Elon appreciation thread

[Digger88]

it sounds tempting but he doesn't believe in censoring dissenting views (me too) self-moderation in most cases, community notes etc keeps things in check while allowing people to say whatever they want as long as it's legal

Elon Musk sues Unilever and Mars over X 'boycott'​

"Elon Musk's X/Twitter is suing a group of advertisers and major companies, accusing them of unlawfully agreeing to "boycott" the site.

It has filed a claim against the food giants Unilever and Mars, private healthcare company CVS Health, and renewable energy firm Orsted - along with a trade association called the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) - in a Texas court."

Seems like he's acting like an entitled brat....
I hope he doesn't try to make everyone sign up on X....

or.. if you read Linda's post (CEO) (you didnt) youd see an organized effort to suppress businesses from doing business with X bc theyre not state approved and dont silence nonconforming accounts ie collusion, anit trust and rico etc we'll see what the court says.

they have plenty of crazy left wing accounts too so everyone is fairly represented and of course its free to log on and post

Entitled brat....

but correct

don't really help Tesla

The biggest threat to Tesla are the Chinese EVs. While the domestics (and Euros) were asleep during the past decade, the Chinese finally figured out how to build cars (and not just EVs). There's a reason for the recent 100% tariff on Chinese cars; they would eat our lunch.

This is a neat channel to get up to speed and what they're up to: https://www.youtube.com/@Wheelsboy/videos

Biden with his Green policies are benefitting Elon.

Considering the price of oil, Biden is benefitting the oil industry. If Kamala 'cracks down' on oil, the price of gasoline will explode. The green agenda has no benefit to anyone. Forcing lithium batteries down everyone's throat will end badly and thwarts efforts to find a battery source that is better and has a higher energy density. Hopefully, a source not given to huge electrical fires.

When megabillionaire Elon Musk drove a global advertising activist group out of business this week, he was putting Donald Trump's tactics into practice. And both men are teaching a lesson to conservatives everywhere: When the right goes on the offensive, the left flees the field.

In the Musk case, the owner of the social media platform X declared open war on an outfit most Americans had never heard of but was wielding pernicious influence over their lives -- The Global Alliance for Responsible Media.

In a post on X to his over 193 million followers, Musk publicized an announcement that X had filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against the World Federation of Advertising, GARM's parent organization, charging it with organizing "illegal" boycotts of businesses based on political biases.
