Prediction: 2022-2023 Musk Will Affect the 2024-2027 Forum Same as 15-16/17-20 Trump
Quote | Reply
As the great Hunter S. said, “when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro”. Things are going to get weird (or even weirder) over the next weeks and months.

Elon Musk, whose Twitter followers are 80% fake and who uses cult science techniques to manipulate his real ones, is a chaos muppet troll who has been hired to fill the role of Donald Trump in the ongoing organized crime well-funded oligarchy project to turn disaffected citizens towards Fascism and Authoritarianism and overthrow the American government. He won’t care, because he’s just a highly suggestible sociopath who wants to get to Mars at all costs. It’s “The Mission”. Expect other true believer suggestible billionaires to follow, ie. Bezos. The part of Ross Perot still needs to be cast.

For some reason, several of the extreme right factions have decided that the reality bending (or focusing, depending on your tuning skills) app Twitter is the center of gravity (COG) in the Information Space, just as Ukraine is a proxy COG for Democracy around the world tactically in this fight. Tangentially, Tesla Stock will face a reckoning, *if* the market and the SEC allow it. Twitter is apparently the reality of record, and if reality is true Tesla’s stock price will continue to drop as low-talent Musk tries to replicate the Twitter genius of the former President. Tesla is a canary in the coal mine so to speak.

Meanwhile, the 5th Circuit conducted a supporting operation bigger than even the captured Supreme Court Roe decision in hamstringing the SEC, and the FEC has been jacked since December 2020, the two agencies that could investigate and unfuck this stuff. Add to those the insane social media moderation law Texas created. These are tells as to what the COGs are and what the possible ways ahead are. Given the depth of possible options for overturning the election, I expect that I’m missing several other lines of effort and operation (LOE, LOO).

Gen Flynn is crushing this. Deny the information space that the J6 committee and DOJ need to communicate and make an impact with voters. Deny the ability of the Executive Branch to enforce rules and investigate crimes that are targeted at undermining our currency and markets in a supporting effort to both deny the information space and undermine currency. Deny the will of the voters by owning all the Secretaries of State and Governors in swing states who would count votes or certify electors or allow people to vote in the first place. Deny the Legislative Branch the ability to address fake scandals by deadlocking the Senate.

Inflation, gas prices, J6 live hearings, repeal of Roe and follow-on protests and violence, Trucker Convoy (tm), tactical nukes from Russia, crypto Ponzi schemes imploding and people losing everything, and food shortages are all going to converge in June. People will also be clutching pearls over nonexistent crime and border crises. This will boil July, August, September and into Election Day in November.

June 2022. Everything everywhere all at once. Extremely loud and incredibly close.

How will the forum handle it? Will we lose 4 years to cultish fanboy worship like last time?

Except what is his goal? Popularity? Division? He can't be president. Does he have someone in mind?

His only goal is chaos, just like Trump. Other people who suggest to Elon and who hired Trump have goals. Overthrow the USG thru Traditionalism, Patriotism/Nationalism, Energy, and Currency.

Edit: The "goal" in 2015-2016 was "division", the goal this time around will be "bending reality". I wouldn't assume divisive content will be their strategy this time. They're much more into cult science and high control techniques than they were in 2016.

Prediction:

you will concoct a subject in your mind and write a lengthy illegible OP about it.

The people reading it will not know what the hell you are saying beyond a couple words and phrases here and there.

Some will ask you for clarification and your "clarification" will be even murkier than your original position.

Those that grasp onto a couple phrases like Musk and Trump that are so inclined will make some pithy post about Musk or Trump (because you know we don't have enough of that here, ammirite?)

After about 30 replies, half of them from you, this thread will die and you will move forward fully convinced of whatever you were convinced of before you started this thread.

No. The media was much more tightly controlled pre-internet. TV, Radio, print were all controlled by a handful of rich white people.

Rich people had the most influence during the newspaper days, there was no other way to get news. People like Hearst had a monopoly on public information.

Elon Musk gave us Starlink. High speed internet that is solid and dependable. I live in the middle of the woods. Even crappy DSL doesn't come up to our town road. And even if it did, there's no way we are pulling cable/dsl/fiber down our driveway that is 3/4 of a mile long. So I'm really thankful for Elon Musk and Starlink. We'd be screwed w/o Starlink. We took a gamble moving out here.

But sadly it looks like Musk is not who we had hoped he would be. I won't go into my own tirade about Musk. I read and hear about all this crazy stuff. Maybe like trail said, he's just angry at Democrats for not letting him do whatever the fuck he pleases.

