The US Government must stop any and all association with Elon Musk — in particular, SpaceX. Impulse Control Disorder has no place in space travel. Musk is a profound national security risk.
@[email protected] @jimstewartson I'm not certain, but an Apartheid-era descendent of Boers whose fortune is built upon an industry that killed countless people doesn't get the benefit of the doubt from me. Worse, that tweet has messianic undertones & his sycophants would absolutely do anything to please him. It's Trumpian to a fault & honestly, rather unnerving.

ICYMI, the only reason #QElon has #SpaceX is because of Erik Prince and Putin’s favorite congressman Dana Rohrabacher who introduced legislation to allow private space exploration. QElon then campaigned for Rohrabacher all the time. 🤔

Recall QElon negotiated to give Crimea to Putin. Now he’s running a #Wikileaks / #Pizzagate / #QAnon psyop with Kremlin propagandist Matt Taibbi.

It’s almost like there’s a pattern here.

MindWar: The Psychological War on Democracy

#QElon is in a rich white guy cult called “longtermism” which means he believes that he knows what “must be done for the future of civilization.”

The corollary to this delusion is that he thinks the rest of us are not only too dumb to understand “the future” but that we are actually in the way.

He knows full well the destruction he is wreaking but like all abusers say, it’s “for our own good.” This is a sick, dangerous man.

This is another way to say “I’m an arrogant asshole”

Trump wouldn’t come back to Twitter so Elon decided to play the role himself
NUMEROUS INBOUND REQUESTS

This “Elon is free to do what he wants on Twitter, and you’re free to move elsewhere” is a very american take.

Elon must comply with European laws and regulations in data protection, anti-trust, anti-discrimination, etc or the EU will seize his property to enforce fines or make Twitter unavailable for EU.

If you enjoy someone's post on #Mastodon go ahead and click the star. If someone tells you that's meaningless because there's no #algorithm, ignore them. Sure, boost the post too if you want others to also see the post, but don't think telling someone you like what they posted is somehow unimportant. In real life I don't tell someone, "good job," or "well said," or "I love that," for the sake of some algorithm, I do it because I'm human and they are too. It's fundamental to being truly social.

Brace.

This is #Twitter now..

No words..

Every #TwitterMigration is followed by a leveling off. No matter what the CEO is doing (currently embracing COVID conspiracy theories and calling for Fauci to be prosecuted), many folks will return to $8chan to get their fix.

That's to be expected, and it's good for network health over here -- admins, developers, moderators, and regular users need time to adapt to growth.

If you like what we're building here, stick around, and help more folks find a home here. And get ready for the next wave.
