    Can we please stop paying attention to this jerk?

    I know reposting his Tweets makes news sites money, and gets upvotes, and whatever, but for heavens sake, don’t feed the trolls.

    Musk is what over feeding a troll ultimately looks like.

      He has the president’s ear and is already contributing to wrecking the country with fascist tactics while being open about being a nazi.

      We can’t just ignore him anymore.

        Not to mention that he has enough purchasing power and assets to destroy entire countries without getting involved in politics

        We haven’t been ignoring him, obsessively covering his antics is exactly what elevated him and Trump to power, and its not going to fix anything anymore.

        We are preaching to the choir when we complain about it here, and absolutely no one who needs to know is is going to see it because they’re in their own little filter bubble. But it is validating X as a public platform.

        We have to deplatform these people and reach out to insulated bubbles.

      No. This nazi needs to be publicly scrutinized now, more than ever.

      Absolutely not. If you think he’s evil now, just wait until we stop paying attention to what he’s doing.