The whole Twitter thing seems like a complete waste of money and time. If I had all that money, I'd try to do more to help the planet and people. Fuck Mars. Earth needs help. Pandemic, war, climate change, economic problems, gas prices, food shortages (thanks to Russia's invasion of Ukraine).

ETA: I am grateful Musk donated a lot of Starlink terminals to Ukraine

Death is easy....peaceful. Life is harder.

1. Run from crypto
2. Run from whatever Elon Musk says
3. The forum will implode over Musk stuff just like it did with Trump

You're not hearing me... 1) there is no downfall, he's always been this way; 2) he's been hired to play the role that Trump played in 2015; 3) the end goals of 2016 and J6 2021 and now are the same and from the same network, 4) the same network and social and psychological and cult sciences as back in 2015 will be employed and the forum will implode again.

I’m not sure where I’m wrong in saying media outlets are still owned by oligarchs, which was your point. The difference is Jones was projecting what he knows to be true, which is why he was hired to talk so much about it.

The Republican Party propaganda campaign probably began with Nixon in 1972 and then really ramped up with Gingrich in 1992 IMO. They both hated the way the media portrayed things because it was so different from their views in their own heads.

Finally, I’ll just add here that reality probably always has or had a liberal bias which is why it used to be reported that way and is what motivated Nixon, and is why Twitter is a target now. IOW, there was no corresponding Democratic Party disinformation program, and still isn’t… they’re workshopping pronouns and decision/choice.

We can check back in on this in June. Until then I am still shorting Musk and Tesla and Crypto.

I’m not telling you a theory, I’m telling you how it is. I think history to date would bear out that the extreme right can be correctly understood through the rule of projection, and that the extreme left has been captured by a well thought out and funded disinformation op also by the extreme right.

I think history also bears out that Trump captured a pre existing movement, just like he always did, and that he was hired for his particular ability to do this and his Twitter genius. He played the role of Ted Cruz, who was supposed to be president, and Trump never let Ted forget that.

The political middle is people committed to self rule, democracy, and the common good republic. If Ayn Rand had a child it would be Elon Musk.

At the end of the day, it’s no conspiracy that several disparate anti-democracy networks have temporarily aligned in order to push the USA towards fascism and authoritarianism.

We are reliving the 1930s again but with likes and retweets.

I don't necessarily doubt it, but do you have a source for the assertion that 80% of his followers on Twitter are bots and/or fake?

I have noticed a recent trend that people are now using the term "oligarchs" to describe the American wealthy now. Almost always associated with some negative slant or perspective.

The surge in recent usage to describe rich guys in the US, is most certainly linked to the current Russia situation and its oligarchs that are now prominent in the news. Folks here and in media trying their hardest to condemn/connect certain people by word association to the Russian oligarchs and what they are.

The OP is a big user of this tactic.

Rule of Projection: Elon wants to spike the deal because of “bots”.

That’s not really the point… the point is that a) the answers to all your network science questions are out in the open already, and b) if I’m right then 80% of Sen Bernie Sanders’ followers or Bitcoin accounts are probably fake and there’s implications there.

Seriously though, I don’t have it in front of me. It’s on Google.

Network science, organized crime theory, and artifacts preserved on the internet, Twitter, Facebook, Parler, etc connects the transnational oligarchs, not Eric Reid.

His goal is money. He's a grifter.


So why doesn't he like spending it? Why is he possibly thriftier than Buffet? Why does he laugh at Tesla stock price? Why does he admit that if he was spending a bunch of the money (which would require selling a bunch of stock and losing some control of his company) it would be a problem of excess wealth?

PS- His recent 2x baby momma said he is so thrifty he made her sleep on his mattress with holes over buying a new one. He also lives a fairly Spartan lifestyle, with a plane his main big expenditure because it is needed to be CEO of multiple major companies.

Your crybaby Musk hate is not only comical but very telling about how you choose emotional chaos over simple logic.

As the great Hunter S. said, “when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro”. Things are going to get weird (or even weirder) over the next weeks and months.

Elon Musk, whose Twitter followers are 80% fake and who uses cult science techniques to manipulate his real ones, is a chaos muppet troll who has been hired to fill the role of Donald Trump in the ongoing organized crime well-funded oligarchy project to turn disaffected citizens towards Fascism and Authoritarianism and overthrow the American government. He won’t care, because he’s just a highly suggestible sociopath who wants to get to Mars at all costs. It’s “The Mission”. Expect other true believer suggestible billionaires to follow, ie. Bezos. The part of Ross Perot still needs to be cast.

