Good luck with that.

He’s literally incapable.

TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.world on 08 Aug 2024 15:06 next collapse

I love how they’re asking him gently as if he’s a toddler having a tantrum and not the criminally liable fascist he actually is.

SouthFresh@lemmy.ml on 08 Aug 2024 15:08 collapse

I only refer to him as a toddler. If you talk, act, and shit on things then blame others like a toddler, you’re a toddler. A fucking Nazi Toddler at that.

Eh, I’d be happy if he just canned it, let Mastodon take over…

dan@upvote.au on 08 Aug 2024 16:08 collapse

Mastodon had its problems too. It’s a reason I started using Lemmy instead.

I’m not sure if Twitter has “responsibilities” to begin with. It has what we - as a society - give it the legitimacy to have.

scarabic@lemmy.world on 08 Aug 2024 16:21 collapse

I wish you were right but it’s an influential platform no matter how much we would like to pooh pooh it. It’s right there in the linked article:

Since July 29 when right-wing influencers made false claims on Twitter and other social media platforms that blamed the stabbing murder of three children on Muslims and immigrants, dozens of far-right riots have erupted around the nation.

new_guy@lemmy.world on 08 Aug 2024 16:48 collapse

You’re right but IMO that part of the article that you highlighted should be the news, not the “we should make Musk do something”.

Musk is a billionaire that thrives on attention so any form of headline that cites his name is playing his game.

Twitter is a company with investors. They should be accountable to what happens in their domain. And not by having their wrist slapped because – for the nth time – something bad happened. Media should be saying by now that Twitter is a bad place. Like they did with other social networks before.

scarabic@lemmy.world on 08 Aug 2024 19:25 next collapse

Those riots absolutely were news, and are not buried in this article either. It is news when elected officials make a public call for the industrialist responsible for the riots to take action. I’m understand why you so dislike Musk getting any attention but that feeling does not make this not news. If you dislike Musk you should be glad to see media amplifying public officials criticism of him.

It’s a private company and the only investor that matters is musk.

Can they not just fine him already and reinvest the cash into the country

I don't know what they're talking about. Elon takes twitter very seriously, he uses it every waking hour of the day.

ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net on 08 Aug 2024 15:19 next collapse

Lol like how he takes responsibility of his kids?

Scumbag has twelve of them.

No, no… Continue driving it into the grave. He’s doing the world a service

Frozyre@kbin.melroy.org on 08 Aug 2024 15:31 next collapse

To do that he'd have to:

Rehire the competent people again (good luck doing that since a lot of them were and had been involved with actions/lawsuits against him).

Re-establish all of the departments he liquidated.

Both of which or any redeemable action to take he won't do. His platform is perfect as a hotbed for all conservative brainwash rhetoric that he leads.

Lol fuck Elon. Leave and divest.

ccunning@lemmy.world on 08 Aug 2024 15:43 next collapse

“Musk”?
“Responsibility”?

😂🤣🤪

MagicShel@programming.dev on 08 Aug 2024 15:52 next collapse

Look, just cut him out of the loop and go yell at a big pile of cocaine and meth for all the good it will do.

scarabic@lemmy.world on 08 Aug 2024 16:26 collapse

That “go fuck yourself” video is so sad. First of all he’s wearing a flight jacket as some kind of security blanket - clue number one that he’s high as a kite. Secondly he’s inarticulate. And of course there’s the obscenity and anger. He’s emotionally unhinged and jittery as hell.

This really makes me mad because in my own career I’m at the upper end of the senior management tier trying to break into the executive tier and a huge part of that is cultivating a stable demeanor and showing that you won’t break under stress so that the C-suite or Board or whoever will trust you with the fate of their millions. Elon is out there absolutely spraying diarrhea out of both pant legs on this score. He just amassed too much power first for anyone to do much about it. It’s pathetic.

Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 08 Aug 2024 16:42 collapse

He just amassed too much power first brought too much inheritance money into the organization for anyone to do much about it care.

crusa187@lemmy.ml on 08 Aug 2024 16:53 next collapse

lol!

lmao even.

Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca on 08 Aug 2024 17:18 next collapse

Stop telling him, just build a case, prove what he’s doing is illegal or whatever and charge the company. Stop giving them chances to ignore your demands. Force them to adhere or block them

NineMileTower@lemmy.world on 08 Aug 2024 17:54 next collapse

This is ancient labor’s most foolish program. Why don’t the workers, the largest group, not simply eat Elon Musk?

Bdtrngl@lemmy.world on 08 Aug 2024 19:43 collapse

He would be stringy and flavorless.

eestileib@sh.itjust.works on 08 Aug 2024 19:27 next collapse

The only thing he takes seriously these days is ketamine. And he’s bloody serious about that.

Cadeillac@lemmy.world on 08 Aug 2024 19:36 next collapse

He took responsibility for permanently deleting this image from the internet forever. Nothing to be ashamed of Elon. Plenty of actually terrible things you should be though.
