While Elon Musk is no idiot, he is acting like one now. LET'S BE CLEAR. THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT HIM SUGGESTING PEOPLE SHOULD BE TRYING TO ASSASINATE BIDEN, HARRIS, OR ANYONE ELSE. HE SHOULD BE HELD TO ACCOUNT NOW BY LAW ENFORCEMENT.

If you joke about bombs in a TSA line, they don't just laugh it off - you're pulled from line and searched from head-to-toe, Elmo...

1. Sorry, but...

...yes, it's a fact that very bright people do very stupid things from time to time. However, when someone does stupid things all the time, concluding that that person is an idiot is a fair and logical conclusion.

2. When Elon says something to a group and they all laugh it is because they are all ass-kissing sycophants.

Elon, like Trump, surrounds himself with Yes-men who follow him around singing his praises.

3. Yeah, the people who laugh are just as sick as you.

4. We do not have adequate laws in the US to regulate hate speech.

The hate speech has to be a specific, actionable plan to do harm to someone.

5. Twitter's "moderators" are community-based, and do not do an adequate job...

...plus I think he made own posts "unmoderated."

I looked for solid confirmation of this, but couldn't find anything substantial.

10. I reported him for that post

and the Taylor Swift one. Out of principle, if nothing else.

6. I respect Fred, but he's completely wrong here...

Leon is in fact an idiot and that post proves it.

7. musk is an idiot. I have come to the realization is this: money amplifies a persons personality.

if you were a compassionate person and suddenly you have lots of money, I believe you would channel some of your money to help people

if you were a fucking asshole with a questionable grasp of reality and you suddenly have lots of money: you become a total and complete selfish asshole.

9. My best friend can confirm your assumption of the effect money has

on your personality. He has 3 uncles who are multi-millionaires. 1 uncle is a successful doctor, and another one is a software engineer, and the riches out of the 3 is a successful real estate developer. My best friend knew his uncles before they were successful and when they were struggling during the 90's. He once told me his uncles reinforce his hatred of rich people because he jokingly and seriously said all 3 of them were pieces of shit before they got the money and now with money, they are out of this world pieces of shits.