For some reason, several of the extreme right factions have decided that the reality bending (or focusing, depending on your tuning skills) app Twitter is the center of gravity (COG) in the Information Space, just as Ukraine is a proxy COG for Democracy around the world tactically in this fight. Tangentially, Tesla Stock will face a reckoning, *if* the market and the SEC allow it. Twitter is apparently the reality of record, and if reality is true Tesla’s stock price will continue to drop as low-talent Musk tries to replicate the Twitter genius of the former President. Tesla is a canary in the coal mine so to speak.

Meanwhile, the 5th Circuit conducted a supporting operation bigger than even the captured Supreme Court Roe decision in hamstringing the SEC, and the FEC has been jacked since December 2020, the two agencies that could investigate and unfuck this stuff. Add to those the insane social media moderation law Texas created. These are tells as to what the COGs are and what the possible ways ahead are. Given the depth of possible options for overturning the election, I expect that I’m missing several other lines of effort and operation (LOE, LOO).

Gen Flynn is crushing this. Deny the information space that the J6 committee and DOJ need to communicate and make an impact with voters. Deny the ability of the Executive Branch to enforce rules and investigate crimes that are targeted at undermining our currency and markets in a supporting effort to both deny the information space and undermine currency. Deny the will of the voters by owning all the Secretaries of State and Governors in swing states who would count votes or certify electors or allow people to vote in the first place. Deny the Legislative Branch the ability to address fake scandals by deadlocking the Senate.

Inflation, gas prices, J6 live hearings, repeal of Roe and follow-on protests and violence, Trucker Convoy (tm), tactical nukes from Russia, crypto Ponzi schemes imploding and people losing everything, and food shortages are all going to converge in June. People will also be clutching pearls over nonexistent crime and border crises. This will boil July, August, September and into Election Day in November.

June 2022. Everything everywhere all at once. Extremely loud and incredibly close.

How will the forum handle it? Will we lose 4 years to cultish fanboy worship like last time?

E


You need serious help.

Look, I’ve made some concrete conjectures… let’s check back in June/July timeframe.

The guy has done amazing things. I don't want to see someone so brilliant turn into a freak show.

I thought he did a pretty good job on SNL a little back. He seemed humble and even charming. Will Twitter be his downfall?


Yeah, just keep labeling anyone who calls out far left extremist woke joke fools a "freak show". You remind me of the fool twitter exec that made fun of people with asbergers... just because his new nemesis has it. Yeah, the woke liberals sure are nice people trying to get along...

I’m happy to say that I figured out #1 and #2 a while ago. I don’t think I had moved into the LR in 2016. So I don’t know if the LR will implode per #3.

Although Elon Musk is as chaotic as Trump, America is not the same person it was when Trump ran for president in 2016. America is paying attention. America has healthy skepticism. America is talking and arguing and INVOLVED in civic life more than before.

Plus, every year brings a new group of savvier voters to the polls. Thank goodness for the young people!

Nah. MattBK isn’t going to implode the forum. Other posters would need to match his energy, which people won’t do. We have been through the cycle of trauma, and it costs too much. We have learned the hard way how to achieve results. We are going to be more efficient going forward.

Fuck me! I barely was able to sort through the last similar thread from you Eric. This one is truly beyond my paygrade. So I ask you, if you can spare the time, to dumb it down for us old farts with no crypto and little musk understanding. You could start with a couple of concrete predictions as to how my world will change when I do tune in in June.

Thank you.

I am rooting for Musk and hoping for the best for everyone. If it wasn't for him, I'd still be on a crappy hot spot here in the middle of the woods since cell towers are not close to me and high orbiting satellite internet is the worst.

I don't really understand why he needs or wants Twitter but that is his prerogative.

The establishment is moving quickly. I don’t know if this is good or bad. Candidate Trump had no trouble with this sort of thing, it actually helped him.

As to my #3 prediction, MattBK is proving my point.

Nah. MattBK isn’t going to implode the forum. Other posters would need to match his energy, which people won’t do. We have been through the cycle of trauma, and it costs too much. We have learned the hard way how to achieve results. We are going to be more efficient going forward.

That’s true. I was more referring to his blind allegiance to the strongman avatar analog to last time.

The guy has done amazing things. I don't want to see someone so brilliant turn into a freak show.

I thought he did a pretty good job on SNL a little back. He seemed humble and even charming. Will Twitter be his downfall?


Yeah, just keep labeling anyone who calls out far left extremist woke joke fools a "freak show". You remind me of the fool twitter exec that made fun of people with asbergers... just because his new nemesis has it. Yeah, the woke liberals sure are nice people trying to get along...



Whoa dude, chill. You misunderstood my comment to Eric.


