      No? You’re not the only one?

      Whomever he clicked on shows up, so benign accounts are in there, but are definitely the minority. I feel bad for Billy2K, all he did was make dogecoin as a joke that spun out of his control.

    If Elon loves being authoritarian, why does he try to distance himself from far right terrorists?

      They know they have to stay mask on, no matter what.

      They tried the whole “haha, we were nazis all along!” thing with the tiki torches and Unite the Right rally. They lost their jobs, families and the platform they’d built out of plausible deniability.

      You could catch them dressed as Hitler, with a hand written copy of Elders of Zion, in the middle of lynching a jew, and they’d still claim “the left just calls everyone who disagrees with them a Nazi”.

      He wants to sell more electric cars. He used to be ok at fake messaging, but he went all in on right wing grievance politics 5 years ago and he can’t escape it now. He sided with the people who hate electric cars, but that’s just his brain damage.

        Does seem like he and other had a brain brake around same time. Or could just be wealth effects.

      Same reason he skipped out of South Africa before the SADF conscripted him into the Apartheid war machine… him and his ilk believe the dirty and bloody work is beneath them.

      “Terrorists” are the bad guys, you want “freedom fighters” (fighting for your freedoms, of course).

    Sounds like a right winger who had a psychotic episode or something, did he target people based on their politics?

      Doubt it. If you’ve been constantly screamed at to see enemies everywhere for long enough, sooner or later you start seeing enemies everywhere.

        That describes America perfectly, and both can be true. People who knew him have voiced concerns for his mental health and that it was a complete surprise to them. Coming up with hypothetical reasons to ignore that information seems to venture in to less likely territory.

        When crimes are politically convenient people always want to discount mental health as a factor, and on the other hand will acknowledge a mental health crisis and the politics around that.

    Here is the problem I see- you make this news and maga will immediately turn it into a deep state/antifai/Soros/FBI false flag operation.

    Maybe they have already, i stay out of that nonsense these days. You just can’t change these people’s minds as easy as they can be programmed by right wing media.

    Pretty obvious what this guy was listening to and I’m sad for the families that have to deal with his bullshit actions. I can’t even imagine being gunned down just bowling with friends. We can’t ignore the RW media’s role in this.

      We are still waiting for that Trans shooter’s manifesto that was never released. We have enough actual instances of Tom fuckery woth the government that we don’t need to make more

        The trans shooter manifesto will probably never be released, it’s probably deeply personal and about the abuses he sufferred at the hands of some predator at that school, i don’t get why that’s somehow a cover up?

          i’m saying it is not atypical by any means for a social media platform to remove profiles of mass shooters. for as long as I can remember, every single time it happens and their social media is found, and it’s subsequently removed. i know this sub is dedicated to hating Musk but you just look stupid when you spin narratives like this. People in this thread are calling for his arrest over it saying that he’s hiding evidence of a crime.

            Arguably analyzing such profiles would likely show that nearly all nowadays are at least in part radicalized via social media. Turns out if you rattle millions of grenades a few explode.

            It’s blatantly obvious he was trying to hide the shooters connection to Republicans and Trump. Come on now.

            Facebook does the same thing, and it doesn’t hide evidence because banning someone’s account doesn’t remove their profile’s data. It’s still there for foi requests, warrants, and subpoenas. These social media companies aren’t gonna host a mass shooter’s profile. It’s like how they banned Trump, that wasn’t “hiding evidence,” and it’s likely if you hate Elon you were also loving that Twitter banned Trump.

          can you name an example of a major mass shooter who didn’t have their profile nuked by social media platforms?
