I'm going to ignore the fact that Elon didn't literally do everything to make these rockets work and that actually many dozens or hundreds of engineers/scientists were involved and just say 'u mad'.

So because he's done some good/great stuff it means the stupid/bad stuff he does can be ignored?

He bought a social media company and made it less advertiser friendly, that's apparently some huge deal, people really want their speech regulating by the HR and Marketing departments of top 500 companies because evidently they are almost very literally sheep.

It’s a shame that this non-event happened two years ago and has added absolutely nothing to the advancement of mankind. Should’ve shown a video of the Falcon 9 - now that is a machine worth talking about and shows what happens when engineers can play with the unlimited money cheat turned on.

The funniest thing about this post, is it sounds like you read the various criticisms here about Elon and then have to immediately watch a positive video related to him, to try and counter the negative thoughts.

That doesn't answer my question but we all know the answer anyway.

Imagine? Being offended that people are indifferent to the billionaire you simp. To make you feel better you run off to your bedroom and get under the covers to watch a Falcon 9 take off or a Tesla video.

To a business that relies on advertising for the majority of it's revenue, then just maybe.....

silly rabbit - isn't it just twitters new algorithm, X's are judged pro/con Musk and your feed will present a net zero total , versus politics where silos are welcomed.

He wants Twitter to first and foremost be a platform that (for the pedants I'll prefix this sentence) largely caters for free speech. Secondly, he would also like Twitter to at least break even and eventually become profitable, but not at the expense of allowing us all to speak our minds. We should be very wary of the amount of negative media coverage this man gets for simply buying a platform and allowing us to speak our minds on it.

The amount of negative media is due to the wide variety of stupidity that Elon outputs.

Twitter is not profitable with a ton of advertising so it’s not going to survive with less income.

You should consider Twitter important because it's essentially the main place for political and social discussions to take place. If people are getting banned for their views or opinions then we don't really live in a free society.
