He took responsibility for permanently deleting this image from the internet forever. Nothing to be ashamed of Elon. Plenty of actually terrible things you should be though.

He’s literally incapable.

I love how they’re asking him gently as if he’s a toddler having a tantrum and not the criminally liable fascist he actually is.

I only refer to him as a toddler. If you talk, act, and shit on things then blame others like a toddler, you’re a toddler. A fucking Nazi Toddler at that.

I’m not sure if Twitter has “responsibilities” to begin with. It has what we - as a society - give it the legitimacy to have.

I wish you were right but it’s an influential platform no matter how much we would like to pooh pooh it. It’s right there in the linked article:

Since July 29 when right-wing influencers made false claims on Twitter and other social media platforms that blamed the stabbing murder of three children on Muslims and immigrants, dozens of far-right riots have erupted around the nation.

You’re right but IMO that part of the article that you highlighted should be the news, not the “we should make Musk do something”.

Musk is a billionaire that thrives on attention so any form of headline that cites his name is playing his game.

Twitter is a company with investors. They should be accountable to what happens in their domain. And not by having their wrist slapped because – for the nth time – something bad happened. Media should be saying by now that Twitter is a bad place. Like they did with other social networks before.

Those riots absolutely were news, and are not buried in this article either. It is news when elected officials make a public call for the industrialist responsible for the riots to take action. I’m understand why you so dislike Musk getting any attention but that feeling does not make this not news. If you dislike Musk you should be glad to see media amplifying public officials criticism of him.

“Musk”?
“Responsibility”?

😂🤣🤪

This is ancient labor’s most foolish program. Why don’t the workers, the largest group, not simply eat Elon Musk?

He would be stringy and flavorless.