Yeah, you actually weren't being one of the crazy obsessed haters but I rolled you in with them...sorry.

Thank you.

I am rooting for Musk and hoping for the best for everyone. If it wasn't for him, I'd still be on a crappy hot spot here in the middle of the woods since cell towers are not close to me and high orbiting satellite internet is the worst.

I don't really understand why he needs or wants Twitter but that is his prerogative.

This forum loves liberal politicians. Anyone that doesn't bend the knee to woke liberal politicians is an enemy. They love it and cheer if a liberal politician "owns" someone with a statement, but go crazy if anyone says anything negative about their liberal heros. If Musk bashed conservatives and spouted their liberal talking points he would be their hero and anyone bashing him would be swarmed on and shut down. You new around here or something?

Tesla started right before the 2008 crash. No new US car manufacturers had suceeded in 100 years. Tesla stock did nothing for over a decade.

SpaceX nearly went belly up after it's fourth launch. If that didn't fly, there probably would be no SpaceX as we know it today.

Both of these were not easy markets to crack. The competition were some of the most powerful companies in history. The competition wasn't new industries like internet search or online buying, these were deeply entrenched companies with fat wallets and long histories.

No, not really. Signed up in 2015 but was on the Tri forum 100% until we moved off-the-grid to a very rural place right before the pandemic in 2020. Races canceled so more time to venture over to the LR.

I like to call myself a left leaning person on social issues, more moderate about some fiscal policies and libertarian about other issues. We have friends on both sides of the aisle and we all get along.

Are there any politicians you admire right now? maybe a good topic for another thread.

Yes many people lean left on ST but there are plenty who lean right. I do like hearing from both sides of the aisle but prefer when we are all more civil to each other. I think at the end of the day, we all want the same things right? Safe country, good economy, peace, future for the country's children, etc etc. We just don't always agree on the path to get there.

Death is easy....peaceful. Life is harder.

Thank goodness for government subsidies.

Tesla is a machine Elon Musk invented to turn government subsidies into cars and cars into carbon credits which he sells at an exorbitant profit.

This is the operative description or purpose.

Fuck me! I barely was able to sort through the last similar thread from you Eric. This one is truly beyond my paygrade. So I ask you, if you can spare the time, to dumb it down for us old farts with no crypto and little musk understanding. You could start with a couple of concrete predictions as to how my world will change when I do tune in in June.

Wouldn’t you rather talk about celebrities or sports scores?

This also begets an upstream discussion on what preferences are, choice, free will, etc. as well as who wants to know our preferences and why, what do they wish our preferences were, etc.

At any rate, leaning heavily on the game theoretical construct of “end game”, the fact that pro wrestling is fake, and the fact that 80% of Elon Musk’s Twitter followers are fake, here’s how I would to it, assuming my core thesis was government by the people is illegitimate or imaginary in such a way to render it illegitimate.

Stretch goal: overthrow the USG
Mid Goal: destabilize or render inoperable the USG (tax, spend, regulate, enforce law)
Achievable goal: make everyone feel helpless and disaffected so they stay home during the midterms suppressing the vote, ie. preferences.

1. Things are going to get very “weird” in the information space. It was a disinformation (info with pain) war, then a propaganda war (info hiding the truth), and now a cognitive war (info and disinformation attacking and harming your ability to think and reason). More tug-of-war over Twitter, more “Chris Rock getting slapped”, more Amber Heard, more pedo accusations, more “normies” suddenly doing a heel turn on social media, more mass shootings for disinformation effect. Flash to bang between shocking event and everyone getting synched up with unified talking points will be essential zero.

2. Things are going to get kinetic in the real world. Various disparate groups passionate about their issues whose sympathetic nervous systems are on high alert because of something called “reflexive control” will be brought together in time and space and violence will inevitably ensue. I don’t know which group you are in but I’m telling my group to stay home. If violence happens it will be exploited in follow-on or supporting efforts.

3. There will be lots of cases of Copfluenza this summer, not to mention gas prices rising to 2x previous historical highs. There will be a lot of media attention on “out of control” crime waves and high gas prices. The “border crisis” will be made to seem to be out of control. There will be a surge of prominent military figures in the MSM or the non-MSM chatter about the military will increase in order to signal “permission”.

4. The mafia cartel causing all of the pain will start to implode and eat themselves if and when the facts that are already available in OSINT finally bubble up into the MSM in conjunction with the J6C hearings. Things fail little by little, and then all at once. Corporations (once again) will make performative divestments before eventually getting back to business as usual. Imploding organizations and networks will double and triple down on their core ideologies in order to stem the tide of disintegration. The moment will pass but the networks will persist over time, propagating the movements until the next time.

