Elon Musk: Always A Douche

[HVC]

Not exactly a denial there Elon 

It's not only an admission, but a truly damning one.

Because my answer would clearly be that it's better for twitter to be banned entirely than to have it available only for government sources with opposition sources throttled.

Where's the profit in that? Shareholder value!

Especially important when musk is the shareholder

Just more proof that the whole "free speech" thing is pure hypocrisy.

[Valmy]

Musk seems to assume that Erdogan is going to win so there is no future risk of helping him take down his opponents.

Of course is Erdogan does end up being out of office by whatever means and the opposition takes over then suddenly his decision to take a side in Turkish politics would backfire. We'll see whose brain fell out of their head.

Not that we needed any more proof.

I haven't seen him try to practice his "free speech" con in a while (nopt that I'm looking) so I was wondering if even he realizes how lacking that con was.

Elon is going all in on anti-Semitic Soros hate.

For most others I'd assume antisemitism, but for Elmo it could very well be deep seated jealous of Soros

So where does he hate Gates? Bezos?

Soros hate has a 100% overlap with antisemitism.

[HVC]

Not sure about bezos, but he has gone after gates too.

*edit* this is the same guy that called a rescuer a pedo because he was outshined.  He has some issues beyond just being a dick.

I reported the tweet for antisemitism. Not holding my breath

You're going to get banned for disparaging the leader

I think Soros villanization has transcended antisemitism.  The original conspiracy theory was a dog whistle, but now it's just one of many idiocies that susceptible minds accept without question or awareness.  I remember some years ago at my extended family gathering how some of my Trumpist Jewish relatives were quoting some Soros conspiracy theories; they weren't self-hating Jews, they were just brainwashed zombie Jews.

Soros dropped his Tesla stock earlier this year.

Definitely. But then thats a tonne of modern anti semitism really. The real anti semites lie at the core of it but they're clever enough to know just screaming death to the Jews isn't going to work so they mask it in such a way that a lot of people will lap it up not realising what it is.
They're really big on purposfully muddying the waters with valid Israel criticism for instance.
Its dying down now but a big one in recent years has been screeching about metropolitan liberal elites...

edit- and is if on cue here's another one that has been popular with idiots in recent times...

Oh yes. For about a decade the Hungarian parlance was "international finance circles" (as in, groups). It was a very wink-wink term and neatly channeled anti-globalism feelings into antisemitism.

[celedhring]

Well, the whole "jews secretly run the world" thing was the first version of anti-globalism.
