The Twit show Musk go on

Yeah I get it, they do very well, and his wealth has a critical mass that will never let up.

But at what point do things fail? Governments, businesses, societies?

Most of our society is built on trust.

You trust that a piece of plastic or paper (money) will buy you something, but it’s just a piece of plastic. You trust USD over Rubles.

We trust governments, until we don’t (like in STH Korea, and hopefully soon enough in Russia).

Bizarrely, people like Trump and Musk can do as they please, but it doesn’t seem to impact them or their business. A lot of people don’t trust them, but it seems to make no difference.

When do things get so bad and so obvious (Epstein, Puff Diddy etc) that the wheels fall off and it seems like it should’ve happened ages ago?

Interesting post on my Facebook feed.

BREAKING: Elon Musk’s former close friend Dr. Philip Low unleashes an absolutely brutal takedown of the MAGA billionaire by airing dirty laundry about his psychology — and a bizarre incident with his naked wife.

He said Musk is not a Nazi “per se” but could be something “much worse” than that…

“I have known Elon Musk at a deep level for 14 years, well before he was a household name. We used to text frequently. He would come to my birthday party and invite me to his parties. He would tell me everything about his women problems,” Lowe wrote on Facebook.

“As sons of highly accomplished men who married venuses, were violent and lost their fortunes, and who were bullied in high school, we had a number of things in common most people cannot relate to. We would hang out together late in Los Angeles. He would visit my San Diego lab. He invested in my company.”

“Elon is not a Nazi, per se.”

“He is something much better, or much worse, depending on how you look at it.”

“Nazis believed that an entire race was above everyone else.”

“Elon believes he is above everyone else. He used to think he worked on the most important problems. When I met him, he did not presume to be a technical person — he would be the first to say that he lacked the expertise to understand certain data. That happened later. Now, he acts as if he has all the solutions.”

“All his talk about getting to Mars to ‘maintain the light of consciousness’ or about ‘free speech absolutism’ is actually BS Elon knowingly feeds people to manipulate them. Everything Elon does is about acquiring and consolidating power. That is why he likes far right parties, because they are easier to control.”

“That is also why he gave himself $56 Billion which could have gone to the people actually doing the work and innovations he is taking credit for at Tesla (the reason he does not do patents is because he would not be listed as an inventor as putting a fake inventor on a patent would kill it and moreover it would reveal the superstars behind the work).”

“His lust for power is also why he did xAI and Neuralink, to attempt to compete with OpenAI and NeuroVigil, respectively, despite being affiliated with them,” wrote Lowe, who is himself the Chairman, Founder, and CEO of NeuroVigil.

“Unlike Tesla and Twitter, he was unable to conquer those companies and tried to create rivals. He announced Neuralink just after I invited his ex-wife, which she and I notified him about, to a fundraising dinner for Hebrew University in London (The fact that she tried to kiss me — I immediately pushed her away — while taking a photo at that event, even if playfully, clearly may have added to the alienation and possible emasculation he may have felt when she spoke to me in a pool at a party when they were together and she was naked. To not be disrespectful to her or to him, I stayed but looked at the sky whilst talking to her).”

“I fired him with cause in December 2021 when he tried to undermine NV. It is ironic that years later, he clearly tried to undermine Twitter before buying it, and in my view, blowing it up and using it to manipulate the masses to lean to the far right in country after country, including the USA.”

Lowe went on to outline some of the specific details about the infighting that stemmed from Musk leaving NeuroVigil — including that Musk leaked false reports to the media that he had invested more in the company than he really did. The two tussled over Musk’s right to transfer stock from the company.

Soon after, Lowe sent him an email saying the two should “cut ties here” and threatened to “shove my boots so deep up your derrière, legally, that your ■■■■■■■ contest with Bezos will seem like it was from another life, one you want to get back to.”

“Good luck with your implants, all of them, and with building Pottersville on Mars. Seriously, don’t ■■■■ with me,” Lowe added.

