Elon Musk may legitimately be mentally ill. Not an insult to him or mentally ill people. I think he's suffering right now. There's no other reason to nuke your social media website like this. He's a capitalist first and anyone with even the faintest of a healthy mind would know this is a bad move.

Ahh yes, the plausible deniability of saying "maybe", like you're not actually agreeing.  Very clever and no one will ever see through it.

As for Musk, he is autistic, not mentally ill.  If you've ever had to deal with autistic people (I've had a lot of training as you have to approach them differently in a lot of ways) they will say or do things that make no sense to you, but make complete sense to them.  I had thought the left was above mocking a person for their disabilities, but I guess not when they don't toe the far left dogmatic line, or worse, actively fight against it.

You are so sensitive to any criticism it's funny.

Since you're already crossing threads I'll point out you said what you said about Biden was obvious to anyone who dealt with it.

I will be very surprised if the Dems don't pull a Texas switch with Biden sometime next year.  He'll have a "health crisis" or something similar.

I never said *I* believed anything about Musk, nor did I "mock" a person for their disability.  That's all what you made up in your head from me posting an actual Musk Tweet and the word "Maybe".

Now grab a tissue and get back on track with the thread.

Being neurospicy doesn't just give you a pass on being a shitty person and saying things like that. I agree with you that the commentary on Musk and mental illness is wrong, but your post here is some heavy handed virtue signaling. I say this as someone also on the spectrum.

He's sincerely posing with a katana like he's an edgy badass.  I diagnose him as a total dorkus malorkus and i cite the DSM-IV I still have in my closet from my undergrad days.

Simply holding people to their own standards.  Rather the opposite of virtue signaling in my opinion.  Musk says, and does some cringe worthy things.  I just enjoy how quickly people abandon their stated moral compass the minute it's inconvenient to trashing someone they don't like.  If he hadn't bought Twitter he'd still be the darling of the far left and the same people trashing him in this thread would be lathering his ass.

Yup, he's cringe there's no denying that.  I'll simply reiterate what I sad above.  It's interesting to see how quickly people who used to sing his praises turned on him the minute he espoused opinions they didn't like.

I believe this is called projection.

Yup, and unlike yourself I don't pussyfoot around my opinion.

Suuuuuurrrrre you didn't.  You just said "maybe".  Like I said plausible deniability.  Rather cowardly, but you do you.

They have this obession of being shown strong because he's not the only one in this matter.

Talk about insecurity ...

This post is just cringe. I don't think JQ posting is cringe. It's antisemitic and conspiratorial and will cause him problems financially. 

People's excuse for Kanye JQ posting was that he was off his meds etc. Now people are attributing Musk's JQ posting to his autism.

Or maybe he's just hateful.

People change and then get new friends or in this case fanbases. I live in rural PA and the number of people around here who thought Donald Trump was the reincarnation of Jesus himself was pretty low prior to 2016.

Musk amuses me because he is in his 50s and has a zillion bucks but he acts like me and the weirdo loser friends I had back in my teen days. Maybe I've sold out or gotten brainwashed but the 17 year old version of me would have loved Musk. Now? Meh, not much. Maybe I'll change back when I'm older.

The social media platform X has lost 71% of its value since it was bought by Elon Musk, according to the mutual fund Fidelity.


Fidelity, which owns a stake in X Holdings, said in a disclosure obtained by Axios that it had marked down the value of its shares by 71.5% since Musk’s purchase.

Musk acquired Twitter for $44bn in October 2022 and renamed the platform X in July 2023. Fidelity’s estimate would place the value of X at about $12.5bn.

The number of monthly users of X dropped by 15% in the first year since Musk’s takeover amid concerns over a rise in hate speech on the platform.


Since Musk’s takeover, X has cut at least 50% of staff and reduced moderation. And in September, the European Union issued a warning to Musk after it found that X had the highest ratio of disinformation posts of all large social media platforms.

Fidelity’s revised valuation of X came from a disclosure which ran to the end of November 2023, Axios reported. X did not immediately respond to a request for comment.


That disclosure would cover the fallout from a number of major companies pulling advertising on X after Musk endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory, the New York Times reported. Musk responded to the boycott by telling companies to “go **** yourself” during an interview at an event in New York.


Musk is the world’s richest man, according to Forbes, with a net worth of $251bn. When he acquired Twitter, Musk said he was buying the company “to try to help humanity”.


Since the takeover Musk has reinstated a number of people previously banned from the platform, including former president Donald Trump and the rightwing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.


Trump is facing more than 90 criminal charges stemming from subversion of the 2020 election that he lost to Joe Biden, retention of government secrets after his presidency and hush-money payments to porn actor Stormy Daniels. He is also attempting to fend off civil lawsuits over business affairs and a rape allegation deemed substantially true by a judge.

Meanwhile, Jones recently proposed to pay $55m over 10 years to the Sandy Hook families who sued him for spreading lies that the 2012 schoolhouse killings in Newtown, Connecticut, were part of a hoax meant to force the US to accept gun control.


Jones’s offer came after a Texas judge ruled that Jones, the host of Infowars, could not invoke bankruptcy protection to avoid paying the nearly $1.5bn he was ordered to pay to families of the victims of one of the deadliest school shootings in US history. Believers of Jones’s lies aimed abuse and threats at the families.

[*pally*]

A Delaware judge has voided Elon Musk’s 2018 $56 billion Tesla compensation package. The bottom line being that the package’s origins were with Musk himself and rubber stamped by a board filled with family members and cronies. The judge ruled that shareholders were essentially defrauded and the compensation package, which vaulted Musk to the world’s richest person list, was designed to allow Musk to take total control of the company.

It was the stock options from this package that Musk leveraged to buy Twitter, a company now worth the $44 million he paid for it.
Tesla is also struggling with production delays and problems coupled with increased competition.
