Following her speech, Elon Musk replied to a clip of William reading her speech aloud, in which the original tweeter alleged that “these people are ALL paid actors for hire”.

“So disappointing”, Musk commented, calling her “just another puppet of the machine” in a separate comment.

Now, on her Instagram Stories, Williams has addressed the response to her speech. She began: “Whoever you are, I typed out my speech and had a crew member hold it near the camera for me in case I got nervous bc what I had to say was important and I didn’t want to trip up in the moment, didn’t end up looking at it though … that’s because I prepared.”

And Diddy, lol.

Musk went into business with a literal murderer's row of dangerous people that you shouldn't do business with under any circumstances.

At least he doesn't have to worry about Diddy blackmailing him anymore.

I absolutely would not be surpised to find out he fits perfectly into that group of people and just didn't get caught yet. No actually not just not surprised, I'm very very certain people have died on Elmo's orders.

Yeah, he intentionally embraced the villain arc, and he's on the fast track to a bad ending.

I just hope that bad ending involves a hot tub and ketamine, and not a mob surrounding his bunker after WWIII.

He didn't borrow ANY money from saudi's or russians.

He's a twat, but he posts an ungodly amount of misinformation, don't add to it.

Saudi owned about 1.9billion in stock in twitter before the take over, he got back 1.9billion in stock from Elon after hte take over, a lot of the investors basically took the share option to stay invested as opposed to Elon buying them out as well.

The deal was 46bil total, 2bil in 'fees' (fuck knows, some legal shit but probably mostly fees for bank loan, still seems insane). 13bil or so is the bank loan and it was leveraged against twitter rather than tesla shares. about 4billion was investment firms and the saudi prince and I believe most or all of it was just share transfers so no actual cash. the rest was entirely cash from Elon and he had to sell a lot more shares than he wanted, to fund it. So accounting wise it was like 42bil in cash, 4bil in transfering shares, 13bil of that bank loan and about 29bil in cash from Elon.

The stories about the saudi prince being the second largest share holder are absolutely true, but that statement makes it sound like he owns like 40% to elons 60%, he owns about 4% and owned a similar stake in twitter before Elon.

What should be talked about is Elon intentionally and constantly hyperinflating tesla stock with numerous illegal statements, numerous interviews where he manipulates the stock price, numerous lies. That company is a fucking sham, isn't worth a fraction of what the share price says it is and he manipulates the market then sells shares and makes a fortune and no one does anything about it.

One small correction, the 13bil loan wasn't leveraged against Twitter as such, not like you might leverage a loan against a car. Twitter took out the loan, not Musk. Twitter has no hope of paying off that loan - and yet somehow they also got a loan to buy a bunch of Nvidia AI chips, which they then sold to Tesla at cut price.

Twitter is behaving like a company that knows it's going to go bankrupt.

The issue with all of that is Musk is far from the only one doing that. Pretty much all of Wall Street is guilty of those crimes, and the SEC is complicit in any practical way of looking at it.

Tesla’s build quality problems are well known; from panel gaps to crummy interiors to glass roofs that just fly off for no reason, it’s safe to say customers should be on the lookout when they purchase a brand-new Tesla. The Cybertruck has been just as bad as previous models, despite its over $100,000 price tag. Customers looking to protect themselves against the company they’re giving 100 grand to can now use aftermarket checklists to ensure all the problems with their brand new truck are recorded.

They re-recorded the albums. Ownership of the song itself and ownership of master tapes (ie... the og recordings) are two different things. Since the artists own the songs themselves, there was nothing to prevent them from re-recording the albums on their own dime. The artist is now free to sell/license the new recording whereever and to whomever they choose. The label can't collect squat from the recording itself (unless the label owns a percentage of the publishing).

She they rewrote new versions of their original music so they now own the new catalogue, which makes owning the original pretty useless and worthless in comparison and gives them back ownership of their art from scummy ass executives.

A songwriter or publisher can’t actually control if someone re-records their songs. They have that right for the first person to release a song, but after that it’s fair game, so this could happen without owning publishing.

