Truly bizarre Musk tweet... bizarre even for Musk.

Musk has a history of sending cryptic messages via Twitter... I'm working on this one.

BTW the gun in the foreground is called a RHINO gun.




This one is weird, too... he's stirring shit again. He wants to release internal Twitter documents re: free speech

74 thousand people tweeted back to this tweet- . He got almost 750,000 views on the Tweet. It’s kind of like Twitter games of who can be the most creative.

In Tibetan Buddhism it represents indestructible power.

As a Buddhist, I am offended this was used in his tableau.

This is more stoking of violence! He is a sick puppy.

He’s posting word salad and photos of random shit thinking he’s discovered the new Rosetta Stone.

Mostly he’s just crazy - and this nonsense is not adding content value to his smoldering turd platform.

22. Twitter is NOT suppressing FREE SPEECH.
Mon Nov 28, 2022, 09:16 PM
Nov 2022

Free Speech is a GOVERNMENT ISSUE, not the issue of a PRIVATE platform. You can say that Twitter is "Censoring" content, but you have ZERO argument when you use the WRONG framing. Twitter, like EVERY OTHER PRIVATE PLATFORM has a right to moderate content. Has the company made mistakes? You can be absolutely sure of that. There are decisions that DU and other sites have made that not everyone agrees with when it comes to moderation. The choices of those who disagree? Accept them or leave the service, just like advertisers and many influencers have left since Musk took over Twitter.

Musk is really putting it out there that he is a complete idiot. I only hope that he crashes hard. He deserves it. Maybe Tesla, Space X, and other ventures currently under his thumb will actually improve once he is out of the way.

30. What the stuff on the table is. Best guesses so far
Mon Nov 28, 2022, 09:39 PM
Nov 2022

The Gun is a cosplay replica of a spy gun from a video game. TF2 Diamondback Gun
The odd metal object is a Varja. In Tibetan Buddhism it represents sudden inspiration/enlightenment that makes you a Buddha too.
The diet coke is not the typical color best guess is it is caffeine free from a promotional version and 30 years old.

So it looks like these are all items to troll the internet.

My theory is he is throwing weird at the wall to see what sticks and to try and say, "I planned all of this." I think he will take down twitter, use any emails he can find to try and take down people who made him angry, and then claim he is so rich that he did this for fun/to expose the truthiness.

I think he made a big fail and now he is going to cover it up by trying to look smart and happy with losing 44 billion for a cause. Good luck, Elon. With all the extra scrutiny we know enough about you to never again think you are all that brilliant.

What puzzles me is the diet coke. Does it mean solidarity with TFG, or is diet coke a dog whistle that I don't understand.

What gets me, is that these folk never seem to realize that all they have to do is listen to smart people, invest in really good things and help people out. It may or may not have just been publicity, but that was the sort of thing that made people initially like and trust Elon. If he had invested the 44 billion in solar and power backup systems, he could have made more money and had a lot of us thinking that he has issues but his heart is in the right place. If he made sure some communities that had poor power systems, such as Texas and a few reservations, had affordable and reliable power, a lot of us would be cheering him. But no, pride got in the way and yes men helped him spiral into the stupid loop where you get rid of the least yes, yes men and end up surrounded by lying liars who will let you think and say the most stupid things.

and wasn't just posed there by some interior decorator that was paid by musk to "put together a scene that will make MAGAts love me".

not saying he doesn't own and/or like any other those things (he is a MAGAt after all), I'm just saying the scene isn't "natural", it is staged.
