The Twit show Musk go on

Anyone else here think the team behind The Onion might be playing a bit of 4D Chess with Elon Musk?

The Onion bough InfoWars and its assets after a court ordered sale, including its X account.

Elon is going to court to argue that InfoWars’s X account is the property of X.

Perhaps The Onion is setting a trap, by having the courts say, yes, X (Elon) owns X accounts, thereby removing safe harbour protections and opening X up to a tsunami of defamation lawsuits.

I’m way more impressed with the sparkling wordplay.

I wonder if one his twelve children is a six year-old.

Section 230 isn’t so much about ownership, but distinguishment between publishers and ‘information content providers’ (ie users). So X owning accounts wouldn’t really factor into that consideration because they don’t control the publication of that content

I think they did it purely to ■■■■ over Jones, and the FUAC (the ‘higher’ bidder)

Don’t you find, time after time, right wing nutjobs that have a particular bee under their bonnet about something, tend to have that particular bee hiding in their own closet.

Time will tell.

One of his incubators, the cybernetic pop starlet Grimes, looks about 12. Using MAGA metrics that’s grounds for a deep conspiracy surrounding Elon’s predilections.

Starship is incredibly close to taking us back to the moon and beyond.

Meanwhile, SpaceX are also leading the rescue mission for the astronauts that were stranded by Boeing/NASA.

If you let your political bias cloud your judgement about Elon and the incredible things he’s doing for humanity, just watch this video, look out the window at all the Tesla’s driving around and stfu.

I mean, you’re letting your glazing bias ignore his negative points, so you could equally stfu?

Well, I’ve just provided two incredibly positive facts, but you’ve provided none, so what are we doing here?

SpaceX isn’t in a competition with NASA, it’s a partner.

A much better partner than Boeing is these days.

There are far more people who will deny his bad points than people who will deny his good ones.

And one of those two groups is more feral than the other, QED.

We know what he’d call you for mentioning a bad point of his, for example. That’s a bad point.
