Same. Never signed up, also lurk a few bookmarked feeds.

If you want to go further on feed when that 'sign in' banner pops up, try hitting ' login' then just close the next banner, it lets you carry on from where you were.

Yea, the popups a bit Irritating but they don't shut you out... so far anyway.:cautious:

The argument that because I haven't done something, I cannot have an opinion, is an interesting one.
He has achieved the status of the richest human being on Earth. So does that mean that unless you're in the Bill Gates / Warren Buffet / Jeff Bezos club, you can't comment on Elon?

It's a legitimate question. My achievements or lack thereof are entirely irrelevant.
What has Elon done to "save humanity", as he claims is his goal? Can you please list some of those in bullet form?

You comment as you like. Don't like the response, boo hoo. Again, he has done more for the world than some have done for their family. If you can't see it then that is your problem. Take the effort you put into your post and Google what he has done for the world. P.S. Diversify the links you click on and don't only suck up Liberal twat tweets. Use brain.

Would be nice if you named it, since near all his stuff is buying in and taking that product to market at the end. Pretty much all his stuff someone else could have done, it's quite different to e.g. Bill gates.

Delivering a service and product is not making a difference in the world?

Everyone makes a difference in their own way. The grocery packer makes a difference in the world by making your life a little easier.
But Elon claims to be bettering humanity as a whole. In what way is he doing that?
 
My feeling on Musk is that he went from wanting making a difference to wanting to make a splash.
He bought twitter because "Free speech", but the second someone owned him on the platform he has shadow banned her. So its free speech as long as I agree.

He let it get to his head and now he thinks he is hot sht because of who he is and not because of what he is achieving.

I lost all respect for him when he whined about paying tax. It showed that he is all about status and money now and he wants the republicans in power because they protect that.

He is so out of touch with the real world its not funny.

Thermonuclear name & shame? WTF is he thinking? There are no "activist groups" putting pressure, the advertisers are fleeing this dumpster fire.
Does he think he has a RIGHT to their advertising budget that he can shame them for not spending it on twitter?

He's having an awesome first week, fired a whole lot of staff, flipflopped on the cost of his new subscription service, got his staff sleeping in their office and making them work 12 hour days to deliver on his random ideas, alienated advertisers, cried because he alienated advertisers, threatened to name and shame advertisers who left the platform which will alienate the remaining advertisers...
Elon has this vision of himself as the saviour of humanity. Not sure if he's that deluded or just that narcissistic, but he clearly is unaware of what a ponce he is.
He's also blocking people who legitimately question or contradict him, further enforcing the fact that his trope of a "town hall" where everyone can express their views is a joke, since he himself is not open to listening to everyone's views. (Although this shouldn't be a surprise, since he's already been known to fire Tesla staff on the spot for disagreeing with him).
Really confused as to why he gets so much hero-worship, when he's just a some rich guy who happened to be born in South Africa. What exactly is he doing to "save humanity" as he claims is his goal?

He is basically speed running the business takeover thing.

Lesser managerial types take a year to set up a 5 year plan to try and fail and do what Elon has in a week.

If only we can convince him to run eskom for 2 weeks.

Do you know what free speech is?
It is not the right to force anyone else to read your nonsense, only to post nonsense

and? if you restrict someones ability to communicate then you are restricting free speech, yes? If he prevents someone from seeing the nonsense you post than he is restricting free speech?

If Elon restricts an account for whatever reason then he is restricting free speech, and that's his right, since it bought the thing.
But he is a whiny little bitch because he claims that free speech is important when someone he likes gets restricted or removed, but the second he gets is in charge he starts removing and restricting people who make fun of him.

Can you see that?
 
Elon Musk is the new Elizabeth Holmes.. Vapourware.

His empire will come crashing down sooner rather than later.

Do you honestly believe that "Businesses" don't get swayed by activist groups? I think it happens all the time.

Sure, they do.
Coke has promised to move to glass because of activist groups, Restaurants stop selling fish on the red list because of activist groups..

Walk me through what activist group you think is targeting Musk and what influence or argument they would use to stop them from spending their money there.
Also they very definition of activism is
"the policy or action of using vigorous campaigning to bring about political or social change."

Show me these campaigns. Or do you think that campaigns strong enough to cause advertisers to leave a platform like twitter are held in secret?

Only half as many ads, what kind of half baked garbage is this?!
Click to expand...
and half of what? The free tier? So they double the adds in the free tier and you pay for the same amount of ads?

Anyone who has run any kind of big business is shaking their heads right now.

You cause instability in a company and it falls apart. There is a reason taking over a company takes time and finesse, and he just did not take the first and does not have the second.

You and your friends on the left, for one.

Edit: Besides, we're talking about how Twitter was forced (willingly) by Woke/Leftist activist groups and Governments to be all PC and stuff, we're not talking about anyone targeting Musk, yet.
