    How we know this account is a sockpuppet: He’s praising Elon’s parenting.

      Yeah when there are world spanning consequences like buying Twitter or helping Russia with Starlink, I’m listening.

      When he…has a second Twitter account, I do not care.

    You know, I always thought money would make me happy. But he seems so much more insecure and miserable than I ever was.

        I’ve literally gained more respect for other rich assholes like Steve Ballmer and Gabe Newell because they don’t run their fucking mouths the way Elon does. AND THEY ARE STILL RICH ASSHOLES!

      I’ve unfortunately worked for multiple multi-millionaires. The richer they were, the more insanely insecure in ways that would blow your mind. The richest would often leave his bank account open on his computer for his staff to see, among so many other examples.

    Oh Elon. You’re gonna need a whole lot more Ketamine to convince yourself you’re a good father.

    Huh? Doesn’t everyone assume he has a whole PR team that probably runs hundreds of sock puppet accounts? Like human bots? I mean isn’t a PR team basically a given for a billionaire or any special interest group?

      Celebrities do use PR agencies but Musk is known for not having PR teams at any of his companies.

      He is the stupidest billionaire.

        PR people? They’re an unnecessary expense.

        He literally cut twitter staff by 80%, twitter is on life support and running on fumes, has crazy technical issues and breaking features, and he refuses to invest in it.

          Yes the company is dying because he cut all their staff but that’s not the point.

          None of his companies have PR departments.

          Any request for comment to these companies is responded to with a poop emoji or ignored. He’s a child.

    It’s just amazing that probably the one man who least needs to give a crap about anything has such a thin skin. All of his money can’t seem to resolve his deep insecurity.

    I feel like it’s easier to believe he is a serious dickrider for Musk. I bet there’s a million of them out there. Musk could just boost one of them instead of operating a burner account.

    As much as I hate Musk, its not like he’s lacking in actual sycophants to publicly kiss his ass. And also the title is wrong Liam Nissan didnt get banned he deleted the account to move to Bluesky.

    X has two rules. Don’t talk shit about Elon, and don’t talk shit about the dictators he wants to get cozy to.

      Indeed, the level of obsession some people have with Elon Musk is kind of ridiculous.

        I think it’s because he’s clearly a villain like Trump, and there is clearly a different legal system for him, like Trump.

        Nobody who has lived like him and wasn’t a billionaire would get security clearance. People focus on him because he’s out here Saying The Quiet Parts Out Loud, and so he’s a really good one to focus on if you’re trying to make a point about corporations and their love of fascism and hate of actual capitalism and competition.

        What can I say? Everyone hates a hypocrite, especially one who uses his power to shove his hypocrite-ass in everyone’s face. Like all hypocrites with power, he does it to show everyone he has power to get away with what you can’t. People do tire of that, and they would like to see this fucking prick strung up by his fucking neck by people who have actually faced real suffering in their lives, who finally got sick of his fat whiny baby bitch ass.

        Ignoring him certainly wouldn’t make him go away, and it’s a good thing to have more and more people waking up to the fact that the rich aren’t any smarter or more capable than us, and Musk is a perfect example. They have created a media ecosystem which praises the rich as somehow better than the average person, but the reality is they just had money, power, and connections. They aren’t smart, they aren’t capable, they aren’t brilliant, they are just as shortsighted and stupid as the fucking rest of us, and it’s helpful to be able to point at people who really exemplify that, like Musk.

        What can I say, it’s helpful to have a Free Speech Warrior who clearly only cares about his speech. It makes it easier to open people’s eyes to how fucked our entire society is for handing the keys to the kingdom to these fucking idiots to begin with.

        Further, almost nobody would say the same thing about people bitching about, say, Rupert Murdoch, but there’s plenty of people who watch Murdoch’s moves as well, because he also owns right-wing media companies that intend to massage the narrative to the right-wing “reality.” I heard the names like Murdoch, Bill O’Reilly, and Tucker Carlson thrown around and complained about for years before Musk became a target because of his shenanigans. Nobody says “people are obsessed with Carlson!”

          which praises the rich as somehow better than the average person, but the reality is they just had money, power, and connections. They aren’t smart, they aren’t capable, they aren’t brilliant, they are just as shortsighted and stupid as the fucking rest of us

          Dumb idea: Any Rand was secretly a lefty who wanted the oligarchs to fuck around and find out.
