    Are we at the point that we can admit ElMo is doing this on purpose to shut down free speech that stands in opposition to wealthy authoritarian regimes?

    I’m not going to pretend I have absolute proof, nor that I am an expert on the subject matter. I do believe it stands to reason that he isn’t an idiot (nor as intelligent as he portrays himself for that matter) - not enough of an idiot to actively degrade a prominent social media platform to the tune of tens of billions of dollars without a goal in mind.

    He’s still an idiot, in my opinion. Money isn’t worth a damn if there aren’t peasants. He might have to wipe his own ass at this rate.

    I hope he becomes irrelevant. I’ll do my part moving forward.

      Not Elmo. Elmo is a delight. Musk is a sentient trash heap.
