Elon Musk reveals Twitter takeover driven by 'woke mind virus' that infected his trans daughter

Tech tycoon uses interview to open up about his battle for social media giant as well as his concerns at 'full communist' family member

What a load of trash.

Musk tried to artificially raise the stock price by speculating, and was legally forced to make good on his advances lest he face a bunch of lawsuits

To put 44 billion into perspective, if each dollar was 1 second of time:

40,000 seconds is about 11 hours

4 million seconds is about 46 days.

44 billion seconds is about 1268 years.

This is why you don’t write your own article titles. The first sentence is confusing and doesn’t identify who “she” is. Only after reading the second sentence do you have some idea, and the order is still confusing.

Somehow both unbelievable and completely believable that he is going to try and blame his child for making the stupid decision to pay so much for Twitter and for waving due diligence, which would have given him space to back out of the deal.

Abusive parents regularly blame the children they abuse for “making” them do the abuse.

You’re sure proving her wrong, right Elon? …Right?

They always tell on themselves.

I’ve hypothesized before that he just bought Twitter to destroy a platform for “woke” people, but it’s still weird reading it out like this. This whole thing reads like destroying one of the biggest social media platforms while wasting billions of dollars is about the same level of investment for him as buying a new phone is for me. Not insignificant, but also something he just does on a whim. And honestly I think his daughter will not exactly like him more after this lol. Rich cunts like Elon buying whatever they fancy just to gain more power is exactly what she’d hate if the article is to be believed.

Based on what?

If he spent more tike with his daughter instead of running these businesses she wouldn’t have turned out like your typical alt left extremist leaning lemmy user.

If you mean he would have had more opportunities to indoctrinate and radicalize her, I can’t dispute that.

She wouldnt be trying random things to fill the void in her life of daddy not being there.

To be fair it’s called parenting and raising your kids in your image. It’s not always a good image but it is what it is.

No guarantees. Sometimes parents provide an anti-example, no matter how much attention or abuse they spend on a child. But you can still pass on a bunch of pathologies.

alt left extremist

Please define this.

You already know what it is. You just want someone to spend your day arguing with. I dont have the time. You go far enough to the left or right and you end up at the same place. They want to burn things down and start over. There are tons of people like this on here. They justify their existence by making villains out of the other side.

BoTh SiDeS bAd!

If you draw two over lapping circles. There is the middle that is existing and not trying to destroy society. The middle consists of people from both sides. You wont find many of those people on lemmy.

Coasting in comfort on the genocide of others. You don’t have to kill or die, so you see nothing wrong. You’re blaming the people on the extremes for threatening your way of life, when the reality is that your way of life exists at the cost of theirs.

More like Elon was more interested in ruining one of the most popular was us poor people had to unite against the likes of people like Elon. I don’t think he’s smart enough to make that call on his own so I’m pretty sure he’s under the direction of someone else.

Seems awful weird to me that twitter, facebook, and Reddit have all had similar types of issues recently and resulted in dramatic user loss. It’s not coincidence, and it’s not for the face value reasons, it’s to remove our ability to organize against them.

I think the “enshittification” theory is a more likely explanation.

Yeah, no reason to attribute to malice that which can be explained by simple greed.

Musk is an idiot who bought Twitter stock, tried to pump and dump, waived due diligence as part of the pump, and found himself contractually obligated to buy the company. Everything since then is what Musk thinks are good ideas.

yeah there is no master plan he is simply an idiot.

It’s almost sad to see that he can’t see where the actual problem lies. Almost.

Imagine being such a good communicator that between sitting down to talk to your semi estranged daughter or buying a tech platform, you choose the latter.
