In a series of posts on X Monday night, Musk said that he would not want to grow Tesla to become a leader in artificial intelligence and robotics without a compensation plan that would give him ownership of around 25% of the company’s stock. That would be about double the roughly 13% stake he currently owns.
Just casually asking for a roughly 80 Billion dollar pay raise. But at this point would Tesla be better off without him?
This is a joke, right? He brings back nazis under the guise of “free speech” while also doing this: X / Twitter purges then reinstates journalists, podcasters, and leftist accounts critical of Elon Musk.
Right, he isn’t entirely consistent.
But it is also not the case that he is bringing back literal Nazis - last I checked Jared Taylor was not reinstated, Andrew Anglin is nowhere to be seen, and Kanye West was banned after his remarks. I think the list goes on- every once in a while you do see the Nazis complaining about this because, of course, it isn’t hard to stay on that platform… Which si also why it’s silly he didn’t bring Jared Taylor back on - he was not removed because he said any slurs or was obscene, but was simply removed by Dorsey and the gang because he is an open “race realist.”
Of course, I was flabbergasted when I saw that they would treat “from the river to the sea” as a call to genocide on X, and I really felt like he completely dropped the ball there. Nonetheless, it was a general improvement, though it is not what I would have envisioned.
(Besides just the fact that it’s not true. There are plenty of alternate reality stories where the Nazis won; they just don’t like those because they’re still the bad guys.
Just in case you needed evidence of alt-right racism on Twitter, here’s some from today.
