    How crazy is it that there’s a butthurt Elon worshiping coward downvoting all the comments here.

      Just a random selfie with a Russian propagandist. That doesn’t mean anything by itself, however. He also was spotted in another photo with Kushner at the world cup as well and again, that doesn’t mean anything more than a picture.

      What it does mean, however, is that the world’s richest man chooses to be in close proximity to some really shady people. Or not. The world cup managers probably just had a section carved off for the Friends of Putin club.

        Hey now! That’s not fair!

        You’re forgetting that he was also photographed next to Ghislaine Maxwell.

    He is awfully close to autocrats of all kind. Neatly following the CCP to sell Teslas in China, doing nothing against spying by Saudi Arabia on Saudi dissidents on twitter and easily doing what Putin wants him to do in Ukraine. The problem is bigger than just Ukraine. Hell, he even let the Saudi investment fund bankroll a part of the twitter acquisition. These are the same guys who lock people up for live for a few critical tweets about MBS (the Saudi despot).

    He can’t care less. They’re still engaging with the platform and generating ad revenue. Maybe don’t protest a platform by continuing to use said platform and therefore making it money.

      It’s definitely going to hurt his fragile little ego. I bet his visa slaves are working on a “solution” as we speak.

    I look forward to Mr Muskovy reacting with a sense of humour about it all, rather than doubling down and acting like a thirteen year old boy who’s father doesn’t love him.

    He’s already suppressing some other hashtags related to him so don’t be surprised if this one suddenly vanishes from the trends list.

    No, no. He stopped world war iii from starting.

    Seriously. That’s the fanboy stance on the matter.

      The countless documented examples of specific individuals and terms being censored disproves that. Letting one thing critical of Musk stay =/= a free speech platform.
