I thought censorship was the worst thing you can do to the public square.

Musk has shown there is something worse. He doesn't want you to read less biased sources of news or info, he wants to make you into Catturd. On Musk's war on the human intellect. https://t.co/asfHWh9wGw
The censorship debate has always been about which news, analysis, or sources of info you should trust. Liberals say this person is credible, this is an expert, this is a conspiracy theorist, and so forth.

None of Elon's tweets indicate that he reads anything on government. No books, policy papers,etc. I've asked people who work with him if it's any different in private, they admit he doesn't read except for Catturd.

No way he approached rockets like this. https://t.co/asfHWh9wGw
In response to my article on what happened to Elon Musk, someone pointed me to this 2021 conversation about technology in warfare. Small sample below. Musk comes across as sharp and informed. He not only knows about engineering, but mustโve read a bit of history.

and this is within the past 24 hours. Here is even more bashing as Hanania realizes that Muskrat has become the subtard he swore to destroy:
Elon Musk apparently believes that Biden just committed chicken genocide for no reason. He lacks the curiosity to ask why this mightโve happened. He has access to all the information in the world and he outsourced his brain to the dumbest people in public life. Itโs disgusting. https://t.co/UfUuqB3CiP

Is Elon Musk as misinformed about public policy as he looks? If he weren't, it would accidentally slip once in a while that he's been influenced by a thoughtful book or article. But there's little indication he gets his info from anything but memes. https://t.co/OJ7HdodDuY pic.twitter.com/JHuzHEGbfs

Many of us were excited when Elon Musk bought X. Yet seeing his decline has been horrifying.

But if one billionaire disappoints, maybe another can save us.
I wrote some thoughts on whether Bezos' new policy at the Post can bring elites to free markets. https://t.co/OJ7HdodDuY
Looks like Elon unfollowed. Honestly surprised it took so long. When he followed Catturd I knew it was over.

Thereโs a difference between Russia knowing it and the message they take from American leaders announcing and emphasizing a fact.

Musk is not smart. He is nearly as dumb as Donny.
His PR people are very good at convincing normies he is smart and he is very good at talking in a way that normies think it's smart. If you listen to him talk about any subject you understand he sounds like a giant r-slur who spent 5 minutes reading Wikipedia and thinks they are an expert.
He is a walking manifestation of Dunning-Kruger.
The most r-slurred thing he could have done was hitch his wagon to Trump. Most of the chad billionaires are smart enough to pander to everyone so they don't get a giant peepeeing. He has guaranteed that his sweet gibs train is going to go away next admin and when the GOP eventually turns on MAGA he won't even have the benefit of one of the parties in his pocket.
Beyond life being simpler by pandering to everyone things like not dealing with antitrust issues and security clearance problems mean it's pretty essential to be seen as either apolitical or wishy washy. Apple almost killed Microsoft with a $15m bribe to start antitrust hearings. One pissed off member of a majority party is all it takes to frick you.

his gibs already were rescinded under biden with the subsidies for charging platforms. musk and trump are both hoping this is it. elon most likely wont be the richest person after the admin so either trump/musk are able to pull a richard daley and become one with the state or both of em end up rotting as they get blasted with lawfare.

The NASA gibs are way more substantial.
When he moves his show over to NASA I expect Lunar Gateway to be a den of fraud & abuse that needs to be immediately cancelled. Trump will then get NASA to sign a one shot Mars nonsense contract with him.
That was happening anyway. Trump's cases were suspended, any USA has two ready to go cases that gets them press. Unless he pardons himself which would be lulz.
Whatever happens Trump isn't seeing the inside of a jail cell. He wouldn't have even if Kamala had not lost the election. He is too old for the appeals to be exhausted before he dies of CVD.
Elon is more interesting. If he didn't disclose illegally working to USCIS in his visa or naturalization paperwork he is eligible for denaturalization and deportation. He has done many r-slurred things but publicly admitting to that is pretty high on the list, it's not a grey area at all like he claimed.

Yes. Everyone on this gay cat site, including the r-slurs, is smarter than Musk. Even the !jannies are both smarter and less pathetic.
