Maybe he has a self-destruct program built into all of his Teslas. He’s going to start destroying cars and homes of those who do not yield.

It already comes with self destruct, they just marketed it as “Auto-pilot”

Elon revises Twitter’s policy on hate speech. It’s now allowed - just won’t be “boosted”.

And, just who will be doing that content moderation for you, Elon?

You fired all of your contractors that were responsible for that.

New Twitter owner Elon Musk is further reducing the number of workers who battle misinformation on the social media platform, with moderators who work on contract for the company learning over the weekend that they were out of a job.

Layoffs will have a "tangible impact on the experience of the platform," a former researcher at the social media company said.

Did y’all hear about the Twitter engineer who got laid off? He couldn’t take it anymore after he lost his job, so he went in the garage, closed the door, started his car and closed his eyes. He drifted away peacefully, and when he woke up 4 hours later he was still alive but his Tesla’s battery was dead.

It didn’t

Twitter was a low growth platform with comparatively little global market share that honestly didn't have much of a meaningful future as concepts and trends in social media left it behind, so it was going to happen eventually. Musk just shot in in the head while screaming that he was saving it instead of letting time chip away at it to give it a dignified death.

If you really want to go mask off with Elon, he grew up with essentially black slaves in apartheid SA.

This is Tesla.

I've thought for a long time that plantation owner was more analogous to Elon then Tony Stark.

That was kind of a long way to a punchline.
