Elon Musk’s X is throttling traffic to news and websites he dislikes | The site formerly known as Twitter has added a five-second delay when a user clicks on a shortened link to the New York Times,…::undefined
I wonder if anyone’s image has crashed from such highs to such pathetic lows. At the end of the day, it was all PR but he still had the admiration of many people just a few years back i.e before the Thai submarine fiasco. Now most people consider him a petulant child man with a massive fortune. The only good outcome of this fall has been a clear understanding that earning wealth is purely based on luck. It doesnt matter if it is millions or billions ,nothing comes due to our own genius. It is a combination of factors that result in wealth but it is mostly determined at your birth. May be this episode will humble others who might have taken a similar path due to their inexplicable wealth.
Saw someone else make a good point. I hope all these people that shouted about supporting net neutrality back in the day will make noise about how anti net neutrality this is. (I doubt it, but it’d be nice)
This is a person who’s mission, every day, is how to make the world shittier for everyone. He asks himself, over his breakfast of Cap’n Crunch and a juice box, ‘how can I fuck things up today?’
Musk operates on the “There is no such thing as bad publicity model”. He doesn’t care if the news is bad or good so long as his name / businesses are in the 24-hour news cycle. It’s stupid, but he gets idiots to bring him more attention.
If 1/2 the clowns that endlessly post anti-Twitter/anti-Musk stories would just STOP USING TWITTER, the entire site would collapse. Sick of seeing that asswipe’s name, but I’m not on his goddamn platform. I don’t drive his shitty cars. I won’t fawn over every goddamn thing he does.
How much of an absolute douche do you have to be to make Zuck look good in comparison?!
You claim you hate the guy, but the fact that you have a Twitter account proves that was a lie.
(a) survival bias (b) don’t take credit for what you did, you’re not a highly moral hero, it’s just how chemistry in your brain works; it’s perfectly normal to be egoistic, take care of yourself and not quit from the day 1 just because you don’t like what your boss asked you to do.

So some more lawsuits then, I guess. This can’t be legal.
Wow! The genius of the man. It walks the fine line between infantile and stupid.
it’s fun to watch it burn

This is %100 wrong when your main source of revenue is advertising. Advertisers very much care about bad press.

If you’re on a work visa and you don’t want to get deported then you do what daddy Elon tells you.

It’s easy to talk about integrity when you’re not in that position.
