“The words ‘cis’ or ‘cisgender’ are considered slurs on this platform,” Musk posted in response to a man who claimed to have been harassed by the term used perjoratively.
Other parties (including the ones you mentioned) have sizable stakes in twitter, but they are much smaller than Elon's stake, not the other way around. (Remember, it sold for $44B, you can divide that by the numbers in the article by that to see how much each investor mentioned owns).
Musk knows that he needs to say/do outrageous things to keep receiving either attention on twitter or free press. He strives to be relevant to those who, for some reason, take him seriously. He's a pathological liar willing to say whatever ridiculous thing makes him appear as relevant.
exactly this. what a sad and incompetent sack of shit he is.
pleased to see mastodon continuing to grow, because i'm so happy with the content i see on there. i actually enjoy browsing the "explore" tab because unlike twitter, it's not all drama bait for the sake of driving up engagement statistics to please a board of shareholders. it's just real people posting cute tidbits about their personal lives
Also to mask the fact that his leveraged buyout of Twitter was always going to kill it. There was never any way the business could support $13bn of debt without further investment, but with Musk acting like a clown most people will think it failed because of his mismanagement, rather than as an intentional strategy to divide the voice of the people.
They're called fascists. They'll bang on and on about how your rights are being taken away so you should empower them to protect you. Then, the second you do, they'll be the first to take away the rights you thought you were protecting.
