Elon Musk Begs Advertisers to Return as Twitter's Revenue Plunges - Lemmy.World

"I do shoot myself in the foot from time to time, but at least you know it is genuine, not from the PR department”

Yeah we know. He’s genuinely a white supremacist, misogynist, queerphobe piece of shit. A PR department doesn’t give a fuck about any of that, but at least they’d be savvy enough to pretend like they give a damn in order to make money.

misogynist, queerphobe? I never heard him say things like that. Where have you?
On twitter.com presumably

A Reminder of Just Some of the Terrible Things Elon Musk Has Said and Done

From regularly attacking his perceived enemies to running a company accused of rampant racism and sexism, it’s not hard to see why so many people are up in arms about him taking over Twitter.

Vanity Fair

idk man, in the article I find what he said is: -The “sexist joke” by saying “TITS” is just a dumb joke, not “misogynistic”. -The “Pronouns suck” comment, is weird and just vague, and not necessarily queerphobic. Maybe he just doesn’t like changing the standard language much. It doesn’t necessarily say he will purposely use the wrong pronoun on people, in practice. Too vague to work with. -Calling Warren “Karren Warren” and saying “You remind me of when I was a kid and my friend’s angry Mom would just randomly yell at everyone for no reason”. I guess maybe this can be considered misogynistic, but I’d by far attribute this to just “being rude”, because he just insults her for her actions. Just because this insult is a comparison to another woman that acted hysterically, does not make it misogynistic. Yes, the “Karen” is generally a sex-specific insult, but again, this can also be taken as just an insult in general.

Yeah sure there could be more examples, but going from the link you posted, there is barely anything to call him misogynistic, let alone. queerphobic. I don’t care who he is, I’d have said this to anyone who said these things.

He’s literally using the wrong pronouns and name for his transgender daughter. He’s literally said he agrees with JK Rowling.

You know how after a certain time has passed it’s no longer a spoiler to talk about how Vader is Luke’s father? Well, there’s certain stuff that’s so obvious and widely known that people will stop believing that you don’t know about it and will assume you’re trolling.The fact that you keep insisting that you haven’t seen evidence of him being queerphobe is on you at this point, imo.

I wholeheartedly agree, it’s just that I haven’t seen it, and that doesn’t mean he is NOT queerphobic. I was simply asking questions. If you don’t like that, what can I do about that?
