Tesla stock suffers even further collapse.

'Owning the libs' is going soooo well. Not only has Musk's actions cost him value on Twitter, its now cost him many times the total value of Twitter because the reputational damage has been so contagious that his day job has been crippled by the side-hustle. The reason why Musk was the richest man in the world was because of the value of Tesla stock. That value was predicated on future earnings based on markets betting that Tesla was set to become the market leader in electronic cars. This bet was based on the reputation of Musk as a genius innovator CEO. Not only is he distracted from the day job, but people have come to the painful realisatiobthat Musk's genius is well below his prior aptitude for self-promotion. The emperor has no clothes. 😂

He made the colossal error of exposing how Twitter is being manipulated by the Feds for narrative control and now he is being methodically destroyed.

@SumKindaMunster No.

That the Feds are knee-deep in Twitter is not a surprise to me. I really don't care about Hunter's laptop but it is an outright good thing that the US secret service links have been confirmed. That is not why he is having problems though.

The deep state is not actually involved in taking Twitter down but then they don't have to be. They just sat back laughing like everyone else.

@Burnley123 You don't care that a story that could have changed the trajectory of the 2020 election was suppressed by a conspiracy of tech, media and government officials?

If it went the other way and something like this came out about Trump's family, would you say the same thing?
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@SumKindaMunster Hunter's d*** picks would not have changed that result. I read through Taibi's thread and he bigs it up very well but the actual quotes just reveal a debate about policy with different execs having different opinions. It's not even a conspiracy.

FWIW, they should not have blocked the story because they made a policy error. This amounts to little though.

@Burnley123 So you didn't answer my question. If the situation was reversed, and it was Trump's son whose laptop was found with compromising information about selling Trump's influence to China and Ukraine would you feel the same?

It's not even a conspiracy.


It's a conspiracy in that information was suppressed amongst high levels with coordination between Twitter, the Feds, and the media. They all agreed that the laptop was not relevant for no good reason. Again, if it was Trump would you feel the same?

Yes

They had a debate on whether it was disinformation. Given that the US right has trumpeted Benghazi, Hillary emails, Pizzaate, an election that was not stolen and so much more, it must be a tough thing to moderate, When so much bullshit gets put forward, why expect the benefit of the doubt?

@Burnley123 So you are saying because the right wing promotes misinformation, its ok they erred on the side of caution?
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@SumKindaMunster Yes. Well said.

TBF, I think that they were wrong to block the story but I think that this decision was made in an attempt to act in good faith. I also think that the Trumpists high ground on this is in the cellar.

@SumKindaMunster Let's be clear, his mistake was buying a company for three times its value, firing half of the workforce and driving away a further quarter of the workforce, completely fucking up the verification system, and then claiming 'free speech' while using bans to aggressively punish critics and his staff because he doesn't want free speech, he just wants to post about how he got dumped for a trans woman without being made fun of.

Advertisers are now fleeing twitter because of the volatility and spikes in racism, there's barely any staff left, and his ideas for it are all bad. Twitter was never profitable and now it is unprofitable with tens of billions of debt to pay down.

He's now been exposed as an idiot and a fraud, which he was ten years ago when the liberals thought he was going to save the environment with his stupid fucking cars and his worse ideas like the Boring Company. Everyone is now waking up to the fact Tesla is a shell company that barely makes a product and was a scam from the beginning. His empire is now crumbling and it's -hilarious-.

Trying to claim this is some sort of hit job from the feds because he exposed their manipulation is idiotic and beneath you. The President asking twitter to stop posting his failson's dick everywhere is not some kind of state interference literally anyone would do that in Biden's position.

@CountScrofula funny how all at once banning people from twitter is so terrible🤦‍♂️
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
@Virgo79 ... uh, do you understand that there can be different reasons for banning people, and differing opinions on if those reasons are good or bad?

Let's be clear. No.

Those are the things that are being used to justify his expulsion from the club. But really its because he bought up the left wing propaganda network, exposed it, and destroyed its reputation. That's what everyone is pissy about, their little clubhouse was infiltrated by the brutes at Delta house and everybody found out they are just as biased and corrupt as anyone else.

Yup, let's all laugh at the idiot now, way to express your two minutes hate. Big brother is pleased.

Oh no, the guy who consistently and regularly misjudges me is cross again about my opinion. 🙄

Well first of all its more than that and you know it. I don't care about his dick pics, but I would like to know what he promised the Ukrainians considering we are at Russia's doorstep and they are threatening nuclear retaliation.
