Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

Tweets are no more.

I love new technologies.

If there is no big Tech in the background even better.

But like what the fuck man.. In like 10 minutes of just scrolling through posts here I have seen blindfolded tied up woman get raped hit and worse.

I really don't know if I even want to hang out here.

++ There is basically no real content here. 90% of Post are just crypto spam.

The two biggest reasons technology hasn't completely disrupted healthcare, caused staggering price deflation among products and services, & released a strong trend toward better health -- is insane health regulations & massive subsidies for garbage food.

The biggest flaw of the ego is that it never lets you feel that you are wrong.

We're proud to be launching Nostr+, a paid service for power Nostr users who want to get the most out of their Nostr community experiences. Nostr+ subscribers will get:

- increased uptime: redundancy in relay infrastructure gets you an expected 99.999% liveliness

- enhanced reach: if someone is following you they are very likely to see your notes

- revenue sharing: every time someone zaps you you'll get a percent of it

Would you always consider it an investment that requires a return? What percentage would you be comfortable simply donating away with no direct personal benefit?

The progressively more heated debate in last few days makes me glad that I'm running my own relay at relay.CasualCrypto.date It was originally intended just for me, but if you are looking for a refuge or safe haven feel free to join.
