So "X" - nothing to see here. Elon's in control - Part XXX **Threadbans in OP**

That was poorly worded (suprise) as tons of people complaint today about it. It means 2500 blue tick followers.
On the plus side, you can hide your newly gained free blue tick, for free! The shame of it!

In hind sight that should have been a massive red flag, as we've seen with QAnon etc. it's a special type of person that casually accuses others of being a pedophile.

In other Musk news, he recently had to sit for a deposition because someone is suing him for damages because Musk falsly suggested a 22 year old Jewish guy was part of a Neo-Nazi brawl that was captured on film.

Not only did he have no real recollection of it and believes he should be able to do it anyway because FREE SPEECH, but he also had to admit he used a fake Twitter account for his own son and would roleplay as his son.

Although the account is not mentioned by name in the deposition transcript, Monday’s court filing contained an exhibit of the @ErmnMusk account that was shown to Musk during his testimony.

Asked about the account during the deposition by attorney Mark Bankston, who is representing Brody, Musk confirmed it was his but dismissed it as a “test account.”

“No, I would not use this account,” Musk testified. “It was just used for — for testing.”

Musk repeated the claim later in his testimony.

“I briefly used this account as a test account,” he said.

In 2022, Musk used the account while interacting with Michael Saylor, the executive chairman of MicroStrategy and a Bitcoin promoter, and Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky.

Musk asked Saylor, “Do you like Japanese girls?” in one post and said the following to Chesky in another: “I wish I was old enough to go to nightclubs. They sound so fun.”

In an April 2023 post on the account, Musk wrote, “I will finally turn 3 on May 4th!” Musk and Grimes’ son, X Æ A-12, was born on May 4, 2020.

In Monday’s court filing, Bankston alleged that Musk deleted the account in February, on the same day as the court’s discovery order. The posts can still be seen across internet archive websites.

On a mental level, there's just so much wrong with Musk. I know he has autism or Asperger's or whatever the hell it's called these days, but there's something deeper at fault too. Certainly not all the cylinders are firing with this guy. His casual disregarding nature says there's more going on than just being rich and not going a damn.

There comes a point when even loaded, arrogant, wankers sit back and say to themselves, "Jesus, what the hell am I doing?"

Pretty sure one of the main principles of Libertarianism is to say that people should donate to charity rather than paying the government in taxes, while actually just keeping your money for yourself.

….

Outsourcing the AI work to people in cheaper labour markets was Amazon's idea first!

Tesla laid off 15000 people two days ago and today the board is asking shareholders to approve Elons 56 billion pay deal that was struck down earlier this year by a judge

They have never justified the payment which is one of the reasons the delaware judge invalidated it.

It really reads like the board are just begging the shareholders seemingly under the worry that elon might leave if they don't give this to him….. oh no whatever will they do without him.

I also read they haven't maintained the requirements that were needed to approve the payment which was 650 billion market cap, they did achieve this and got to over 1 trillion but have since dropped to 450 ish due in large part to….. elon
