“If you are not part of my website your vote does not count ha ha ha”
Not even a joke though. That is inevitable.
Geeze… so step 1. turn twitter into a racist cespit that only racists can stomac it. Step 2… use it as the platform for direct democracy…
Well to be fair, and I do not personally believe this is the right thing, no one said democracy needed to be inclusive. In fact for most of history democracy has been the opposite. So it checks out.
Is there a form of government that is inclusive? Seems to me that the practice of working to ensure that underserved demographics are represented runs counter to the thinking of the average power hungry dickhead who gravitates toward politics
no one said democracy needed to be inclusive
I say that.
The whole point is for it to be inclusive. Yes it has never fully lived up to that potential but the people fighting and clawing for the last few hundred years have brought it closer and closer with time.
X users… (an echo chamber of racist nut-nuts)
Didn’t the guy quit though?
I remarked on that at the time.
Edit: Mbin does something new with fediverse links that totally butchers how this is embedded in the text I intended. Not sure if it just looks like a sentence with some hyperlinked text to Lemmy users.
It does.
Good chance he was pushed by someone with actual power because of his views on Israel and this is all about Musk showing all the racism the media is running with instead was fine.
They were racist remarks. Not inappropriate remarks.
Self-labeled no less!
Exactly.
According to NPR :
https://www.npr.org/2025/02/06/nx-s1-5289337/elon-musk-doge-treasury
“You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity,” the account wrote in September. “Normalize Indian hate,” a separate post from that month read.
In July of last year, the account posted: “Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.”
In other posts, from December, the account pushed for repealing the Civil Rights Act and shared: “I just want a eugenic immigration policy, is that too much to ask.”
And these posts were made like five months ago.
This is the guy who has full unfettered admin access to Treasury Department, in case you were wondering.
I’m honestly not sure why Elon is going through this theater. The guy almost certainly didn’t lose that access when he “resigned.”
So he polled a bunch of bots and racist mother fuckers to see what to do with the racist mother fucker?
Not event that. Why would he do that the hard way?
He just published a result that shows people agree and that’s it
I polled myself. I say Musk is a Nazi who should be tossed in front of the nearest self-driving Tesla.
Clown country entertaining a clown immigrant.
Pathetic.
“so I asked my sock puppets, and they said he should be rehired”
“Haha, it’s all right out in the open, look at how terrible I can be and no one can do anything about it.”
“Hired”
I’m surprised anyone besides Musk is getting paid for this
somebody needs to SHOOT… this guy up with heroin so he’ll just relax
Bullets would give better results.
I don’t know man, I’m just talkin’ bout shootin’ musk up with heroin
Stuff moved so fast that I can’t keep track but…
I feel like groyper-racist-doge kid’s bad tweets were found, they reflexively fired him, Vance chided them for being into cancel culture, musk polled x and they’re gonna rehire him, all before the media even had time to spin up any original outrage.
“Welcome to your new government, please use Twitter to vote for the foreseeable future”
