Elon Musk: Tech Genius! Green Warrior! Biz King! Good Oligarch?

Source = Elon's Folly

Best of the Worst

Depending on the richest man in the world to restore basic human liberties is obviously not ideal. None of this is ideal, but we do not live in a world where anything is close to ideal at the moment and therefore must make do with the best options we have available. In a globally interconnected world increasingly controlled by meddling technocrats, a wealthy billionaire with the resources to counter their tyranny might just be the best out of a bunch of bad solutions.

All of this of course assumes that Elon Musk is a serious man.

While his tweets of late are amusing and expose the hypocrisies of establishment buffoons and even their crimes, he should spend more of his free time organizing a meaningful political, social, economic and psychological assault on Global Tyranny.

They will be coming for him with their own all-out assault on his character, companies, and wealth, so he might as well join the war against those that have already declared it on humanity. The fact that he hasn’t should alert us all to the likelihood that he is not a serious man for opposition efforts.

But Good Citizens can always ponder the possibilities and wonder and hope that they are wrong.

Speaking of Russel Brand.... :whistle:

How come, that Russel Brand kisses Yuval Harari; sociopath and favorite top advisor of 'WTF' Klaus Schab - while holding Harari's wicked book "Lessons for the 21th Century" in his hands ? Woopie-f'kn'doo... I mean seriously, what is this ?! Might indeed be another wolf in sheep's clothing. It also reminds me of our time, in which "many false prophets will rise".

It was pretty funny to watch/listen to Musk blow smoke, to see him peddle something like screen memories as if they fit to reality - and oh the green math is about as silly as it gets (that goes the same for everyone peddling it), which is still believed by the masses in some type of a weird savior complex created solution. Yes, it had become a religion.

Now, in a world much reduced in population, that may hold the real deep dreams of people like Musk and all that support him, support his fellow WEF types who speak in nothing but 'you will own nothing' code and embrace AI with a wink and a nod (e.g. they have plans for most that don't include most in their new dream world).

On the peripheral, one might think this whole green-speak is simply amazing in how, in just a few decades, the lie has been weaved into a faux truth. An upside down truth that helps accomplish goals laid down like crumbs for humanity to follow from long ago. To blindly drive people to it with their full conviction that it is the right thing to do and it cannot be questioned. Thus, it is really diabolical in scope, and you have to give these pathological powers credit at playing at all the broad pieces, which does not diminish the painful effects.

Saint Musk.

Elon Musk’s Twitter Acquisition Has Become Part Of The US Culture War

1 in 10 users believe Twitter content moderation practices are too strict
www.forbes.com www.forbes.com
May 31, 2022,02:46pm EDT
We’re still several months away from the anticipated close date of Elon Musk’s Twitter acquisition – Whether it’s on again or off again depends on the day. A lot has happened in just the 5 weeks since the deal was announced and we anticipate more will happen between now and October. But rest assured: We can count on the drama about Twitter to continue to publicly play out on Twitter. Amidst all this, where do consumers stand?

One in Four US Conservative Males Think Elon Musk Will Make Twitter Better

Forrester just received the results from its May 2022 Consumer Energy Index And Retail Pulse Survey of 1,556 online adults in the US, UK, and France – of which 335 use Twitter. More Twitter users in the US (23%) versus the UK (14%) and France (11%) indicate that Elon Musk will make Twitter better. And when we segment responses for all online adults in the US by gender and by political affiliation, we see a conservative male skew: Twenty-three percent of US males versus 11% of US females believe Elon Musk will make Twitter better. And a quarter (25%) of conservative US online adults believe the same (versus 11% liberals).

One In Ten Users Believe Twitter Content Moderation Practices Are Too Strict

In April, we blogged that Elon’s battle over free speech is a fight against content moderation. Yet our data indicates that roughly 10% of Twitter users in the US feel that content moderation practices on Twitter around hate speech and misinformation are too strict and should be loosened. To the contrary, as my colleague Kelsey Chickering points out, the spread of disinformation has become a systemic problem and more needs to be done to curb it, else Twitter risks alienating revenue-providing advertisers. But could Twitter mitigate any revenue shortfalls by accelerating its subscription model?

A Twitter Subscription-Only Service Is A Hard Sell

One of the reasons Twitter Blue hasn’t gained much traction since it launched comes down to cost versus benefit. Users simply aren’t getting material value for a $2.99 monthly subscription fee. Our data shows that 5% or fewer current Twitter users subscribe to Twitter Blue. So, whether Elon Musk can kickstart Twitter’s subscription service or not will depend on offering substantially more value to justify a premium price point.

An ad-free experience, by itself, isn’t going to tip the scales since ads on Twitter are far less intrusive as compared to other ad formats on other platforms. Things like exclusivity, status, and access begin to move the needle but nonetheless it will be a hard sell: Fewer than 10% of Twitter users indicate that Twitter should become an entirely subscription-based service with no ads.

Elon Musk Slams Twitter's "Bias Against Half The Country" & Alleged Inaction On Death Threats To Conservative User | ZeroHedge

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero
www.zerohedge.com www.zerohedge.com
Authored by Gary Bai via The Epoch Times,

The world’s richest person is slamming Twitter’s “bias against half the country” and demanding answers after Twitter allegedly did not remove accounts of users who made death threats against a conservative user.