5. Crypto will either crash, causing honest suckers to lose everything and thousands of suicides and hundreds of thousands of disaffected people ripe for radicalization to authoritarianism OR it will be pumped up by the mafia cartel causing all the pain, giving insane returns and yields and zoom to new heights encouraging authoritarianism. When this happens, it will either be banned outright by the USG, and then we can add financial war to the culture and civil wars we are already fighting, or, if it is not banned, it will be because of “regulatory capture” or “elite capture” and then we are fucked.

5a. Meanwhile, there will be a different tug-of-war over the meme stock “TSLA”. Information space will be flooded with disinformation as the market tries to correctly value the stock and the disaffecteds try to fight a proxy war thru the stock against “the establishment” on behalf of their sex offending cult leader. Not having the talent, drive, or criminal mastermind as the former president, Elon Musk will be even more in trouble with the SEC and we will see if his core thesis (which is the same as Putin’s) that the USG is not legitimate or not applicable to him is correct or not.

6. Putin and Putin adjacent leaders around the world will do things to get attention internationally. Extreme left wing and extreme right wing muppets will do things to get attention domestically. The core thesis (NATO, EU, USG, USD, rule of law, regulation, etc illegitimate) will be more and more out to the test. Seams and conflict points in the EU and NATO will be stress tested.

7. There will be a rush of actual or performative “preference falsification” (ala the end of Communism in Europe or the start of the Saddam regime in Iraq) whereby early adopters start to be joined by hordes opportunists signaling their “capture” by the mafia cartel they aim to please or appease. Ordinary people will be inundated with “message violence” aimed at inciting “preference falsification” in the general public in order to achieve societal or cultural “capture”.

8. Those of you who score high on the conscientious and neurotic aspects of the OCEAN big 5 personality inventory and who have “suffered” through something (nearly all of us) will be personally micro targeted by data science and evolutionary psychology companies on social media but also in your IRL networks, particularly if you or your phone attend or pass near a church.

9. There will be an avalanche of legal cases targeted at “delegation authority” or “unitary executive” theories, depending on which one serves the mafia cartel’s interests, in an attempt by capital to capture the state, ie. literal fascism. 5th Circuit and Supreme Court will do extremely lumber mental and jurisprudenciary gymnastics to connect a theory to a desired result in service of the core thesis.

Purely speculative wild ideas on my part:

Voting machine “projection” signaling covering up problems. Political party “projection” about vote stealing on the other side. “Secret servers” discovered and produced. Going back to 1992.

Jeff Bezos, after passing his ongoing audition, starts to signal either a presidential run or begins shitposting fascist/authoritarian memes attempting to build parasocial capital.

Arnold Shwarzennager holds a press conference or starts doing rallies around the country.

A lot more Madison Cawthorn style “reputational violence” firefights.

GEN Flynn goes public in service of Traditionalism or Theocracy with mask off. We are not a democracy.

As a distraction or feint or being thrown under the bus, or perhaps maybe even for legit reasons, Zuck gets pinned down by the USG finally, fulfilling his role of patsy bag holder for the mafia cartel. Elites and establishment will accept this knowing full well who was behind the curtain, proving the core thesis correct.

I've been saying that Musk is a lying sack of shit and crapping on Tesla for quite some time...

I didn't need him announcing that he's a Republican to try to cover for a story he knew was coming out to notice that he's a lying sack of shit.

But by all means, go on and buy into his nonsense about this story coming out because he announced that he's a republican.

And non MAGA folk are turning on him because of that...

Give me a fucking break.

Tesla doesn't really make much off of credits anymore. It's the other companies that are making electric cars but haven't sold many who are benefitting from the credits now. And these credits were available to any company. It wasn't even Tesla that lobbied for the credits, because they spend almost nothing on lobbying compared to the other auto companies.

But even with those other companies getting the credits, Tesla is still smoking them because they are able to make EVs more efficiently.

Same with me. Bend the knee? AYFKM? Based on my posts I don't bend the knee to anyone and I've been very clear about my feelings re: "the new Daddy" ever since I asked myself the question "who or what the f*ck is an Elon Musk?".

As to my OP, I think that although while MattBK is the prototypical archetype of post/poster/cult follower that I was predicting, my core thesis is already probably wrong.

Point is, a genius is somebody that can look at the same stuff everyone else is looking at and see it differently. He didn't invent anything, he's doing the same old thing (grifting) in a different and unique and genius way to great profit and with probably the most important industry to do it with.

And these credits were available to any company. It wasn't even Tesla that lobbied for the credits, because they spend almost nothing on lobbying compared to the other auto companies.