He then turned his attention to Elon’s recent Nazi salutes, stating that he did them for five main reasons:

“1. He was concerned that the “Nazi wing” of the MAGA movement, under the influence of Steve Bannon, would drive him away from Trump, somewhere in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, rather than in the West Wing which is where he wants to be. He was already feeling raw over the fact that Trump did not follow his recommendation for Treasury Secretary and that the Senate also did not pick his first choice.”

“2. He was upset that he had had to go to Israel and Auschwitz to make up for agreeing with a Nazi sympathizer online and wanted to reclaim his ‘power’ just like when he told advertisers to ‘go ■■■■ yourself’. This has nothing to do with Asperger’s.”

“3. There are some Jews he actually hates: Sam Altman is amongst them.” (Altman is the CEO of OpenAI and a frequent target of Musk’s ire).

“4. He enjoys a good thrill and knew exactly what he was doing.”

“5. His narcissistic self was hoping the audience would reflect his abject gesture back to him, thereby showing complete control and dominion over it, and increasing his leverage over Trump. That did not happen.”

“Bottom line: Elon is not a Nazi but he did give two Nazi Salutes, which is completely unacceptable,” wrote Lowe.

“At some point, it matters to few people if one is a Nazi or if one acts like one. My father was a Holocaust Survivor. 32 out of 35 of his family members were murdered by Nazis. My mother’s grandparents were murdered in Auschwitz,” he added.

Lowe wasn’t done there, and asserted that he himself is an “actual scientist and inventor” while Musk lies about his expertise and steals credit from his employees to pretend to be a “Supergenius.”

He mocked Musk for “paying people to play online games in his name to appear smart” and said that he’s a “so-called inventor whose greatest invention is his image.”

More bluntly, Lowe said that Musk is a “c*nt.”

He ended his post by urging people to speak up against Musk and “stop working for him and being exploited by him.”

Lowe concluded with a quote from Holocaust Survivor and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel: “Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

No idea if that is legit, or if it’s legit how accurate it is. But it sounds like it makes sense and would explain some things and his behaviour.

Be interested to see if that is in real terms (Musk’s) wealth going up, or media speculation.

It was known in the 80s that Trump wasn’t a Billionaire (although he had millions), but he got the newspapers in NYC to dub him a Billionaire in exchange for the info he would feed to the gossip columnists.

Also, look into that excellent ESPN 30 for 30 documentary about John Spano trying to buy the NY Islanders. President himself to be a mega rich Texan, and in the end found not to even have a million bucks - but he also got ownership of the Islanders.

I believe the numbers are legit.

His closeness to trump and Trump’s willingness to be corrupt is being priced into the value of his companies. Investors are basically assuming he’ll get sweetheart deals, generous subsidies, preferred treatment, and will not be subject to any meaningful regulation. His companies will probably absolutely mint it as long as trump stays in power and Musk stays in Trump’s favour.

Clearly it’s not just Musk though. All the bros lined up at the inauguration to ensure they lined their pockets.

They also scrapped their DEI programs, removed fact checking etc. which feeds directly into Trumps message.

Fair call, the challenge with satire right now is reality is becoming more absurd.

Again, at least one state wants to send you to jail for sending a nude to your fiancé.

This is a serious bill that will probably be passed, and the people voting for it know it’s unconstitutional but they’re going to make the SC rule on it.

And all of this goes far beyond pornhub. It goes to everything from Lady Chatterley’s Lover or I Was A Sub To A Brontosaurus and everything inbetween.

Some states want you to be put up on charges for sending a boob to your lover!

sigh
Others could elucidate this better, but it’s real and it’s happening and it’s…the most oppressive thing going on right now.

If it doesn’t scare you then you’re not paying attention.

I saw a post recently from one of the Bluesky devs, he agreed that there was a growing bot problem on the platform and that they were developing ways to combat it.

I’ve seen a stack of new followers in my notifications but then if I check their profile a few days later it is gone. So it seems they are doing a decent job of scrubbing them out. Legitimate followers stay there.

So if Bluesky has been growing rapidly, it is more liely that this is genuine growth from actual users rather than bot farms, which is pretty damn good.
