I don't think he cares what mere millionaires think of him.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 27 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Dude bought Twitter just to ban randos from speaking bad about him.

He is thin skinned little shit

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He is a little shit, but come on purchasing Twitter was textbook fascism media control. Far more than just petty reputation protection. This was a major power grab.

Yea, but idiots feel better when they think the people dismantling society are all secretly miserable and are only doing the things they do because they have hurt feelings, rather than being a part of a coordinated effort to consolidate of power into the hands of the wealthy and getting everything they ever wanted.

He bought twitter to punish his trans daughter for being trans because he thought twitter radicalized her.

I don't think it was that personal. I think he only wanted to get rid of a massively popular leftist space.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That’s sounding pretty personal.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is it? He wasn't hiding his intentions. Even some of his private messages with Jack Dorsey alluded to the platform being overrun by the left.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Again: he’s taking the left personal. This is all just proving my point that he’s a snowflake.

[–] darvocet@infosec.pub 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh i think you'd be surprised and he cares very much

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 4 days ago

He likes to pretend he's not a fragile little bitch, but his need to be adored is so transparent

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 days ago

He cares what people think in general. His need for validation is more voracious than his need for ketamine. Grimes could twist this knife and make him cry.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Then why did he buy Twitter
