@wdlindsy Elon Musk looks in the mirror and sees a caped crusader/hero in much the same way that Clarence Thomas looks in the mirror and sees a rich white man. #clarencethomas #ElonMusk #lies #mirrors

@Theosuwb I'll answer for him: Nah, I don't have a scrap of dignity and self-respect, but I'm the richest guy on the block, so I can do whatever I damn' well please.

@Runyan50 I so much agree. I've long sensed this with him. He has given me the creeps for years. When he bought Twitter, I shut down my account there the day he took control, and that's when I came to Mastodon. I wasn't about to put a penny in that man's pockets by having anything further to do with Twitter. He's a walking, breathing illustration of all that's wrong with the cult of rich men as geniuses. They just aren't — they've not geniuses, not redeemers, not innovators. They're exploiters.

@Tharpa Can you imagine Trump wading in anything at all other than what gets flushed down a toilet? I for sure cannot.

@DoesntExist I suspect you're right. I tried using AI a few weeks ago to generate an image of people celebrating, having a party. I made repeated attempts, and not one time in all the times AI generated images for me did the image contain anything other than white people. Never a single black or brown person. AI is a tool reflecting the values and worldviews of those who crafted it. It's very much the creature of exploitative libertarian techbros.

@mlbellar "We got here because of the misogynist thoughts and prayers of malevolent wealthy old White men":
Yes we did. And they're still praying and still malevolent.

@wdlindsy it's illegal to knowingly broadcast false information about a catastrophe, especially if such communications may cause substantial “public harm”
" Public harm includes direct & actual damages to people or property & the diversion of law enforcement or public health & safety authorities from their duties."
But Elon Musk & X are not regulated by the FCC. So, HOW DO WE STOP THISLink to FCC rules on FALSE INFORMATION/BROADCAST HOAXES https://www.fcc.gov/reports-research/guides/hoaxes

@wigbert Thank you. Yes, that paraphrase of Hannah Arendt's ideas captures her thinking very well, I've always thought.

I see a TV special here - Who has the biggest narcissistic ego, Musk or Trump. -

@spocko I agree with Robert Reich that from the American side, a good starting point would be to revoke his government contracts. And Reich also calls for boycotts of Tesla and Twitter (or as Musk insists on calling it, X).
