Musk knows that he needs to say/do outrageous things to keep receiving either attention on twitter or free press. He strives to be relevant to those who, for some reason, take him seriously. He's a pathological liar willing to say whatever ridiculous thing makes him appear as relevant.

exactly this. what a sad and incompetent sack of shit he is.
pleased to see mastodon continuing to grow, because i'm so happy with the content i see on there. i actually enjoy browsing the "explore" tab because unlike twitter, it's not all drama bait for the sake of driving up engagement statistics to please a board of shareholders. it's just real people posting cute tidbits about their personal lives

Last I checked Mastodon was shrinking tho? Not talkign abotu total accs, but activity and site visits

what's the slang term? "scissas?"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

scissors is our word, but you can say scissa

Because he's such a free speech absolutist.

Dude doesn’t even own twitter. Saudi princes and the Qatar government have a much bigger share that he does. This is all about controlling mass media.

Other parties (including the ones you mentioned) have sizable stakes in twitter, but they are much smaller than Elon's stake, not the other way around. (Remember, it sold for $44B, you can divide that by the numbers in the article by that to see how much each investor mentioned owns).

Cis- is just a prefix from latin meaning "on the same side"... the vatican should sue Twitter.

Chemist So that’s why there’s a difference between cis-but-2-ene and trans-but-2-ene.

Wait why am I being banned??

Also: Man is this that same Twitter place that banged the gong on free speech?

They're called fascists. They'll bang on and on about how your rights are being taken away so you should empower them to protect you. Then, the second you do, they'll be the first to take away the rights you thought you were protecting.

Tropic Thunder is so funny!!!

If we could find a way to monetize Musk's fragility, we could make a fortune.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What a clown 🤡

Really wish people would stop giving him a megaphone

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Society is addicted to ragebait. And bored rich assholes are addicted to attention. It’s perfect.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

This will be interesting, haha.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

If it keeps people talking and interacting on twitter its beneficial for him. getting people angry is the easiest way to do this

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

what about the term snowflake?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Awesome, Mastodon needs some more growth too. The worse Musk makes Twitter, the faster we can get it‘s death over with and move on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

“The words ‘cis’ or ‘cisgender’ are considered slurs on this platform,” Musk posted in response to a man who claimed to have been harassed by the term used perjoratively.

Haha what?
