Has this guy given up at Tesla and Spacex to devote all his time to Twitter and conspiracy crap?

 

 

 

 

Great, now there's some more talking points that the Tinfoil hat crowd are going to use as proof that there was a conspiracy, even though they have no actual evidence of said conspiracy.

Just imagine a software engineer working for Twitter. Go figure…

No, but neither is he shooting the "idea" down, which is what you would expect from a so-called genius.

 

I'm not a genius, but I certainly understand that blaming a software engineer for content moderation, is like blaming the guy who helped build the school for the curriculum....

The people responsible for Musk tweets are not genius in any way. 

So I assume Musk hires a group responsible for tweeting so he can go on doing what he knows instead of barking of in awkward social experiments he fails at.

One would think that between Spacex/Tesla and Twitter that his hours would be full. When he takes time to respond to these kind of things he is giving them air and effectively breathing life into them. Where he chooses to spend his time does reveal his tendencies, no?

Personally I think it's the people making threads that are effectively mountains out of mole hills that are breathing life into them.

That's a misrepresentation of what I said and you know that.

I don’t know, but it’s kind of interesting that this Musk guy gets so many CDC posters all riled up.  Just cancel Twitter and forget about the guy, no!  Why worry about him?  Sorry, but to old Alfer this Musk worrying is strange.

Agreed, there's a concerning amount of time being spent by people on Musk/Twitter when they don't even use the platform.

So, you believe that Musk doesn't compose his own tweets? :huh:

 

I disagree....

Sorry if I misrepresented you and that was not my intention.

 

I’m unsure then of who you are saying is making a mountain out of the molehill? People are reacting to Musk’s reaction to a Charlie Kirk conspiracy theory as you are reacting to me posting it. Isn’t that what social media and discussion threads revolve around? Mountain and molehill is like chicken and egg, where does it start.

 

I also posted Musk’s re-tweet of an unfounded allegation that the P Pelosi attack was nothing more than a drunken Pelosi having a homosexual tryst gone wrong. This is the kind of stuff he re-tweets, likes, and amplifies. Surely you don’t believe that when people call him out on this stuff, like him calling the rescuer a pedo, are making mountains out of molehills? As long as he owns the platform and makes this his schtick I’ll keep posting it.

 

Just read your last post and wonder why you think discussing this is concerning? Frankly I find ignoring it more concerning.

Well, I wouldn’t do that if I run a fair few large companies.

 

It’s quite dumb to do that when almost every fairly intelligent can string together a fairly intelligent amusable comment in such few words. 
But Musk can be one of those that is a genius in some areas and dumb as feck in others.
