Musk is an African-American. So is Charlize Theron. But neither one is black. The PC term “African American” is simply an idiotic choice of words given that it is typically used to refer to a race, but instead refers to a polyethnic continent (Africa) and country/region (American)

Why is Elon Musk not considered an African-American?

Answer (1 of 29): Because “African American” really mean blacks (since they’re all from Africa). BTW, Musk’s mom is Canadian, and his dad likely has Dutch heritage (that originally colonized South Africa). We should end with the extreme P.C. BS. Blacks are blacks, with all due respect. The prob...

I had a friend of mine who was 100% Italian but his mother was born in Libya. which made her African. and made him half African American.

Of course I had to bust his balls all the time.

He caught the Romans off guard when he crossed the alps, and he plundered the countryside, but once they got an army together they chased him out. And I do recall Rome destroying Carthage shortly after.

I think I have a legit 1A violation by Tw*tter. They said I violated the suicide/self-harm rule, and I lost the appeal.

Maybe someone with an account can help get it in front of Musk for me? He would probably appreciate it.

No, you couldn't make your own Twitter, not with 100 times that money.

It's called the network effect. The power/value of a network is in the number of nodes (or in this case subscribers)

The infrastructure is a piece of cake. You could build a copy of the twitter infrastructure for $1M.

What you can't build, not for $10T is the customer base. That is the key, everything else is cheap and easy.

I agree. What I find interesting thou was when Parler launched and Twitter was hemorrhaging 10k users an hour to it. We all know what happened next to save Twitter. And save it did.

Twitter solely depends on conservatives engaging on its platform and that same group of complainers promote the platform and make it thrive. Today we have other alternative and yet the conservative talking heads won't put skin in the game and leave Twitter.

Twitter would be done in less than 6 months if conservatives stopped using it. The left wing users would leave because there would be no one to disagree with. An echo chamber of group think isn't as profitable..

Elon wouldn't have to spend a dime if people who value free speech left the platform

Just my two cents

Unless it is a 'gay' hookup site and a site for the mainstream news to report on what is trending on Twitter before they go to hook up with the gay person they met on Twitter.

What is a poison pill defense?

On April 15, Twitter’s board of directors adopted a poison pill defense to protect the company from Elon Musk. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO wants to buy the company for $54.20 a share, which could be seen as trolling the company, or a legitimate campaign to promote Musk’s idea of free speech on the...
