When this is over, we're going to owe Musk a debt of gratitude for demonstrating not just the folly of relying on sociopath billionaires to give us places to speak and collaborate.

He's demonstrated the danger inherent in all centralized services where one person or company can control what we say and do.

@dangillmor The word Musk hasn't had such a strong connotation of sickening stench about it since the popularity of Jōvan Musk perfume and cologne in the 1970s.

@alcinoe I gave away my age, didn't I. That's not even a question LOL

All Musk needs is a silky polyester shirt unbuttoned to his navel worn with polyester pants and he's Mr. 1977. Yeesh, the reek.

@femme_mal I guess I did too!
@alcinoe LOL I couldn't tell, you could have been young enough to have a father who refused to give up his disco lifestyle, still sported his porn 'stache until 2000.
@femme_mal
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Yet I can't stop snickering.
@alcinoe
@femme_mal @alcinoe He is the Herb Tarlek of billionaires.

@roannaflowers @alcinoe Oh ye gods and goddesses, yes, Musk is definitely all that and a bag of chips.

Though Tarlek didn't need hair plugs to cover his big, bloated ego.

@femme_mal @dangillmor mastodon should allow to ban posts based on a word, I find it crazy that after you switch to mastodon you end up reading more about him than elsewhere
