Elon Musk's villain arc is ramping up. Within the last two weeks:

1) Advocated against the American labor force. Got absolutely ratioed on his own platform and got his panties into a bunch.

2) Removed Blue Checks, wiped subscriptions, demonetized and deplatformed many of those with "negative" dissenting opinions.

3) Announced an algorithm change to further punish "negativity" which is completely subjective based on his closed source, proprietary AI models. So much for the "free speech town square" of the Internet.

4) Adjusted his account so only verified or mentioned accounts can reply to him. Anyone want odds that he isn't or won't be going after verified accounts behind the scenes?

That is full mask off dictator level behavior. Combine the fact they're launching X Payments and X AI to give him even more data and control over his paywalled fiefdom... Uh, no fucking thanks.
