Is anyone surprised this is happening? He deliberately allowed white supremacists back on the platform. This was a logical next step.

Basically kids were stuck in a flooded cave and a bunch of people wanted to save them including Elon.

So he sent a team of Tesla engineers and a mini submarine. The submarine was never used and instead a professional diver saved the kids.

The diver called the submarine a PR stunt and suggested that Elon "stick his submarine where it hurts" (admittedly not very nice).

Elon responded with a series of tweets including one where he called the diver a "pedo guy" (even less nice)

More info about it and the later deflamation court case: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50694074

I'm still wondering if the X-guy was projecting his own tendencies.

[–] gabe@literature.cafe 4 points 1 year ago

Oh absolutely. With the way he simps for despots, I feel like it's a given theres dirt on him out there

I think it should be noted that the submarine was in no way practical. But they sent it anyways so they could say they tried.

It's pretty important context for the "PR" comment.

Personally restoring the account of someone posting graphic child abuse images! Good times.

Why would Musk ever stop doing that? He himself is probably an antisemite. Antisemitism isn’t uncommon in South Africa

Too bad it wasn't the badass Israeli counterterrorist group The Mossad. I'd like to see Elon Musk mess with the Zohan.

[–] Dantpool@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You don't mess with the Zohan.

Ain't it great how X is so confusing, that news articles have to remind you that it's Twitter?

I heard that Google was going to rename their company to J next month. Oh and Amazon is going to take C.
