People are having fewer kids because Elon isn’t smart enough?

It's a typical lib response to denigrate someone who isn't aligned with their cause

CB 'moderates' despise him because their echo chamber insists he's despicable

Wow, ok, what have you done to make life better for the average human? My goodness Elon has made some major innovations

JohnnyComeLately

I agree - he is smart and has done amazing things for science and technology and the USA. But he is fairly criticized

Spoken like a true socialist

You know they choose to work for him, right?

Blue Cougar

Yes, I understand that. They should realize that Elon needs them more than they need Elon, unionize, and demand higher

OK...or, just go get a job somewhere else where they'll be happy

Look, all these people who just voted for Trump because of the "economy" and the pain of inflation should agree with me.

Socialism vs. Capitalism

Capitalism all day long.

Wages went up under Trump. They did not under Biden.

If you have data to back that up, then great. I actually don't think the POTUS has as much influence on the economy

Bright person with Asperger's syndrome and a workaholic with no appreciation

Archaea

Is he putting his assets in a blind trust? I can't imagine him doing that. He is

Jay Kay

8:38am

That he is autistic makes me appreciate his successes even more

vegas guey

9:37am

Asperger's is a high functioning level. It means he is disconnected from normal

Archaea

Somehow he has moved into a darling of the right.

He has done a lot to preserve free speech, no doubt. But he has also hurt free

Jay Kay

8:45am

I disagree, he has allowed the public to police dis/misinformation w/ community

phillycc

8:51am

You perfectly described free speech. Yes, people can say all kinds of crazy stuff & you figure out if/how crazy.

Soupie

8:57am

My problem is not allowing anything on his platform. Its that he posts lies and

Jay Kay

Then call it out when it happens. I trust you have some examples.

Soupie

9:16am

Its very easy to go on his X account and see the propaganda. He has retweeted

Jay Kay

9:24am

And look. The free speech process worked. It was proven false. Lots of crazy stuff gets put out there immediately

Soupie

9:44am

It was proven false, but not because Musk ever acknowledged it was false.

Jay Kay

If you don’t believe in free speech for everyone, including liars,

XORCoug

What makes you think I don't believe in free speech? I believe liars should be

Jay Kay

No, I don’t agree that they should, but I do believe they should be allowed to.

XORCoug

9:43am

Then we are in exactly the same position.

Jay Kay

If you believe he's hurt free speech, we're not. But that's fine.

Where did I say that?

RE: Where did I say that?

XORCoug

I did not make any relative comparisons between the competing issues

Ah, gotcha. Yeah I can understand that. I think he does rely on the community

I don't think the marketplace of ideas can efficiently filter truth and lies if

Sorry, I wasn't clear. He might be right with his approach, but I don't think so

Thanks. I agree with your posts.
