    Elon Musk is such an ignorant spoiled man-child. The world would be much better without 🤡s like him

    I’d bet $10 he tries that, doesn’t like the result and blames it on bots or smthn then vows to never do democracy again.

    Or he’ll only let Twitter blue subscribers vote. Musk’s version of democracy is pay to win, makes sense for a billionaire tho.

    Eat the rich.

      This was from last year and he just made a unilateral change with no vote.

      I’m starting to think think Elon guy is full of shit.

    he did say it was ‘temporary’ and it seems almost like it’s sorted out now maybe… ? but people would be so much less pissed if he just led with ‘for the next 24-48 hours server uptime will be spotty due to [compulsive lying / etc]’

    Just so everyone is aware, this tweet is from December. This isn’t regarding the recent changes.

        He started putting polls for things like Twitter Blue, other “governance polls”, and eventually, on whether he should resign as CEO. He responded to the result of every poll with “vox populi, vox dei” (Latin: The voice of the people is the voice of God) when it went his way, except the poll for him to step down went against him.

        He has not stepped down and he stopped doing the polls.

        He banned the jet tracker, so people began moving to mastodon to track his jet after mastodon’s Twitter account posted a link to the jet tracker on Mastodon. In response, musk banned mastodon’s Twitter account and also made it against policy to post any links to non-Twitter social media sites on Twitter. This decision was hated by everyone and the first poll was wether to keep it or roll back.

          And people voted to roll it back, and then Elon like “oops, I didn’t set the bots up properly, let’s vote again.”

          What a loser.

    Honestly I knew Elon was, to be quite frank, to be an absolute idiot of the highest order. But the current shenanigans just has me feeling like “Our expectations for you were low but holy fuck”

      Yeah, honestly I’m a bit ashamed that I didn’t realize just how stupid that man could be, even after hearing that he leaned over to his new wife while dancing at their wedding and whispered in her ear “I am the alpha”. Like, for a long time I just assumed the guy was an arrogant incel-esque asshole who was visionary about things like electric cars and reusable rockets and stuff. Now I realize he’s just a rich egomaniac who stood on the shoulders of scientists that he hired so that he could act like their work was his own. He’s just another rich fool who gets to cosplay being smart.
