No "people" skills, it isn't "pottery Barn" if you break it after you buy it.
No, it's arrogance being stupid.

As expected Elon Musk reinstates Trump's Twitter account.

“The people have spoken, Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,”

And Trump says, Pox On You. I am busy lying on Truth.

Now Forbes is reporting that more layoffs are planned for Monday.

Like TFG, EM reportedly thrives on chaos with other folks' trust.

Elon Musk just posted this on Twitter:

and this:


Quite an ingenious strategy for appealing to advertisers.

Looks like he's gotten into the Peruvian Pink in a big way.

A scathing rebuke from musician Jack White (I am a huge fan).

“So you gave trump his twitter platform back. Absolutely disgusting, Elon. That is officially an asshole move.
Why dont you be truthful? Tell it like it is; people like you and Joe Rogan (who gives platforms to liars
like alex jones etc.); you come into a ton of money, see the tax bill, despise paying your fair share, and then
think moving to Texas and supporting whatever republican you can is going to help you keep more of your
money. (How else could trump possibly interest you?) You intend to give platforms to known liars and wash your hands
like pontius pilate and claim no responsibility? trump was removed from twitter because he incited
violence multiple times, people died and were injured as a result of his lies and his ego,
(let alone what his coup did to attempt to destroy democracy and our Capitol). And how about the division
and the families broken apart from his rhetoric and what it did to this country?
That’s not “free speech” or “what the poll decided” or whatever nonsense you’re claiming it to be;
this is straight up you trying to help a fascist have a platform so you can eventually get your tax breaks.
I mean, how many more billions do you need that you have to risk democracy itself to obtain it?

You did a lot of amazing things with Tesla, Elon, and you deserve a lot of compliments in that department
(i personally supported the hell out of that venture), but you've gone too far and are now using your power
to promote horrible, violence inducing liars, who are taking the country and the world backwards and
endangering the democracy that made you rich and successful in the first place. I am a believer in free speech,
but for example i’m not about to let the KKK hold a rally at our record label's performance stage. That’s one of the
platforms we control and have a say in, it’s not town square operated by the government. And if i owned a gas station,
i wouldn’t be selling the KKK gasoline to burn crosses either and then wash my hands as if i didn’t help facilitate hatred.

You took on a big responsibility with your purchase, and “free speech” isn’t some umbrella that protects you from that.

I don't think EM can hear him. He's too busy...

Scathing, but very reasonable too!
