    it's definitely an unexpected matchup! While they're both incredibly smart and successful in their own domains, MMA is a whole different ball game. It'd be quite the spectacle to witness, no doubt!

    Elon must be trying to diversifying his income since Twitter is losing a lot of money. He can also legally punch his rival in the face at the same time.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I don’t know why we’re stopping at this. Fuck it, put Boris in with Rishi or Keir, Trump with Biden. Saudis would pay big money for that shit!

    Twitter poster with ten followers sentenced to death by Twitter's second biggest owner for criticising him on twitter:

    https://twitter.com/mehdirhasan/stat...53148792721916

    The free speech absolutist has nothing to say.


    He does have a lot to say to white supremacists and nazis though. Not only does he converse with them all the time, reinstate them on twitter and pay them money to post there he's also now going after their enemies and coming out as a raging antisemite. The free speech absolutist is going to sue the Jews for saying things he doesn't like:

    I love the implication that the erratic management, mass layoffs, incoherent moderation, destruction of verification, decimated engineering staff, serial unbanning of racists, and crumbling infrastructure had nothing to do with twitter losing half its value. Nope, just Jews.

    https://twitter.com/Shayan86/status/1698832830392889644



    So he spent forty billion on a twenty at best billion business and in a year proceeded to make it worthless while also pissing off prospective and existing Tesla customers who are almost all liberals while destroying his claims to be a centre left guy and pissing his free speech absolutism guise up the wall by working with and submitting to the world's worst regimes. He's managed to fuck himself from every possible direction and lose his reputation and billions of dollars. The man is clearly having a mental event and it'll become undeniable at some point.

    I don't care what anyone says, this is the most punchable face in the world at the moment



    I watched his interview with Tucker Carlson.

    He said

    “Well, in the past we could rely upon simple limbic system rewards in order to procreate. But once you have birth control and abortions and what not, now you can still satisfy the limbic instinct but not procreate,”

    That's just word salad of saying "WHITE WOMEN !! START HAVING MORE WHITE KIDS !!"



    Then Musk says

    “So, we haven’t yet evolved to deal with that because it’s all fairly recent in the last 50 years or so. I’m sort of worried that...if we don’t make enough people to at least sustain our numbers, perhaps increase a bit, then civilization is going to crumble.”

    "Our numbers" ? Once again he's talking about white ppl. White numbers are in decline.



    High cancer rates, lowest sperm count in the world, low birth rates, high suicide rates and of course racial mixing.

    Then Musk says

    “It’s the old question of, like, will civilization go out with a bang or a whimper? Well, it’s currently trending to end with a whimper in adult diapers”—[at this point, Carlson interjects to nod and say “yes”]—“which is depressing as hell.”

    This is basically calling for a race war.

    That's all he's saying here.

    Musk ain't talking about Uganda when he's talk about civilization going out with a "whimper" He's talking about majority white countries falling and that white ppl will be genocided.

    And if he can get enough white ppl to really think that ? Violence becomes almost inevitable. You can't fight for legal changes or policy reforms. You have to stop "them"

    Anders Breivik, shot and killed killed 69 white people in Norway in 2011.
    Dylann Roof, shot and killed 9 blk church goes in USA in 2015.
    Brenton Tarrant, shot and killed 51 Muslims at a mosque iNew Zealand, in 2019.
    Patrick Crusius, shot and killed 23 Latino's at an El Paso Walmart that same year — most, if not all, Latino.
    Payton Gendron, shot and killed 10 Black shoppers in a Buffalo supermarket.

    And to be honest ? Dylan Roof and PPeyton Gendron were seen as punks by even white supremacists, not that that cared for him shooting and killing blk ppl, more that they shot and killed mainly old black people.

    These white supremacists who believe that replacement theory REALLY WANTED it to be YOUNG BLACK PEOPLE. The blk men and women who young and virile and go onto to have children.

    That's who they really want.

    That's why if you notice the white supremacists LOVE a Trayvon Martin. A Renesha McBride. A Tamir Rice, A Mike Brown, A Freddie Grey story. They pour thousands into the officers gofundme. They go out of there way to defend them.

    But all those white killers were on that "white ppl are gonna be wiped out" "white ppl are gonna be replaced" ideology

    Once a white person accepts or thinks they are trying to be replaced or wiped out. All bets are off. At that point, discussing or debating issues is irrelevant.

    It’s kill or be killed.

    IBM has suspended advertising on X, formerly known as Twitter, after a report said its ads were placed next to posts praising Adolf Hitler and Nazism.

    The company said it was "completely unacceptable" that its content appeared in such threads on the platform.

    Not the first and certainly will not be the last. Day and age of power brokers showing their true colors however vile and talking sideways trying to weasel thru when called out and bottom line takes a hit.

    In a profanity-laced outburst, Elon Musk has slammed advertisers that have left X, warning they will kill the social media platform.

    At an event in New York, he accused companies that have joined an ad boycott of the site formerly known as Twitter of trying to blackmail him.

    "Go [expletive] yourself," the billionaire said in an interview.

    Some firms have paused advertising on X amid concerns over antisemitism, including a post from Mr Musk himself.

    The Tesla and SpaceX boss apologised on Wednesday for that post, saying it might be the "dumbest" thing he has ever shared online.

    But it was his response to a question about an advertising boycott by companies including Disney, Apple and Comcast that caused a stir at the gathering of leaders from the worlds of business, politics and culture.

    "I don't want them to advertise," Mr Musk said at the New York Times' DealBook Summit.

    "If someone is going to blackmail me with advertising or money go [expletive] yourself.

    "Go. [Expletive]. Yourself. Is that clear? Hey Bob, if you're in the audience, that's how I feel."

    He was apparently referring to Disney chief executive Bob Iger, who spoke at the summit earlier in the day.

    In the room with Mr Musk was Linda Yaccarino, X's chief executive, who has been charged with trying to bring back advertisers to the platform.

    Mr Musk also said that advertisers could kill X.

    "What this advertising boycott is going to do is it's going to kill the company," he said.

    "The whole world will know those advertisers killed the company, and we will document it in great detail," he added.

    Ms Yaccarino has since reposted what she called his "candid interview", adding her perspective on advertising that "X is standing at a unique and amazing intersection of Free Speech and Main Street — and the X community is powerful and is here to welcome you".

    Mr Musk has been on a visit to Israel after he last month appeared to personally back an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

    "I'm sorry for that tweet... it might be literally the worst and dumbest post that I've ever done," he said on Wednesday.

    The boycott isn't just to do with that post, though.

    Many advertisers had already decided to spend their dollars elsewhere.

    In an interview with the BBC in April, Mr Musk said "almost all of them [advertisers] have either come back or they're going to come back".

    Three months later he acknowledged in a post on X that ad revenue had fallen by 50%.

    That was before a report by liberal pressure group Media Matters, which claimed to have found evidence that some adverts had been placed next to Nazi content.

    X says the group's report had "misrepresented the real user experience of X" in order to "undermine freedom of speech and mislead advertisers". X has filed a lawsuit against Media Matters.

    It's hard to see how Mr Musk's comments will bring advertisers running back. The company is heavily reliant on their money.

    It is unclear how much of X's revenue currently comes from ads, because it's now a private company and no longer publishes quarterly reports.

    But before Mr Musk took over the firm, advertising made up about 90% of Twitter revenue.
