The man who was described as a genius entreprener and the richest person in the world is now clearly trying to turn Twitter into an "Alt-Right Troll Farm".

"Musk has welcomed neo-Nazis back onto the platform, engaged with them on his timeline, and posted multiple tweets that appeal directly to them."

(wtf, Musk's birdsite reinstate alt-right political fixer Roger Stone, who was banned for threatening a news anchor in 2017.)

"Elon Musk’s Not-so-Hidden Agenda"
(Nov 29, 2022)

?️ by https://jason-stanley.com

"Why did Elon Musk purchase Twitter? His official answer – to defend free speech and democracy – is so unconvincing that the question won’t go away."

“For powerful individuals democratic legitimacy is a threat, because it is a check on their power. Why wouldn't one of the world's most powerful individuals want to eliminate it?”

マスクがカニエ・ウエストをサスペンドしたのは、クックや他の広告主と話し合った成果ではあるんだろうな。
とにかく、反ユダヤカルトの扇動で一線を引くことがわかったのは幸い。

Across the United States, Elon Musk’s Boring Company shows up to pitch transport projects far below the cost of competitors. Local officials get excited and pursue them, for cost savings and to associate with Musk. In Ontario, CA, officials said, “it’s the Boring Company, so Elon Musk brings that kind of sexiness to it.”

But when it comes time for the Boring Company to deliver, it conveniently disappears.

イーロン・マスクの既存事業の内実に切り込んでいるパリス・マークス氏による米TIME誌記事。

? https://time.com/6203815/elon-musk-flaws-billionaire-visions/

「イーロン・マスクがより良い未来を築く天才であるという神話は崩れ去りつつあります。もう潮時でしょう。
数ヶ月前に書いたように、我々は彼がここ数ヶ月で悪い方向に転じただけではないということを認識する必要があります。
彼は常に我々に嘘を売っており、真の解決策から目をそらす輸送プロジェクト（※The Boring Company。ハイパーループは加州の高速鉄道事業の妨害が目的だったことが明らかになっている）ほど、それを示すものはない。
彼の没落はそう遠くはない」

※ "can't come soon enough"という言い回しは、機械翻訳や直訳では「すぐ来ることはない」になってしまうが、「もうすぐ来る」を意味するイディオム。

The Boring Company’s actions show Elon Musk isn’t ushering in a transport revolution; he’s stifling any hope of one. We need to wake up if we’re to ever build a better transport system.

In the same way that the Hyperloop’s purpose was to get California’s high-speed rail line canceled, the Boring Company is distracting from train and transit projects that aren’t as “sexy”, but could make a real difference.

#hyperloop #boringcompany #elonmusk #transport #tech

It's a miracle.
