    This guy does so much messed up crap that it feels like it's worth its own thread.

    Though, there's so much overlap with other topics that maybe it shouldn't? I dunno, that decision is above my pay grade.

    If not here he might at least squarely belong in the election interference category by now

    Yeah, that's why I was worried about the overlap. He clearly belongs in the election thread for his election interference. He also belongs in the Geopolitical thread for his interference there. The media thread too, for his misinformation campaigns.

    He's kind of a unique beast in that he runs a media company, he directly attempts to interfere with elections and politics, he's relied on for global security in some senses and he actively engages and encourages hate speech as well.

    That, and he makes really ugly fucking trucks too. And he's an overgrown man-child.

    He's probably going to run for president one day too. Hopefully he'll have burned twitter down so far that it doesn't do what he wants it to do when he gets there.

    Oh yeah...I forgot about the requirement to be a natural born citizen.

    And good news, someone's investigating him for his election interference stunt:

    Can we take bets on which one is going to look dumber at the end of it?

    What's the over/under on falsehoods per minutes?

    I just hope that they'll both be high off their minds while driving Trump's new cybertruck during the interview.

    Ol' Musky was forced to reveal who loaned him the money to buy twitter, and in (what should shock no one), it is revealed that it was Russia.

    And gee, why would the Kremlin want to transform our "digital town square" into a hate-filled neo-con playground overloaded with disinformation and manipulative propaganda? I wonder if the thought has ever occurred to this great genius

    So now the secret service has started looking into Musk after his assassination tweet…

    Nothing will come of it, of course, but I like that he’s openly cowering with fear about it

    I have little doubt Leon Muskovy was already under investigation as a propagandist.
