Why is everything Elon scam-ish?

I know,right!?
Look at it.
When it got launched I was so excited to see it, was truly hoping for a couple models, maybe road and MTB and see how they try and pull off that wheels set for an off road rig.
 
"Dorsey has been more vocal than ever before in recent days following the Twitter board, which he is about to step down from, desperately attempting to stop Elon Musk buying the platform."

On Saturday, Dorsey said the board’s attempt to block the takeover is typical of tactics that have “consistently been the dysfunction of the company.”
 
The hubless wheel set MTB frame Tesla released at the media day look dam similar to another hub less bike by a completely different manufacturer. Can't remember who made it though...nonetheless, it is already on the market.

This is what I harp on about some Forum members dont understand. Might not agree with some views but that is what free speech supports.

Blocking is free speech also but Elon has it right on this topic. Nothing Skittish.
 
Just to add for those who haven't heard: Reuters is reporting that Elon has been able to acquire Twitter.. Reuters offers plenty of lies, but this seems true on the face of it. I suppose something odd might still happen.

Later:
Yes it is true that the offer is accepted by the board, but apparently there still could be some surprise

This is where you miss the point.

Twitter is not a government program. The owners are free to allow or prohibit whatever speech they wish. "Free Speech" does not mean the same thing as "Free Beer".

I Mr. Musk wants to run what is now his business that way he is free to do so (which is also part of what Free Speech means), but if he wanted to run it with any other rules on tweets he is also free to do that as well. Of course none of this is likely to make me use twitter or pay any attention to it.

Nope, I didnt miss it.. Their claim "Free Speech" not mine.. I understand where they sit on this one..

Another funny

Tech employees are much more liberal than their employers — at least as far as the candidates they support​

Cant call it free speech when in reality it is just a group think tank for the Left (Libs and Left wingers). Now I understand there are exceptions to every rule.. But my point is if you stand back and look you will see the Dangers that are among us... Pretty sure we have seen this before... and like then, people ignored and made excuses.. We are close. The only thing is (like last time).. it will affect everyone, not just the ones you dont like what they say.

The Nazis wanted Germans to support the Nazi dictatorship and believe in Nazi ideas. To accomplish this goal, they tried to control forms of communication through censorship and propaganda. This included control of newspapers, magazines, books, art, theater, music, movies, and radio.


For those interested in history and what is coming.


The 8 steps to communism​



These are the eight levels of controls by Saul Alinsky to transform a nation through socialism into communism.

1. Healthcare – control healthcare and you control the people.

2. Poverty – Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you provide everything for them to live.

3. Debt – Increase the debt level to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes and this will produce more poverty.


4. Gun control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from government. That way you are able to create a police state.

5. Welfare – Take control of every aspect (food, housing, income) of their lives because that will make them fully dependent on the government.

6. Education – Take control of what people read and listen to and take control or what children learn in school.

7. Religion – Remove belief in God from the government and schools because the people need to believe in only the government knowing what is best for the people.

8. Class warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Eliminate the middle class.
 
They loved censoring of the President, explaining that it was not government, it was business. Run by BlackRock, billionaires, Saudi princes, etc.
Now they shriek that a billionaire shouldn't be controlling the public square...but until Elon stepped up, it was just dandy. They ever called for more more more.

They have people virtually begging to have their money sliced in value.. It's incredible. It's not as if governments pay for the wars out of tax money they collect. The costs are to be borne by the young generation who will not be able to OWN homes no matter how hard they work. What a scam.

 
Looks like Elon has Twitter caught in the act of defrauding investors....deal is on hold, seeking investigation. They seem to have been inflating user numbers in order to pump up people they like...how else to you explain Obama losing 300,000 followers in one swoop, as time to turn over the keys approaches?
Twitter doing the Enron dance soon?
THAT will be fun. Their legal was in tears from the start.
He may be able to buy it much cheaper.
