the phrasing of the headline is so awkward too.

Isn’t the only reason Elon is doing this, is because his tweets massively affect how many morons inflate his stock price.

Seriously I doubt any of this free speach malarkey is what he cares about, just protecting the only thing that keeps his company afloat.

It would be funny to see testla dominate the automative industry not by making cars or anything useful, but by controlling twitter, and making sure he stays viral…

The lords of industry and finance are attracted to media properties like flies to shit. Bezos bought up the Washington Post. Twitter seems fitting for Elon.

Virtually the same thing, I hadn’t thought about it but it’s kinda obvious in retrospect

Tesla was flirting with bankruptcy not that long ago. So much of the industry is predicated on subsidies and tax credits that the Big Three are ultimately working to internalize (re: the Ford Lightning, the Chevy Bolt).

Then there’s a bunch of money propping his firm up that is purely a product of Fed cheap lending.

All the Twitter in the world won’t save Musk once the tide turns.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
