Musk, the "Free Speech Absolutist" and "Savior Of Humanity" rhetoric, and Elizabeth Warren

[Miles Archer]

I can pinpoint the moment where Musk pivoted from being a generally annoying tech bro slash media figure to the pro-MAGAt conspiracy theory troll he is now.

Elizabeth Warren said "We need to tax Bezos and Musk at the same rate as working class Americans.

He didn't like that.

Elon Musk calls Elizabeth Warren ‘Senator Karen’ in fight over taxes

That article was published December 15, 2021. The Twitter purchase was initiated on April 14, 2022 and completed on October 28, 2022.

Musk basically smokes a blunt and waxes philosophic on free speech, the future of mankind, etc etc etc, but this is about two things, and two things only. He bought Twitter to poison voters against Democrats in the November election because:

1). DEMOCRATS WANT HIM TO PAY HIS TAXES
2). REPUBLICANS WANT TO GIVE HIM TAX CUTS

I know he has no shortage of adoring fanboys, just like Trump. But this is ALL ABOUT HIS MONEY and nothing else.

3. What we're seeing in the MSM right now are "Super Tweets".

No longer being satisfied with being yet another voice twittering away, we’re being shouted at with nonsense by those who can afford a mouthpiece of such magnitude. It’s all bullshit.

It’s pretty obvious to those who never bought into the Twitter phenomenon.

See EarlG’s enshitification (of basically everything) thread for background.

4. I hate to judge people, but

he is one of the few African Americans I dislike. Has nothing to with his skin pigmentation.
