I really dislike how this has been shortened to 'consequences'

Musk is recieving the consequences of a CAPITALIST SYSTEM. It's not random consequences of society or wokeness or liberals or whatever. This is a very specific consequence you only get in Capitalism
Fair, but I was talking in the more immediate term of like, not being hauled away by security while the interview cut short

How do you make a non-racist, non-transphobic chat bot on *accident*?

Funniest bit is all them folks losing their shit over Musk's stupid woke AI paid 20 bucks for the privilege. Anyway

Musk decided that one of the few principled stands he ever took might have been a bad idea:


I guess he wants someone else to share conspiracy theories with. Will he hear the sound of advertisers running for the door from inside his echo chamber?

This is slightly out of date. He's already reinstated Alex Jones.

Being the chickenshit Musk is, he held a poll: hey, if the users voted for it, it must be okay.

Also a sort of faux democracy - I bet you that's not how he lets X (fka Twitter) run as a company for the important stuff like finances, features and all. Although maybe if he did, it would be doing better.

We know that for a fact: remember when he put it to a poll whether or not he would remain in role, and said he'd abide by the result? Then of course the poll told him to step down, so he just said it was a bad poll and didn't count.

Which totally doesn't bring any other nominal champions of democracy to mind...