But even with those other companies getting the credits, Tesla is still smoking them because they are able to make EVs more efficiently.


Point is, a genius is somebody that can look at the same stuff everyone else is looking at and see it differently. He didn't invent anything, he's doing the same old thing (grifting) in a different and unique and genius way to great profit and with probably the most important industry to do it with.

E


Then all business is just grifting. I'm not sure why Elon needs to be an inventor. Outside of maybe Bell or Edison, I can't think of many well known business leaders who would call themselves inventors. AFAIK, Elon doesn't call himself an inventor.

Really, isn't that the goal of anyone doing business? To look at the same thing everyone else is doing and just do it better? Is that some kind of immoral crime I don't know about?

His goal is money. He's a grifter.


Grifter = A person who engages in petty or small-scale swindling.

Last I checked, Musk actually produces goods and services people want and pay for. Hardly a grifter.

I don’t care how many useful goods you produce, if you use cult techniques you are by definition a grifter.

I guess it depends on how you define "business". And if we want to differentiate or derivate "entrepreneur". I don't consider a meme stock or net worth that increases an insane 10x during a pandemic but produces a relatively small amount of an average product a business... that's more of a phenomenon. I would say the COOs of Tesla and SpaceX are good business people though.

The more I learn about Elon Musk is that he was born on third base and Peter Thiel happened to be there too (to Elon's great fortune) which is to say that my central thesis is that the people like Musk and Trump are savantesque ciphers hired to play roles by talented serious people like Peter Thiel. Sometimes the actor runs with the role and ad libs, sometimes they don't.

This leads to a deeper discussion of business and genius though, as well as the "reality" or "story" of corporations and stocks and soft money based net worth. Another interesting discussion would be the concept of "effectuating" and "longtermism". These are dense topics, I know.

Yeah, watching Musk forget his lines and implode on opening night gives me more respect for the former president… that guy took the ball and ran with it… the Jimi Hendrix of Twitter and mafia family grifting.

Edit: maybe being the avatar of a meme stock had something to do with it…. Trump was just Trump the brand but Musk is associated with a fake stock that can get real valued by the real market. Either that or people are tired of sexual assault stories but liked them back in 2016.

You’re proving my point… the COO of SpaceX keeps Elon Musk a thousand miles away from the company, because she’s smart.

Let’s try it this way…. Amazon prints money. Apple prints money. Tesla and SpaceX are just OK, as businesses.

Now the *story* of SpaceX is amazing…. they landed an MFing rocket on its tail on a moving barge in the middle of the ocean.

(OTOH, now that i think about it, that was done with government subsidies and government IP and tech from the 1960s IIRC)

One last try: Bezos mouthed off on Twitter this week too… what happened to Amazon stock?

Homemade saying:

"You have to tailor your bullsh#t to your target market of suckers."

Most proponents of Tesla - premium, electric powered, suburban sprawl:

1) Don't want their wives, and girlfriends to know that they idolize a "very douchy guy."

2) Don't necessarily want to believe ESG funds are suddenly a "scam" (because Musk's says so).

3) Don't want to support Trump and the GOP (because it's now convenient for Musk).


Honestly- I think Musk is totally screwed.

Maybe- the Tesla board can just oust him???

They might be able to prevent Musk from taking Tesla down with him.

Thank you for taking the time and adding some flesh to your skeleton thesis and writing it in a way that I can follow. It helped immensely.

Care to talk of the breaking evangelicals into camps or just try again with your para 8 OCEAN big 5?

My big five has always been Penn, Temple, La Salle, St Joe's and Villanova and of course there our 5 Eyes alliance too. OCEAN 5 is what?

Edit: forgot the amazing starlink and his satellite delivery system



shitweasel. That's funny. A new one for me lol

The guy has done amazing things. I don't want to see someone so brilliant turn into a freak show.

I thought he did a pretty good job on SNL a little back. He seemed humble and even charming. Will Twitter be his downfall?


Yeah, just keep labeling anyone who calls out far left extremist woke joke fools a "freak show". You remind me of the fool twitter exec that made fun of people with asbergers... just because his new nemesis has it. Yeah, the woke liberals sure are nice people trying to get along...



Whoa dude, chill. You misunderstood my comment to Eric.


Yeah, you actually weren't being one of the crazy obsessed haters but I rolled you in with them...sorry.


Thank you.

I am rooting for Musk and hoping for the best for everyone. If it wasn't for him, I'd still be on a crappy hot spot here in the middle of the woods since cell towers are not close to me and high orbiting satellite internet is the worst.

