Elon sets a record…

Well…with the cratering of Tesla stock and all of his other stupid financial moves, ole elon has set a record that I’m sure he never wanted to….he is the first person in the history of the world to lose over 200 billion dollars…yep, he’s lost half of his fortune since he bought twitter and with all of the shenanigans there expose him as being a lousy businessman and right wing troll, the sales of teslas is cratering along with the stock price and even the price of used teslas is falling like a rock as his yes men at twitter go about ruining it. So, can we just admit that when you start out with 400 million dollars in inheritance and make some money from it, it doesn’t make you a genius or even a good person…it just makes you appear to be an insufferable asshole with how you treat the people around you…I hope he goes broke….geez…

Elon Musk…super genius…

Well…I sure hope none of you guys has any Tesla stock…over the past year it has lost over 75% of it’s value and musk has cost stockholders over 800 billion dollars…so, is this some sort of elevenety level chess, or is he just some right wing asshole who started out rich and got richer by accident? His moves with both tesla and with twitter seems to show that he is not the super genius that he played on tv but just another hack with too much money and too many sycophants and yes men who he has surrounded himself with….and while we’re at it, let’s just remember how SpaceX got to be successful…it was all of the government contracts and subsidies it got from NASA…without them, it wouldn’t exist so no, it wasn’t elon’s genius but yours an my money that did it…it seems that people liked tesla when he still had that undeserved veneer of genius but now that people see the true elon, they don’t want to have anything to do with him…and I don’t, either….

Elon’s meltdown is going to cost him…

Well…with the Thursday night massacre at twitter where ole elon started to permanently block a bunch of journalists including Keith Olbermann for some pissy little reason, the thin skinned moron is going to pay for that in the UK where regulators are already readying fines since it is against the law to do that there…and it is just what I talked about a couple of weeks back when I noted that facebook just paid a 250 million dollar fine for running afoul of the content moderation laws there and this could cost elon at least that and maybe more…and the whole thing started when elon blocked a teenagers account on twitter that followed where his private jet was at any time….and then it escalated when reporters started calling elon on it and posting links to instructions how to set up an account on Mastodon…so then he blocked any account that mentioned Mastodon…oh, and do yourself a favor…go over and set up an account on Mastodon…no ads, no right wing crazies, and no elon…and lots of nice people….so in addition to losing a lot of his ad revenue, elon is going to be on the hook for big fines in both the UK and EU…can’t happen to a bigger moron….

People are embarrassed…

Well…just read a funny little article that says that people are now becoming embarrassed to drive their Teslas with the idiot musk revealing who he really is by his destruction of twitter and his trump like tweets that spew the same kind of right wing bullshit…and the sales of teslas are dropping like a rock as is it’s stock price that has dropped by 75% over the past year…so I wonder why the tesla board hasn’t done anything about musk since it appears he is intentionally trying to tank the stock for some reason?  I know he hated twitter and the content moderation that kept the worst of the worst right wingers off the site but he is now running up against EU and UK regulations that require moderation and it is going to cost him millions after he just fired everyone at the company that did that task…and facebook just got a 230 million dollar fine in the UK for not doing enough to keep banned content off the site…so what the hell is his endgame? I know I used to like musk for the innovations of spacex but I’m done with him…I’m off twitter now and refuse to watch the spacex launches until he is gone…I really do hope he goes broke…so any of my readers who use twitter, please go over and try Mastodon…I find it relaxing and there are no ads….or Nazis…geez…

Signed up for Mastodon today…

Well…as you all probably know, Elon Musk bought twitter and is doing his best to destroy it by letting racist right wing bullshit to flood the site…and firing almost everyone who worked there…including all of the content moderators who made sure there wasn’t the fascist crap that dominates some sites out there…so lots of the people I follow have been searching for a new social media site that won’t allow the right wing bullshit to pollute it…and lots of them have migrated to Mastodon so I signed up for an account earlier today and that’s why I’m late getting to this one today…damn, the last thing I wanted to do was to learn how to run a new platform but the deterioration that I saw in twitter left me no choice…and with ole elon today blocking anyone who disagrees with him…and that means any one on the left who criticizes his repub cronies…so I guess I’ll dig deep and learn a new site…maybe it will give me something to do…who knows? At the very least, I don’t want to support anything elon anymore…we don’t need more billionaire assholes ruining this country…

Poor Elon…

Well…I really don’t know why the cult has grown up around ole elon…I mean how hard is it to get rich when you start out with over 400 million dollars from daddy’s emerald mine where he made his money paying slave wages in the apartheid South Africa? And now, it looks like his not too brilliant move of buying twitter is going south in a hurry…especially when it looks like he paid about ten times what the company is worth and twitter has never made a profit…so how smart is it to take on 44 billion in debt when there is no profit to pay it back? Ole elon’s moves since he bought the company are head scratching at best…I mean firing half of the people who built it and are the ones who know how it runs and allowing the haters and trolls free reign so that hate speech, antisemitism, and maga bullshit has flooded it to the extent that most of the major advertisers have run for the hills…how does that make it more profitable? In a normal takeover, there are assets that the company taking over another can sell and strip all the money out of pension funds, etc. and then run away with everything that is worth anything…but what is there in twitter that is worth anything? No buildings, no factories, no stores, no inventory…the only thing that has any value is the goodwill of the users that is rapidly being killed as elon shows everyone he is just another petty little maga asshole and most thinking people don’t want to have anything to do with him….I really don’t think he’s playing 11 dimension chess on this one….just another rich guy thinking he knows more than anyone else….geez…