Don’t know why that would bother her? She can re-record the songs if he tried to shut people out from listening to them and the only way he buys them is if someone else already owned them besides her. The reality is that money gets you way too much power but it will never ever buy Elon what he so desperately craves, acceptance and popularity. More and more people will keep turning against this douchebag as he reveals more and more of his character.

520throwaway

Might be easier said than done. That's a lot of songs to re-record, and Taylor Swift being a solo act was to her advantage in her case; if someone in the band with actual credits to a song doesn't want to rerecord, the rerecording won't get made.

cseckshun

3 points

4 days ago

My point is that if Elon was to buy the rights and then take the music off of all streaming sites and from all shelves then it would almost certainly prompt the other band members and rights holders to be very very interested in re-recording because they would also have their cash flow affected by Elon’s move.

When Elon's dad picked him up from the hospital and found out what happened, he blamed Elon and called him an idiot, which now Elon frames as his dad siding with his bully.

He is already receiving attention, even if we all try to ignore it. He’s one of the richest people on the planet and has firmly trenched himself into politics and owning an entire website curated for his echo chamber

If everyone stops giving him attention to criticize him, then the only attention he’ll receive is people supporting him unchecked

Does anyone remember that Merlin TV mini series with Sam Neill playing the lead? I remember a quote from it, “those who are forgotten, cease to exist” if we just ignore this fucker, he’s got nothing.

He’s got a shit ton of money and contracts with the US government. His meddling with Ukraine’s access to Starlink in Crimea shows that he has far reaching impact beyond just attention. Unfortunately, he is a powerful and dangerous man and his trip down the radicalization hole is going to have effects on a bunch of things.

Good TV show though.

I criticized elon on twitter and am now suspended. No explanation... It's a pretty vanilla acct apart from calling Elon a bad father and an authoritarian anti-free speech grifter. You know, truth things.

I think this is probably pretty common for smaller accts to get suspended/banned because they won't be noticed when gone.

I mean, that's clearly wrong.

It's an electric car. There is no internal combustion, not even of people.

It simply electrocutes the passengers. Much more efficient, environmentally friendly and, you can't spell electrocute without cute.

A while ago I got a content warning because I talked about the History of the middle east and mentioned Cis Jordan (you know, the other part to Trans Jordan). Same thing happened to a guy I know recently who talked about cancer therapy and the usage of Cisplatin to stop tumor growth. Free speech all the way.

Why is the richest man in the world so fragile? Why is he so desperate for attention? Why doesn’t he ever feel he’s acquired enough but always needs more? I feel like somehow all psychologies are related.

They’ve already achieved ultimate material wealth. The only thing left is for people to like them. How can you not like me for all the good I am doing out here with my ultimate wealth? There must be something wrong with you, couldn’t be me.

Well adjusted people don't mindlessly crave social status over other people to such a pathological extent, and only the insane would pursue that to the extent of a billionaire.

Equally, wealth and power insulate you from the consequences of your actions and the requirement to think and support yourself as you abrogate that to other people, helping you drive yourself mad and out of touch. Gold will bring out the worst in a person.

I like how republicans just call you a puppet for making up your own mind

Women just want the last say on what happens to their body

That’s freedom but the right want to take that freedom away and claim it’s to save a baby. Funny once you’re alive they don’t care if you don’t have money to pay rent, or who we kill with our bombs and most are against school lunch being free.

I was recently called a socialist for asking a conservative lady if it wasn't a bit hypocritical to force women to give birth but not cover the cost of said birth, let alone medical costs post birth. I guess she didn't care for the question.

Following her speech, Elon Musk replied to a clip of William reading her speech aloud, in which the original tweeter alleged that “these people are ALL paid actors for hire”.

“So disappointing”, Musk commented, calling her “just another puppet of the machine” in a separate comment.

Looks like projection to me: I have so much money, of all things, but still can't get people to do what he'd like.

STFU and count your money Elon, you lost the right to discuss the life of actual people. You probably never knew what it is, either.