I don't really understand why he needs or wants Twitter but that is his prerogative.


This forum loves liberal politicians. Anyone that doesn't bend the knee to woke liberal politicians is an enemy. They love it and cheer if a liberal politician "owns" someone with a statement, but go crazy if anyone says anything negative about their liberal heros. If Musk bashed conservatives and spouted their liberal talking points he would be their hero and anyone bashing him would be swarmed on and shut down. You new around here or something?

No, not really. Signed up in 2015 but was on the Tri forum 100% until we moved off-the-grid to a very rural place right before the pandemic in 2020. Races canceled so more time to venture over to the LR.

I like to call myself a left leaning person on social issues, more moderate about some fiscal policies and libertarian about other issues. We have friends on both sides of the aisle and we all get along.

Are there any politicians you admire right now? maybe a good topic for another thread.

Yes many people lean left on ST but there are plenty who lean right. I do like hearing from both sides of the aisle but prefer when we are all more civil to each other. I think at the end of the day, we all want the same things right? Safe country, good economy, peace, future for the country's children, etc etc. We just don't always agree on the path to get there.

Interesting points and perspectives. I was joking about the "new" part, as it is a way of saying this happens so frequently only a new person would be surprised. I dont like the far left or the far right. But currently the lefties are far more numerous. I like reading their back a forth arguments, but there are clearly different rules depending on which side you are supporting. If a righty brings up something negative about a lefty politician it is defended vehemently or shut down by saying, yes we agree but you are making fool out if yourself for wanting more than 5 posts on your thread. They will then spend 40 pages circle jerking each other over a bad righty politician.

I dont know of any politicians I would say I admire. I dislike big government and prefer negative rights to positive rights. Classical Liberalism crossed with some Libertarianism. However most politicians seem like actors only preaching to their constituents and what will get them votes. A politician i would admire would choose to do what they think is right and not worry only about being reelected. Hell, even though I vehemently disagree with almost all AOC's politics I find her more genuine than many others. However it is hard to admire someone you think is emotionally batshit crazy about their socialism policies.

And to the last point, I feel the left leaning people on here seem to always be super angry, digitally shouting at opponents. I dont engage much any more due to it. Also the arguments really come down to who will continue to argue the longest, not who has the best points. Some of those people seem to live on here...

I've been saying that Musk is a lying sack of shit and crapping on Tesla for quite some time...

I didn't need him announcing that he's a Republican to try to cover for a story he knew was coming out to notice that he's a lying sack of shit.

But by all means, go on and buy into his nonsense about this story coming out because he announced that he's a republican.

And non MAGA folk are turning on him because of that...

Give me a fucking break.

Same with me. Bend the knee? AYFKM? Based on my posts I don't bend the knee to anyone and I've been very clear about my feelings re: "the new Daddy" ever since I asked myself the question "who or what the f*ck is an Elon Musk?".

As to my OP, I think that although while MattBK is the prototypical archetype of post/poster/cult follower that I was predicting, my core thesis is already probably wrong.

E

Prototype? You ate your own prototype, spewing crazy conspiracy theories with some interesting stuff mixed in. You make a bunch of crazy shit up because you don't like him. I'm not any persons fanboy, but I laugh at how much your types get their panties in a bunch over someone who doesn't bend the knee to the woke. Your rant sounded like spurned ex girlfriend. Reminds me of the below exchange from Private Parts about Stern listeners. How much time do you spend hate reading about Musk?

Researcher : The average radio listener listens for eighteen minutes. The average Howard Stern fan listens for - are you ready for this? - an hour and twenty minutes.

Pig Vomit : How can that be?

Researcher : Answer most commonly given? "I want to see what he'll say next."

Pig Vomit : Okay, fine. But what about the people who hate Stern?

Researcher : Good point. The average Stern hater listens for two and a half hours a day.

Pig Vomit : But... if they hate him, why do they listen?

Researcher : Most common answer? "I want to see what he'll say next."

I'm not any persons fanboy, but I laugh at how much your types get their panties in a bunch over someone who doesn't bend the knee to the woke. Your rant sounded like spurned ex girlfriend. Reminds me of the below exchange from Private Parts about Stern listeners. How much time do you spend hate reading about Musk?

Researcher : The average radio listener listens for eighteen minutes. The average Howard Stern fan listens for - are you ready for this? - an hour and twenty minutes.

Pig Vomit : How can that be?

Researcher : Answer most commonly given? "I want to see what he'll say next."

Pig Vomit : Okay, fine. But what about the people who hate Stern?

Researcher : Good point. The average Stern hater listens for two and a half hours a day.

Pig Vomit : But... if they hate him, why do they listen?

Researcher : Most common answer? "I want to see what he'll say next."

I have no interest in Elon Matt… just you.

This forum loves liberal politicians. Anyone that doesn't bend the knee to woke liberal politicians is an enemy. They love it and cheer if a liberal politician "owns" someone with a statement, but go crazy if anyone says anything negative about their liberal heros. If Musk bashed conservatives and spouted their liberal talking points he would be their hero and anyone bashing him would be swarmed on and shut down. You new around here or something?


I've been saying that Musk is a lying sack of shit and crapping on Tesla for quite some time...

I didn't need him announcing that he's a Republican to try to cover for a story he knew was coming out to notice that he's a lying sack of shit.

But by all means, go on and buy into his nonsense about this story coming out because he announced that he's a republican.

And non MAGA folk are turning on him because of that...

Give me a fucking break.

Same with me. Bend the knee? AYFKM? Based on my posts I don't bend the knee to anyone and I've been very clear about my feelings re: "the new Daddy" ever since I asked myself the question "who or what the f*ck is an Elon Musk?".

As to my OP, I think that although while MattBK is the prototypical archetype of post/poster/cult follower that I was predicting, my core thesis is already probably wrong.

As the great Hunter S. said, “when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro”. Things are going to get weird (or even weirder) over the next weeks and months.

Elon Musk, whose Twitter followers are 80% fake and who uses cult science techniques to manipulate his real ones, is a chaos muppet troll who has been hired to fill the role of Donald Trump in the ongoing organized crime well-funded oligarchy project to turn disaffected citizens towards Fascism and Authoritarianism and overthrow the American government. He won’t care, because he’s just a highly suggestible sociopath who wants to get to Mars at all costs. It’s “The Mission”. Expect other true believer suggestible billionaires to follow, ie. Bezos. The part of Ross Perot still needs to be cast.

For some reason, several of the extreme right factions have decided that the reality bending (or focusing, depending on your tuning skills) app Twitter is the center of gravity (COG) in the Information Space, just as Ukraine is a proxy COG for Democracy around the world tactically in this fight. Tangentially, Tesla Stock will face a reckoning, *if* the market and the SEC allow it. Twitter is apparently the reality of record, and if reality is true Tesla’s stock price will continue to drop as low-talent Musk tries to replicate the Twitter genius of the former President. Tesla is a canary in the coal mine so to speak.

Meanwhile, the 5th Circuit conducted a supporting operation bigger than even the captured Supreme Court Roe decision in hamstringing the SEC, and the FEC has been jacked since December 2020, the two agencies that could investigate and unfuck this stuff. Add to those the insane social media moderation law Texas created. These are tells as to what the COGs are and what the possible ways ahead are. Given the depth of possible options for overturning the election, I expect that I’m missing several other lines of effort and operation (LOE, LOO).

Gen Flynn is crushing this. Deny the information space that the J6 committee and DOJ need to communicate and make an impact with voters. Deny the ability of the Executive Branch to enforce rules and investigate crimes that are targeted at undermining our currency and markets in a supporting effort to both deny the information space and undermine currency. Deny the will of the voters by owning all the Secretaries of State and Governors in swing states who would count votes or certify electors or allow people to vote in the first place. Deny the Legislative Branch the ability to address fake scandals by deadlocking the Senate.

Inflation, gas prices, J6 live hearings, repeal of Roe and follow-on protests and violence, Trucker Convoy (tm), tactical nukes from Russia, crypto Ponzi schemes imploding and people losing everything, and food shortages are all going to converge in June. People will also be clutching pearls over nonexistent crime and border crises. This will boil July, August, September and into Election Day in November.

June 2022. Everything everywhere all at once. Extremely loud and incredibly close.

How will the forum handle it? Will we lose 4 years to cultish fanboy worship like last time?

I was wrong about this. Andrew Yang has taken the baton.

I reserve the right to reassess depending on who gets the baton next.

Musk is doing a good job of turning Twitter into a fascism silo. This was not a business decision.

He’s also facing a $258 billion crypto pump and dump lawsuit.

9 months left for Elon to become the main character for 2024.

I think the proper way of dealing with him is not to respond or participate in threads he creates.

Perhaps he can set a record of thread replies with only him in the conversation?

Suffer Well.

My “Musk as Main Character” and “DeSantis as Mussolini” threads are merging:

https://www.nytimes.com/...on-musk-twitter.html

DeSantis/Scott ticket backed by Mercer, Thiel, Koch, Ellison, and fake billionaire/actual professional wrestler main character Musk. Lots of vote stealing wickets to put up between now and then in several states.
