Yea that, or its nostrabullcrap:). To my mind something recently radicalized Elon from eccentric to full scale asshole, was it Covid, the divorce, his trans kid? Dont know. Something. Maybe it was Amber Heard.
Anyway, maybe I can search my posts on this site ~10 years ago and find a prediction I made that came true. Then I too can put on a nostra badge. *SEE* *I WAS RIGHT* ... about something.
To be fair he's always been an asshole that has treated his employees like shit and customers as free beta testers with little concern about safety or truth. He has much more recently also turned into a mouth piece of the right.

it's ok, don't feel bad. I didn't call Elon what he was 8 years ago, but I started to truly see it at least a couple years before we got to truly see what he is this past year. And I was not the only one by far. Many of us saw the signs. Plenty of people said we were alarmists then.

I fuck up plenty. But I'm more right than wrong about right wing loons. My calm chill intellectual liberal friend Chris said no way they would overthrow Roe when that leak came out of the Supreme Court. He still could not see the true evil that a majority of the GQP is now. I said oh fuck yeah they will, it's happening. Now we have women almost bleeding to death from forced miscarriages, and teenage rape victims having to flee states to get an abortion. This has happened numerous times on various issues.

The GQP is in a race to the bottom. It's not hard to predict what they will try to do and try to get away with.
Man I called it in January of 2009. It was extremely obvious a couple years ago.

Even at pedo guy I have an impossible time believing that anyone could predict the level of batshit we’ve been seeing the last couple of years. Yea sure. He’s an asshole cause xyc 10 years ago, but to say anyone saw this twitter meltdown and hurt inner child syndrome we’ve been seeing lately. Nope. Anyway, im not super invested in this argument so… Ok :).

So, I didn't realize that Elon actually applies his racism.


After Black workers at a Tesla plant in Fremont, California, came forward with explosive allegations of racism at the company last year, the state Supreme Court on Wednesday issued a major ruling in the case, allowing the workers to seek a public injunction requiring the company to acknowledge and address workplace discrimination. In other words, the electric car manufacturer could be legally required to stop being racist.

So Elon wants OpenAI to halt their work on ChatGPT, cause SkyNet end of days shit and stuff.

At the same time:

Anyone wanna bet on the upcoming presser? :
Elon feels it necessary to develop a non-woke artificial intelligence for balance.
Some bullshit like that.

Sorry but who cares what he says anymore. He’s outed himself as a clown.

I have like 6k followers now so I pretty much ignore DMs. I never said anything about thinking it was a dating app, it was a joke, because so many DMs that appear as a chick (yes I am assuming their gender) trying to pick me up, but it's some kind of scam I imagine. I have not engaged with any. The ones I get now are links, so probably get a virus if I click on it.

When that dumbfuck regressive Squirrel comes in here and thinks y'all are doing it wrong, you know you are doing it 100% right.

He's like a canary in a coalmine, if his sensibilities are offended and he keels over, keep going, you are on the right path
