talking about. what did Lord Elmo say now?

@eigenman

I’m proud of you and don’t want to help you fall off the wagon.

@coloradotravis LMAO. But now I have to look. Like Pippin and the palantíri . 😂
@eigenman so basically a Tesla customer and shareholder who has a trans kid came on and (very respectfully) asked if he would stop being a fuckface to trans people and he was like, “no” (as roughly paraphrased in the apex tweet)
@coloradotravis Ahh I see. Yeah I'm glad I don't go there much anymore then.

@eigenman

Imagine if 4chan was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

It’s basically that.

@coloradotravis I had to look him up and now I get it. But yeah that fits. I did sneak over there a bit today just to see what Walter Deemer and Helene Meisler were posting about the market. I managed to get in and out quickly without being seen or more accurately without seeing anything. More time on Reddit now where I get better older news. And here has been great. Ppl are much more open and wittier it seems. I'm addicted to Fediverse now
@coloradotravis Listening to the simps cut off the parent to protect Musk from having to actually respond was somehow even more disgusting than his initial response to me.
@coloradotravis there has to be a shareholders’ derivative claim against the board for keeping him employed after this. Complete breach of their fiduciary duties.
@coloradotravis maybe I’m a cynic but it doesn’t strike me as particularly unusual except for the megaphones through which today’s sociopaths broadcast their…peculiarities. If they remade Trading Places today - well first it would be completed defanged and suck - but more pertinently, the Duke Brothers would be replaced by an Elon stand-in. “Turn those tweets back on! Turn those tweets back on!”
