Why should anyone care? I thought the blue mark doesn’t have meaning anymore?

Elon heard something called Unify or Utigy was taking all the bad press and he had to fix that.

Ahemmm just pure “they be crafty”… Like did UAW keep their twitter X account just so they thought “Will Elon be stupid enough to revoke us”. Since it is clear sign of anti-union behavior by CEO of a car company by concrete act and well car company CEO can’t exactly do that with atleast potentially getting in trouble. It won’t suffice alone, but combine it with other actions by Tesla and UAW can argue “Tesla as company all the way to the CEO shows a consistent pattern of anti-union activity of actively hindering our union drives. That is supposed to be illegal”.

Atleast I think UAW doesn’t mind at all the publicity, this will cause for them “Automaker CEO revoked us, since all business is too conglomerized to too few hands and control way too much of the business”

Who fucking cares. Stop talking about musk and he will likely go away

I wonder why the guy who bought Tesla might not want the UAW represented on the platform he bought? I can’t think of why that might be

In completely unrelated related news:

One of the things their talking about is an increase for workers who deal with electric batteries…

I just hope it gives them ideas. fingers crossed

Just as much of a Musk hater as the rest of them, but this was posted elsewhere. UAW changed their profile photo at the same time they announced the strike, which triggered the flag on the account. Apparently this is standard with all verified accounts until the photo can be reviewed.

Anywho, fuck Elon Musk!

Jesus, you people really are obsessed with trans people’s genitals.

Not even on topic and you still manage to chat about them. That’s not normal.

This dude is such a pussy. I wish he wasn’t terrified to fight Zuckerberg so we could all watch him get his ass kicked.

Whatever happened with that anyways? The last update I ever remember reading was Musk saying he’d show up at Zuckerberg’s front door “tomorrow” demanding to fight.

I mean, I can guess what ended up happening (or not happening) - but was that it? No show, no reason, no follow-up? Is he even keeping up the pretense of being serious anymore?

Last think I heard on it was one of their mums saying no. I forget which one though

E found it https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-mother-model-maye-warns-against-mark-zuckerberg-fight-2023-6?op=1&r=US&IR=T

It was a double no-show.

Please don’t even talk about it. If it actually happened, it would make so much money for them. Let’s not make those withering schmucks the biggest ticket ever.

lol does he not realize that he has delegitimized any credibility his platform once held?

I’m sure they do not care.

That’s the whole point

It’s not that he doesn’t care. It’s the goal. Killing the credibility of social media is a top priority for authoritarians. They can’t have people talking to each other outside of the shaped narratives delivered by their media companies. That’s why companies spend so much on bot farms, shills and influencers. In order to shape public narratives when they can’t control the media.

It’s time to put some of these billionaires in their place. Nationalize his shit, seize his assets, and revoke his passport and citizenship. Fuck Musk, sick of his childish attention seeking bullshit.

The socialist advocates for violence after reading one headline.

Is lemmy /pol/ for leftoids?

Nationalize SpaceX for sure. Let him keep Twitter though, at this point it’s such a dumpster fire that it’s more of an albatross around his neck than an asset, we don’t need the tax payers carrying that shit.
