Elon's response: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1889062013109703009 > Swindler In another tweet chain: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1889063777792069911 > Scam Altman

His boss called someone "Newscum". Birds of a feather flock together.

was looking for a musk margin call in 2023, no such luck, now he’s VP and markets are still fake

Tesla sales are collapsing globally partly due to Musk's mental breakdown and are not likely to recover much, especially since Tesla no longer really has a CEO.

I wish I could get paid $50bn to have a mental breakdown.

We'll see. After throwing out a few Nazi salutes, Tesla sales have been tanking in Europe.

Oh come on stop perpetuating misinformation. Unless Musk is going to Nazi rallies and jew hating I can't take anyone who believes this seriously.

How is it misinformation? It's obvious what it was. Doesn't mean he's a Nazi, maybe he's "just" a '90s era trolling edgelord. Come to think of it, considering his X shitposts he boosts to hundreds of millions of people every day, that's a good description of him.

[To people who think he's a Nazi: yes, I've read all the arguments, no, I don't care - giving him the benefit of the doubt still makes him a gigantic shitlord who think its funny to do Nazi salutes.]

You forgot the /s tag.

Musk has been going to far right rallies and jew hating for some time now.

Lol this article is nothing but conjecture written by someone who clearly already hates him

Well, I certainly hope people like sama are still willing to push back, and don't just bend the knee immediately to President Musk. Surely there's at least one or two people out there in Silicon Valley that still have a backbone.

I mean, Altman also wrote this ( https://x.com/sama/status/1882234406662000833 ): > watching @potus more carefully recently has really changed my perspective on him (i wish i had done more of my own thinking and definitely fell in the npc trap). > i'm not going to agree with him on everything, but i think he will be incredible for the country in many ways!

Mental breakdown?

No, he is greedy, this is greed. He is greedy for power and money.

As Terry Pratchett alludes to many of his books, the problems start when you treat other people as "things". And this is rife at the moment. So mental breakdown doesn't really cover it.

I don’t think we need to lie or be disingenuous about this gesture, Elon is not known for his hate of Jewish people. I think this obviously fake take helps him. There is enough to criticize in his actions.

European countries are quite capable of making their own judgement about a gesture, especially when it would be illegal in France and Germany. https://www.zeit.de/kultur/2025-01/elon-musk-hitler-salute-i...

German media has been extremely coy calling Elon out about it. You would think that they'd be all over this, but them phrasing it as questions and digging out the "roman salute" (that no one here has heard of before) has been an eye-opening experience.

As of a little while ago, he’s gone from X

Given that Musk is "White House Tech Support" can he actually ban him? Doesn't Ye(Kanye) have a first amendment right to be on twitter, since twitter is now run by a "government" official?

I hear he deleted his account rather than being banned.

"first amendment right to be on twitter" I would love to see that litigation. Especially when he's posting porn (generally allowed on Twitter even in the before times!) at the same time as there's a bipartisan anti-porn internet porn censorship bill being proposed.

wow I had no idea the level of discourse on that x website was so low, has it always been like this?

Wow, it's like 12 year old boys or something. Where the adults at?

This is the victory of Gamergate politics.
