Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

MODERATORS
buys entire social media platform
directs developers to boost his posts
exclusively posts deliberately manipulating and inflammatory content
“Don’t read so much in to it!” 🤡
Coming from Mr. Market Manipulation lmao.
It’s odd how the article describes the richest person on the planet, who is almost worth a trillion dollars, as a multi billionaire.
Also what the fuck who needs a trillion dollars.
I can't think of a reason anyone should be able to have even a billion dollars. Long before you get to that point, you are just playing numbers games to the detriment of everyone else participating in the economy.
How a wealth limit could ever be enacted practically is another matter, but I would support trying to solve it.
Oh wow.
Watch the claims of Autism come back (I believe he’s hinting at this by claiming he was being ‘extremely literal’), he’s tried the clownish ‘but gaiz, I was joking you shouldn’t take me so seriously’ bs we all remember from ‘edgelords’ online.
This is like tech bro’s prayer; it’s the Narcissist’s Prayer but with a ‘no one gets me’ smirk.
Musk tries so hard to be clever and debonair in his posts and usually comes off looking like a middle-school goof.
He's JP from Grandma's Boy.
He wishes people would compare him to JP. JP actually made things.
That's true. He's larping as JP.
That was my thought exactly, he's not a teenager, he shouldn't be like it's just a prank bro.. come on. What the fuck. Seriously?
So that’s why I haven’t seen any recent photos of him, he looks like a husk now.
A musk husk. Lol
An ELON husk!
It's a comfort, however small, to know that despite his extreme wealth, he's utterly miserable, and physically deteriorating before our eyes.
Ketamine, botched penis, children who hate him, DOGE fail, SpaceX fail, Tesla cut in half, Epstein, 2025 was a busy year.
He might have paper wealth, but this is a person who is leading a miserable life now on rapid decline and we all know it will not end well for him.
Musk is so poor.
The only thing he has is money.
Maybe he shouldn't have forced every single tweet of him to every account on his social media website then. Even the ones who actively blocked him still got his tweets.
isn't this about him buying the social media website. so like before he owned it?
It is. People are dumb though and don't read beyond the headline to be aware of whats actually going on.
No one reads the articles.
Why are people posting year old articles then? That happened like 3 years ago.
Sorry for looking at it through a up-to-date point of view.
At a point where you're still on Twitter... You have some sort of punishment kink.
And he rails on about white supremacy over 80 times in some months.
Maybe you should shut the fuck up then, Elon.
Multi-billionaire technology tycoon Elon Musk told a jury in California on Wednesday that stock market investors read too much into his social media posts.
That's because investors expect to take you seriously when you're handling their MONEY. If you're going act like an illiterate douche-canoe, like Poochie from "The Simpsons" then expect investors to be concerned.
"Officer, you're reading too much to the speed I was going. It wasn't even on my mind, I was simply pushing the gas pedal."
People like him disavow how much influence he has, willfully or not. Musk is the worst at it. He doesn't realize, or refuses to realize, how much his edgy tweets mean.
They wall want power but not the responsibility that comes with it.
he 100% knows what he's doing, he just doesn't believe words have meaning
Or that they bring responsibility.

And he has been right so far, rich people actually seem to have an absolute freedom of speech.
"I paid 40 billion as a joke, bro"
44 billion. 4 billion dollars is not a rounding error.
I think realistically he paid less than 40 billion since the saudis and others helped fund the buyout.
Maybe if the shit you say doesn't really matter, don't post it publicly to the world.
Not a great argument.
He has the nuance of the racist uncle you loathe seeing at Thanksgiving.
You're reading too much into my nazi salutes!
You're reading too much into all the promises I made to investors and clients which I then dropped
You're reading too much into what I'm saying because every single word coming out of my mouth is a lie
ahhh...he pulled a Fox-Carlson and Twitter is just entertainment.
His posts are short and stupid. There's not much to read into.
Surprised a motion wasn’t filed to have the case tried on Mars, ya know…where it would be a jury of his peers — Aliens that wouldn’t be prejudiced towards him (we think…?).
He would provide travel, but needs to get back to work on the flying thing.
The rich really want us to be illiterate.
He's right, though. Every time I read his tweets, all I see is "stupid nazi".
I wonder if the opposition has tried to sneak a picture of him doing a literal Nazi salute into their case. Relevance would be his lack of character.
So maybe you should ....I don't know.... pay media more to manipulate us in right direction
