the alt-right movement is like an abusive relationship, made up of a bunch of very insecure people constantly seeking approval from an abuser who doles it out with an equal amount of degradation, keeping them confused and isolated enough that they have no choice but to keep coming back because - after having driven everyone else away with their hateful rhetoric - the abusive alt-right is now their only source of “community” at all.
it’s a cult.

Vaught is mostly a Musk fan
Ah, so he's an idiot. Well that explains his statements.
Vaught is mostly a Musk fan, as he's interested in Musk's electric cars and space developments.
So am I. But the guy is an idiot. SpaceX in particular is successful because he isn't the person running the day-to-day operations.
You can be excited about the work the engineers are doing without idolizing the bigoted CEO.
I don't see why so many people can't separate the awful business man from the science.
Gwynne Shotwell does not get enough main stream credit for keeping SpaceX (and Musk) afloat. She's OP.
he sounds like a person in an abusive relationship.
"yeah, he hits me sometimes, but Jimmy's a good guy y'all! just need to give him a chance, besides... all my stuff is there, where would I even live?".
"He took my name from me, I'm not allowed to be called by my name anymore. But its ok, I still love him."
Some people like the abuse
Thank you Elon, may I have another?
What stockholm syndrome does to a mf..
nothing else compares
Guarantee my guy tried 3 other websites before calling it quits
where he gets his news from. Nothing else compares
Uh... How about an actual news site? Maybe the NYT for example? I'm guessing they use too many words he doesn't understand.
Also they are part of the conspiracy to follow the rule of law and not elect the glorious leader.
I’d be equally concerned for anyone who uses the NYT as their primary news source.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
"16 years ago, I created @music and have been running it ever since," Jeremy Vaught, director of engineering at the nonprofit Life Happens, posted on X.
But Vaught never had the time to focus on leveraging the @music audience, only ever benefiting from the account when companies occasionally sent him free perks like headphones in trade for promotions.
Vaught said he was never interested because he knew that selling his handle violated Twitter's terms of service, and he figured there was more value in keeping the account.
To "minimize any inconvenience" from having his account handle taken away, X defaulted to changing Vaught's username to @musicfan, which he described as "probably the least worst" alternative the platform suggested.
But while his reaction the day after learning that X was commandeering his handle was extreme frustration, Vaught told Ars that the platform will remain his primary form of social media.
"Twitter's not dead to me at this point," Vaught told Ars, even if "it's a super huge bummer" to lose the @music account.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
great bot!
Actually a useful bot!
I will never not call it Twitter
Blackwater, Facebook, Twitter.
The site formerly known as Twitter
Birdsite —> Ex-Birdsite for me
Birdshite
That's not fair. Guano is actually useful.
twitter*
“Twitter’s not dead to me at this point,”
At this point I'm cheering Musk on.
Anyone who is still on ~~Twitter~~ ~X~X^X^ deserves this.
Hahahaha this dude is such a little bitch about it. It's honestly adorable.
This is hilarious.
Apparently have never heard of Mastadon
Sorry, only interested in Muskodon
Until Mastadon becomes the go-to for news orgs, governments, and public figures, it won't be a true Twitter replacement
X gonna give it to ya and X gonna take it away from ya
Darwin approved
What's the top three worst things Musk has done? I don't really follow celebrity news so I'm a bit confused about why everyone seems to hate him all of a sudden. I'm genuinely asking
Should have never stopped calling it twitter, if only to annoy the muskrat And the URL is still twitter too
If Musky was half the genius he thinks he is he never would've tried to change the name. Everyone know the name Twitter. Freakin world leaders send out "tweets" to their followers.
He bought the company and is apparently doing everything in his power to fuck it up. He's either stupid or this is all part of some illuminati shit.
Tweet literally got a word in the dictionary, no other company has that kind of brand recognition
It just shows how detached billiknares cam actually be, he ruined arguably the most recognizable social brand that ever existed