“A platform cannot be considered inclusive or fair if it is biased against half the country,” Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk wrote on June 13, in response to another Twitter user’s post on the same day saying, “On a just platform, everyone would be treated equally. As it is, you can be banned [on Twitter] for merely criticizing (not even threatening) woke progressives, but they can send conservatives death threats without any repercussions.”

https://twitter.com/x/status/1536554416593313792

Musk’s comments came after a dozen Twitter users allegedly directed death threats against Twitter user Libs of TikTok—short for Libertarians of TikTok

“I have now received about a dozen death threats after radical leftists accused me of being a domestic terrorist extremist,” Twitter user Libs of TikTok wrote. “Twitter has not removed any of the accounts of those who sent the threats.”

In reply to the post, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tagged Twitter and asked, “Why?”

https://twitter.com/x/status/1536491031377719301

Libs of Tiktok, a Twitter page with more than 1.2 million followers and operated by Chaya Raichik, regularly posts content criticizing liberal, left-wing, and LGBTQ events and ideas.

For example, Libs of Tiktok wrote in a post on June 13, “A children’s hospital in Nebraska is co-hosting a children’s pride event. They advertise there will be a booth where attendees can make an appointment for ‘gender affirming care’ such as puberty blockers.@ChildrensOmaha receives millions in funding.”

https://twitter.com/x/status/1536455155457171457

Raichik’s stance has drawn hostility from some on the left, including a Twitter user with the handle “@thisisironicfr” who claimed to have sent her a pipe bomb on June 13.

I just finished reading this SOTT article on Musk, and I suspect he’s rather “fed up with millennials” from some of his previous comments, and issues close to home.

Cheers to Elon Musk for finally saying 'no' to whiny, entitled millennial babies -- Sott.net

A few days ago, employees of spaceflight company SpaceX released an open letter criticizing their CEO Elon Musk. Less than 48 hours later, at least five employees who orchestrated the letter were fired. Good. The dam is breaking. The "listen to...

One of his first born “Muskies” one of the twin boys, born during his marriage to Canadian author Justine Wilson, from 2000 until they divorced in 2008 doesn’t want to be a boy anymore.

Apparently papers filed this past April by Xavier Alexander Musk, who is now 18-years-old, has asked to be recognised as female and have the name Vivian Jenna Wilson.

The petition for both a name change and a new birth certificate was filed with the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Santa Monica.
Quoted as having stated: “she no longer wants to "be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form".

Musk cancels Twitter deal
Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk has canceled his previously agreed $44 billion deal to buy Twitter, accusing the social media company of “material breach of multiple provisions” of the merger agreement in a letter on Friday evening.

...
“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” Musk said in a statement announcing the purchase, vowing to improve the platform by “defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans.”

By mid-May, however, the deal was on hold as Musk announced suspicious about Twitter’s official estimate that only 5% of the 230 million daily users were spam accounts, as stated in federal filings. The letter from his attorneys claims the actual number is “substantially higher” and that this has a bearing on the bottom line, since approximately 90% of Twitter’s revenue comes from advertising.

Musk had offered to buy out Twitter at $54.20 a share. The company’s stock was trading around $37 on Friday, crashing below $34 after the announcement that the deal was off.

Twitter’s fate may end up being resolved in court, as the company is expected to sue Musk and claim that he waived his rights by signing the April 25 merger agreement, compelling him to finalize the buyout at the previously agreed price.

Another interesting article about Musk that summarizes pretty well the side that is aligned with the establishment, and that got pretty much ignored with the whole Twitter/Free Speech debacle:

Elon Musk is not a renegade outsider - he's a massive Pentagon contractor -- Sott.net

Elon Musk's proposed takeover of Twitter has ruffled many feathers among professional commentators. "Musk is the wrong leader for Twitter's vital mission," read one Bloomberg headline. The network also insisted, "Nothing in the Tesla CEO's track...

Some highlights:

Musk, whose estimated $230 billion fortune is more than twice the gross domestic product of Ukraine, has garnered a great deal of positive publicity for donating thousands of Starlink terminals to the country, helping its people come back online after fighting downed the internet in much of the country. Starlink is an internet service allowing those with terminals to connect to one of over 2,400 small satellites in low Earth orbit. Many of these satellites were launched by Musk's SpaceX technologies company.

However, it soon transpired that there is far more than meets the eye with Musk's extraordinary "donation." In fact, the U.S. government quietly paid SpaceX top dollar to send their inventory to the warzone. USAID - a government anti-insurgency agency that has regularly functioned as a regime-change organization - is known to have put up the cash to purchase and deliver at least 1,330 of the terminals.

Musk's company has been awarded billions of dollars in contracts to launch spy satellites for espionage, drone warfare and other military uses. For example, in 2018, SpaceX was chosen to blast a $500 million Lockheed Martin GPS system into orbit. While Air Force spokesmen played up the civilian benefits of the launch, such as increased accuracy for GPS devices, it is clear that these devices play a key role in global surveillance and ongoing drone wars. SpaceX has also won contracts with the Air Force to deliver its command satellite into orbit, with the Space Development Agency to send tracking devices into space, and with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) to launch its spy satellites. These satellites are used by all of the "big five" surveillance agencies, including the CIA and the NSA
