Too many people are eager to compare people to Hitler/Nazi's it becomes ridiculous. If you can’t make an distinction between Hitler and Musk it’s your problem. I don’t view Musk as a Hitler type so I don’t even bother with the kind of thinking you show here. Step up, you can read a few books by the historians instead. The two historians talking were Peter Englund and Antony Veevor. They’ve done a lot of research and gave a perfect example usable in discussions like this. I might have agreed with you if it was my own opinion and I was stupid as feck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t mention Nazis at all. Surely Musk’s management style is dictatorial - it’s not like he’s managing Twitter by committee after all. I didn't say he in particular did in this case. But we see this quite often on the internet, including at times in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why bother about who compares with Hitler/nazis then? If I see someone comparing with them I agree or disagree and discuss the topic. Not that anyone used Hitler or nazis to compare with.

Well, talk about micromanaging coupled with desperation instead. Don’t get stuck on names that are just names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Are Musk's comments about how great Twitter is doing similar to what Trump would say about some things; a gross exaggeration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not people known for mass murder. Alternatively you could just point out the micromanagement. No need to bring those two into it.

Funny story about this. one of the now fired/released engineers indicated that without constant maintenance and a watchful eye, that bots would be able to flood twitter without any sort of security protocols in place to stop them. So in theory this might actually be true 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure… Is this political or is it psychology? I don’t want to be part of locki g the thread again. For me it’s psychology. Trump and Musk are intelligent and often articulate. At least Trump copies Goebbels psychology strategy. I know too little about Musk. Musk looks a bit insecure similar to Trump before Trump went all in.

Which is fair. For all he was he was an amazing public speaker. For example Hitler would emphasize things 3 times...especially the lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 The irony of someone trying to micro manage, what is allowed to be used in a conversation, about micromanaging; has not escaped me. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 One thing I have read is that many head offices have a high percentage of psychopaths. I am positive that I have worked with a few as the amount is about 12% in corporate leadership when psychopaths only make up 1.2% of the population. I mean....the way Elon acts, if the shoe fits... However, I'm not comparing him to Dahmer or Bundy in case anyone gets upset. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
