Pretty much feel the same. The dude is one wicked smart mf'er and he does nothing without gaining multiple angles.
Consider this. Elon Musk is a leading developer of AI. He has stated more than once that he needed a larger pool of human consciousness to pull from to advance his AI. Now he has the largest pool on the planet.
Also, he is balls deep in CureVac, he is developing a nuerolink chip that scares the hell out me, and he has multiple government military contracts that make him huge sums of money.
If he can fix Twitter then that is a win. I just wouldn't look at the guy as some kind of savior of all mankind.
The real shame is that every GOP controlled state isn't managed like Florida.
Treat the democrats like the unAmerican scum they are. Zero quarter.
“My help comes from the Lord, which made Heaven and earth.”
People don't think about farmers being technically advanced, but these days everything from the tractors to the milking machines are connected to the internet in some form or fashion. A well timed cyber attack could cripple the industry during the critical planting window.
He's playing above the field intellectually, including myself. He's a businessman and I admire his brashness. I wouldn't trust the sucker as far as I could throw one of his rockets or drive one of his cars.
He's trying to change the narrative on his way out. He took the Chinese/terrorist money and had to bring on their CEO to do their bidding. They ran the platform by proxy which is why they could do easily just control everything and why none of their accounts ever got a ban or even demotion. Jmo of course but I don't see any other explanation.
No matter how he felt at the end, he definitely does not deserve a reprieve for making that deal with the devil.
But don't worry....I'm sure he really learned his lesson and won't make the same mistakes and censor people on his other giant platform square payment systems. You know....like social credit scores or esg rating. Definitely not....
I will share this:
About a year ago, I started telling people that in order for the “good guys” to win a “civil war”, we would need the likes of Elon Musk and/or Peter Thiel to build a new Internet, etc., because with the Dems in power, our ability to communicate would be shut down.
In retrospect, I think I was onto something there.

Plus they'd portray him as gay.
I see it a bit different, you could call a lot of things a cesspool or pure cancer. Cable news is pure cancer...hell if you are prone to hyperbole you could say the internet it self is pure cancer. You ever been on this site after UK loses a big basketball or football game? Messages boards certainly can be a cesspool. Ultimately, if you know where to look, you can avoid the worst aspects of social media or cable news or whatever.
I can't watch cable news, it doesn't matter whether the person is liberal or conservative. It's just a bunch of noise, if you told me to try to watch a full hour of Hannity or Maddow I would tell you I would rather play Russian Roulette. I'm sure I could find times of the day I could watch it, but mostly I would have to avoid it.
I deleted my facebook account a few years back and was glad I did, so I certainly can see someone making the decision to get off social media, twitter included. I never tweet out anything on my account and unlike facebook, I know almost no one in my real life who is on twitter, everyone I know is on facebook.
For a political junkie, twitter is the best place to consume news in my opinion. I can get through all the big stories of the day and see what both liberal and conservative commentators are saying about it and do so in a way that doesn't consume very much time.
Twitter seems to be the go to social media for most reporters and media figures regardless of their political affiliation...so for the purposes of reading about politics, I find it the most useful place. I can see how most newspapers and political sites are spinning the news of the day and do so very quickly. If you are trying to argue with people, then yes twitter, facebook, the comment section of most articles, and message boards are mostly garbage.
$100 says that guy would definitely shoot his eye out.
Or, people like him are the reason Ralphie had to work so hard.
Pendulum is swinging. Overcome massive cheating in November, then pursue a comprehensive common sense moderate conservative plan
Do those things and actually show results and the gop could really stomp out this nonsense for decades
I'd have never guessed JC Penny had $8.6 billion.
I was going to say something similar, but I worried I would look stupid about business haha.
I didn't even know there were that many JC Pennys around anymore.
I thought it was doing about as good as Blockbuster.
My 95 year old Grandmama loves Pennys. Thats the one person I know that ever shops there. I do remember several years ago they hired away the guy responsible for designing Apple stores and it was a huge disaster. I thought that was the end of them
@55wildcat loves the ladies, but if Jerry Nadler shows up in drag showing off the Naddie Taddies at Taco Bell...55 will be front row eating a burrito and screaming with excitement.

Sears is the one that went down
