I love that the blue check went from a dumb “status symbol” to being something that no one wants except MAGA dipsh!ts and Musk worshippers. What a spectacular miscalculation by the “genius” that is Elon Musk. The guy is wrong about things more often than he is right, but somehow people still think his vision is infallible. It’s no wonder that there is heavy overlap between his cult of personality and Trump’s. MAGA fools can’t help but wrap up their otherwise empty identities in their love for their idols. It’s embarrassing. The fact they think that paying $8 a month for something that offers $0 in actual value just to feel relevant reinforces everything normal people already thought about them.

Temporary victory for DOJ in securing a stay. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday granted a temporary stay of a July 4 order putting sweeping limitations on the Biden administration’s communications with social media companies. The stay was granted by a panel of 5th Circuit judges, which includes Clinton-appointee Carl E. Stewart, Obama-appointee James E. Graves and Trump-appointee Andrew S. Oldham. Oldham last year wrote an opinion upholding a Texas social media law, which bars social media companies from removing posts based on a person’s political ideology. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/07/14/5thcircuit-biden-socialmedia-stay/

Musk is a POS. I’m more convinced than ever that he is not a “visionary genius”, but simply a new version of PT Barnum. He amassed wealth by being the “right place, right time” guy with PayPal and Tesla. He then parlayed that wealth into more wealth through fabrication, lies, and bullying. He’s lied about the safety of Teslas, their driving range, their quality, etc. The mess he’s made of Twitter and its branding is truly a masterclass in ineptitude. Adding to his list of lies and bullying is his BS “free speech” absolutism and threatening lawsuits on people who try to expose his crap: www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2023/07/31/twitter-threatens-legal-action-against-nonprofit-for-claiming-hate-speech-rose-after-musks-takeover/amp/Even without running any numbers, you mean to tell me that hate speech is DOWN after decreasing moderation and reinstating the accounts of the most vile and hateful accounts? It flies in the face of reason. You’d have to be an absolute idiot to believe that. It’s no surprise that there is a huge overlap between those that have fallen victim to his cult of personality and those who fall victim to Trump’s cult of personality.

Musk is an a-hole of the first order. That said, this is Job 1 in San Francisco? Hope the investigators can dodge the feces and urine…

I was there about a year and a half ago, and I was astonished and greatly saddened to see what has happened to a wonderful city. It was truly unbelievable. And I understand it's not getting better.

No question, Musk is a POS of the first order (another narcissist, like the former guy), but to call him a right place, right time guy isn't at all fair or accurate. Take a look at what he has accomplished with Starlink. It's astonishing, and very scary.
