Uh... You know after he started dating Amber he could be seen with facial bruising several times, right?

Like, I hate the guy as much as anyone else, but he probably would've been a good witness on how she has an issue with violent behavior, just sayin'...

Why the fuck hasn’t been arrested for domestic assault? Oh, I know why, it’s because of her female privilege

Or because random baseless theory posting on NSG does not a legal case make.

Strange concept, I know.

I'd like him to not be 'responsible' in the way you'd most likely see it.


Really? Because I see him arbitrarily making rules, banning and unbanning people on a whim, and using it as a platform to promote his other endeavors. It's not going to be a "bastion of free speech" like some people say, it'll just be another billionaire's playground.

Or you could'a tried watching the trial and hear her admit she hit several times?

Or how 1/2 of her ex's, both men and women, talked about how she has abusive tendencies.

Or the fact that several partners of her have been seen with a noticeable increase of injuries after beginning to date her.

But we've already been over that in the other thread.

Two threads on NSG definitely makes a legal case.

No, what makes the legal case is she lost the defamation suit after she admitted to purposefully going to the media in order to destroy him after she got caught lying saying she never went to the media. You can add uncontrollable lying to the list of abusive behavior she exhibits.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to lose a defamation suit?

Musk seems like this weird combination of cypher and hot potato where people tie one end of the political spectrum or the other to some batshit thing he does. The left is supposed to love him because his company modernized the electric car (I mean, how big of an idea was it to realize that lithium ion batteries charged fast enough to start making EVs viable) and the libertarian leaning right are supposed to love him because he has the same grade school understanding of things like 'free speech' and taxes/regulations etc.

I think in the end he's just an asshole that no one really likes but at least hopes one of his random tangents pans out in your favor.

The next five years for that dude are going to be interesting. There are viable alternatives both in new companies like Lucid, Rivian, and strangely enough Fisker or from well established car manufacturers that have long established pipelines for manufacturing, distribution, and servicing as well as established relationships for people who say, for some reason despite dieselgate, don't trust Tesla but do trust Volkswagen or at the very least have a degree of confidence Volkswagen will exist in ten years. There will always be the Cult of Tesla but they might end up dwindling down to just a regular ass car club. Or he'll continue to stay afloat and say weird shit and overpromise things no one asked him for.

Eventually the Cult of Tesla will all wind up killed by their Teslas.

Didn't Elon Musk agreed with the the original creator of it that twitter should be an non-profit at least eventually? It's weird that profit motives is what's sinking this when both parties agree on everything including an end goal of public service. Would a lot of spambots scare investors without them knowing it or is elon scared bots have poisoned his "reasonable debate in the public sphere"?

And yet he is very very quiet. And made donations "in her honor" to the very charities she pledged to. Interesting.

a friend of mine who claims to know elon personally told me that elon musk received a vision from jesus christ that caused him to stop his efforts to purchase twitter because they are not the enemy , the true enemy is facebook owned by mark zuckerberg who obviously disguised as an alien, he is soon going to purchase meta and put a stop to the virtual mind-controlling illuminati technology embedded in the VR machines and free all good americans that have been microchipped by big tech

She had been -- for assaulting her girlfriend Tasya von Ree.
But there is a big, BIG bias against believing male victims of intimate partner violence.

I believe Elon probably figured out that people would not particularly take kindly to him banning a bunch of accounts in the name of free speech and then using it to Tweet shitloads of self-serving ads for his products. Much better to let someone else own it and allow him to tweet shitloads of self-serving ads for his products.

You really think that he was going to ban accounts just because he disagreed with their content and not because they posted anything illegal? He made it like that he was going to make Twitter a diet version of /b/ and /pol/

"Free speech" Elon doesn't seem to care too much about protected speech when it's referring to Tesla workers complaining about the company or attempting to unionize it but yeah he'll definitely be a force for good on Twitter and not ban all the people shitting on him constantly.

Given his efforts to suppress descent or criticism of him or his ventures, his track record doesn't match his rhetoric.

Hmm.

Well Rich, you know what? I agree with you. I don't think certain sections should have free speech. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to support that, so the next best thing is to support free speech for all.


Here's hoping Elon Musk will save you. Hopefully it's profitable or else he ain't doing shit and this was all a show to have naive, overly trusting conservatives help his stock price. :roll:
