About the Jews?
It's a reference to something Musk himself tweeted.
How does everyone keep up with this shit?
It's like living with Trump, every day is some new bullshit.
One of my favourite quotes (about Trump): "If he was 10% better, he would seem far worse"
What does it mean? Well, we don't actually have time to process how shit everything he said is, before the next new shit thing he said is being shoved in our faces.
I know there are shitty things Trump did, that I can't even remember, because I just don't have the capacity to remember it all.
Musk is the same.
The key difference is that Musk just runs some shitty companies I can afford to ignore. Trump ran the damn country. It was inescapable.
There were a lot of stories about advertisers "pausing" after this tweet.
David Brooks quote about The Idiot: "We've got this perverse situation in which the vast analytic powers of the entire world are being spent trying to understand a guy whose thoughts are often just six fireflies beeping randomly in a jar."
Idk it was in the news. You don't have to remember everything, it's no problem to explain
“Flood the zone with shit.” Steve Bannon 2018. I’d guess Trump does it instinctually but I wouldn’t be surprised if some people are quite intentional about it. Otoh, Musk has a history of tweeting wacky stuff you distract from bad news about one of his companies.

"The Cybersleigh exploding means the operation was a success! This is how science works, you just don't get it like Elon does."
i'm no elon fanboy (fucking hate the guy) but (most of) the exploding spacex rockets really were a success. they were early in development and aimed to reach a certain stage in the ascent/take-off process, anything extra was just a bonus. these objectives were always made public beforehand
I totally agree and it is always a bit of an eyeroll for me. They need data and these are very high risk goals so yes spend a lot of money on tests they know won't be successful, but they are testing some other aspect.
But also idc, it's fun to laugh at cuz fuck Elon. I've hated him for ages especially when he was put on trumps council. That was the giant red flag he was just another capitalist greedy vain fuck who doesn't give a shit about saving the planet and just smart and lucky enough to realize that's where the money and acclaim was going eventually.
So, Xitter blowing up was just testing 😅
Also wanna preface with I’m definitely not a fanboy, but most of those explosions were caused deliberately by remote. Every rocket, SpaceX or otherwise, has a Flight Termination System. Every launch, there is a Range Safety officer sitting in a bunker, watching a live feed with a ‘big red button’ in front of them. It’s their job to self-destruct the rocket if there’s any chance it will crash down on land, or unrestricted areas at sea, to protect people on the ground. They’re also generally more trigger happy when there aren’t people aboard. Most of the problems rockets have don’t actually cause them to immediately explode from arse to end simultaneously.
Edit: I should add, for completeness, that the flight computer aboard the rocket can also trigger the FTS if it decides a crash is unavoidable.
Holy fuck that killed me.
killed santa too
jesus fucking christ omfg lol

What the fuck is a nitter?
Anyway, this came up in my discord chat, so I have no clue where it came from
google dot com slash search question mark q equals nitter
No sign in frontend for Xhitter
I forgot to add the other half of my question - I can't find him other than on twitteresque apps - does he have a web page?
You speak the absolute truth
the fact that its not even fully electric