57 Russian bots…

Well…when ole elon said that nothing would change on twitter after he took over, he was either stupid or lying…since he took over last Friday, I’ve had 57 Russian bots follow me when I had a total of about 8 followers who were real people before…and there is really no reason for anyone to follow me on twitter, I don’t post there very often and when I do, it something about music or riding the bike or some such nonsense that it would not interest anyone but me…but now I have over 60 followers and the funny think is the pictures they have attached to the accounts are all good looking women…kind of  a clue to the fact that they are Russian bots. So, again ole elon is doing Russia’s work for it by cutting the content moderation and the bot detectors back to the point that most of twitter is going to be bots, not anyone you want to hear from…and that will mean that Russian disinformation and lies about our elections is going to explode over the next week…basically making twitter useless…good job elon…geez…

It’s bullshit, twitter has changed…

Well…you know, I had to laugh when ole elon tried and tried to convince people that twitter wouldn’t change when he took it over…but it has already…I used to get a lot of topics for my political stuff from the news feed I had set up on there but as soon as elon took over, my entire feed disappeared…every person I followed, every news site I read was gone and I’ve spent the past couple of days trying to recreate it but it’s not the same…there used to be surprises every day from random websites that ended up in my feed, but that doesn’t happen after elon…it used to be surprising when their algorithm saw what I was interested in and found other sites that fit right in…like music users that would end up reminding me of music that I had forgotten so I could go find it again and listen to it…and the right wing bullshit and lies that are now allowed on the site when moderators used to kill that crap is inching me ever closer to just saying the hell with it and deleting my username and trying to find somewhere else to get my news and a few smiles every day…and a lot of the lies are from elon himself since he is a maga asshole who just loves trump…if there was ever a good reason to tax the shit out these billionaires, this is it…they are being allowed to ruin this country and steal everything that is not nailed down…if there is anyone out there who enjoys alternatives to twitter, please let me know…I’ve had enough…

Elon Musk is a terrible person…

Well…it it wasn’t already bad enough that ole Elon has gone full maga and joined the rest of the Putin worshipers in the repub party, this week he showed just how terrible of a person he is…after his conversation Putin earlier in the week, ole Elon started pushing the Russian line that Ukraine should “negotiate” with Russia and let them keep all of their occupied territory…and that was bad enough but his latest support of Putins terrorism by threatening to shut off his starlink internet satellites that Ukraine depends on for communication since Putin shut down internet service to Ukraine at the start of the invasion is even worse…and he says it’s just that he doesn’t want to pay for it anymore…which he hasn’t since the US government paid for it up until now…and the cost of his starlink system is going to be there even if he cuts Ukraine off since he already launched the satellites and put they system together….so what is the reason he is threatening Ukraine now? Could it be that this subject came up in his little “talk” with Putin? No matter what the reason is, it IS a reason why to tax these asshole billionaires so they can’t affect the US’s foreign policy just because they are rich….I know I’ve called for a lot of boycotts since I started this site but can you think of a better person to make less rich that ole Elon? Yeah, with this crap, I didn’t think so…I’ve even taken to not watching any of the Space x launches anymore…and I sure wouldn’t ever buy a Tesla with how crappy their quality is….and my carbon footprint from my Miata is as low as a ICE car can go with driving less than 30 miles a week so it wouldn’t help the Earth anyway….Boycott everything Elon…

So now Elon Musk is a Russian agent…

Well…a long time ago, I thought that ole Elon was actually not a bad guy even with the racism that is rampant at his Tesla factory in California…but now, with his choice to pal around with trump and his minions, he is showing he is just another maga asshole and that fact was further highlighted with the revelation that, before he commented that Ukraine should “negotiate” with Russia and that Crimea should stay an occupied Russian territory, ole Elon talked personally to the war criminal Putin to get what talking points Putin wanted him to say…now, if I was elon, I would be registering as a foreign agent of Russia before the feds show up at his doorstep…or better yet, if you think so much of Putin and Russia as the whole repub party does, I don’t think anyone would miss you if you moved there permanently…I sure wouldn’t miss your bullshit or you letting the criminal trump back on twitter if that sale ever goes through…this is how you treat a country who welcomed you from South Africa? Now, I’m as big a free speech supporter as anyone, but when you consort with our enemies and push their propaganda, that is giving aid and comfort to the enemy…and that is the definition of treason….better lawyer up…geez…
