Not a typo, being careless composing. Thank you and I have edited my post.

The Redpilling of Elon Musk Isn’t Funny
Because he isn’t either.

Musk is busy fucking up Twitter with arrogant incompetence and pointed political wingnut activism while his other worthy enterprises go ignored.
Time to sell Tesla and SpaceX shares before his shit explodes in his smirking face.

[QUOTE=finnbow;413894]Look at the kind of shit Musk is posting now on Twitter. Deranged feckin' wingnut.

He took exception to Covid lockdown and in fact opened up his assembly lines in Fremont, CA in defiance of Alameda County order. In fact the lockdown was ordered by multiple counties in the Bay Area jointly, so we were all under the same directive. That's when I got an inkling that he is a money grubbing asshole. Tesla stock is continuing to tank and now their claims about their FSD (full self driving) capability is not a fraud since they had pre-sold this but a failure.

CNN — Twitter’s former head of trust and safety has fled his home due to an escalation in threats resulting from Elon Musk’s campaign of criticism against him, a person familiar with the matter told CNN on Monday...

Things took a dark turn over the weekend when Musk appeared to endorse a tweet that baselessly accused Roth of being sympathetic to pedophilia — a common trope used by conspiracy theorists to attack people online.

A person familiar with Roth’s situation told CNN threats made against the former Twitter employee escalated exponentially after Musk engaged in the pedophilia conspiracy theory.

Musk and Trump are cut from the same cloth. Neither could care less about who gets hurt from the fallout of their lies as long as they bask in the glory of fawning MAGAMorons (like our very own Whell). He should sue the living shit out of Musk for this.
