You mean to tell me rich man is a raving self-righteous hypocrite?
I still got twitter installed only phone because of some funny parody accounts that I love.
However, twitter keeps pushing Elon Musk tweets, and each and every one of em is an "amazing!" Reply to right wing nut job conspiracy level bullshit posts
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Elon Musk‘s erratic posting on X, formerly Twitter, has come back to haunt him once again as a 22-year-old Jewish man pursues a defamation case over tweets in which the tech mogul baselessly suggested the recent college graduate was an undercover federal agent posing as a neo-Nazi during a street fight between far-right groups.
Musk’s excruciating March 27 deposition in the matter, which a judge ordered released to the public over the objections of the CEO’s lawyer, reveals the extent to which he has continually sabotaged both himself and the social media platform he owns.
Last June, as members of the fascist Proud Boys gang brawled with the Rose City Nationalists, a neo-Nazi organization of the Pacific Northwest, at an LGBTQ pride event that both sought to disrupt, several RCN participants were unmasked.
The Instagram post described Brody as a political science major who wanted to work in government after graduation, details that extremists used to implicate him in a supposed plot by federal agencies to stage a violent clash between hard-right groups.
The profile, @Ermnmusk, came to light a year ago as a probable secret Musk account because he tweeted an image showing himself logged into it, and Motherboard then reported on a number of indications that it was likely his.
Other strange revelations in the interview included Musk’s claims that he was unaware of Brody seeking a retraction of the false flag posts in order to clear his name (at the time, the college grad had made a viral Instagram video refuting the conspiracy theory and asking for people to leave his family alone), that what he tweets out to millions of followers isn’t always seen by that many people, and that he doesn’t believe Brody “has been meaningfully harmed by this,” because it is “rare” for media attacks to have “a meaningful negative impact” on their targets.
The original article contains 1,458 words, the summary contains 309 words. Saved 79%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Did he admit to owning the one that was calling him a good father?
Stop posting this asscunt.
Elon musk is the worst. We should write and talk about him constantly, that will show him.
Exactly, we should. This way, more people will see him for what he is and stop idolizing him
Worked well against Trump... Surely it will work again.
Like the saying goes: "Bad publicity is such a thing"; or something like that...
I get that you're like 12 or something but he's had publicity his entire life, and both good and elons reputations only are getting worse
Their reputations literally make no difference to their means or power. Have you been asleep for the last 20 years? Donald Trump has been getting shit on constantly for decades and people still fork over millions to keep him afloat. Calling people names (no 12 year olds are using lemmy btw) doesn't change the fact that constantly infecting our eyes and ears with these assholes only helps them.
There's literally no proof of that either
"nuh uh" solid argument
"prove it" is a solid reply actually
"Having fixed our faith in a father-figure [...] we must keep it fixed until inexcusable fault (what what fault of a father, a mother, a wife, is inexcusable?) crushes it at once and completely. This figure represents our own best selves; it is what we ourselves want to be and, through identification, are. To abandon it for anything less than crushing evidence of inexcusable fault is self-incrimination, and of one's best, unrealized self."

People haven't changed much.
Worked for every bad guy in history
It's a good idea to allow idiots to make fools of themselves so that other idiots won't think they are great.
Counterpoint: Biden is struggling against Trump in the polls
Counter counterpoint: the only poll that matters is the election
People say that then they say that it's not that then they say that it is that again.
Point is he isn't a billion points ahead of him, and decades of negative press made Trump no less successful.
