Aside from the one WSJ article, I don’t know of much evidence Musk has a serious problem. We have marijuana with Joe Rogan, Elon saying he takes Ambien, and according to WSJ, witnesses to LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, mushrooms, and ketamine. He doesn’t drink except for an occasional Vodka. There is very little about drugs in the two major biographies. In Isaacson’s book, a friend of Grimes tweets about him being on acid, but Isaacson says he never used it. Unless I missed it, there’s zero in Vance’s book about drugs.
There is a lot in both books about risk-taking, though. Any sketchy drugs aren’t going to help on top of lack of sleep, possible mental disorder, and stress, but the risk stuff is pervasive and goes back to his childhood. In Isaacson’s book, there are ~60 instances of behavior described using words like erratic, impulsive, unhinged, wild, and untethered. That’s like one every ten pages.
The AJC reports that the project will not create any new jobs, but it will retain 24 existing employees. X had threatened to move the project to Portland, OR if Fulton denied the tax break.
sweet jesus I didn’t realize he had them make fake tweets from WW2.
To prove their argument, Musk showed fake tweets he created of people sharing photos of Nazi attacks on synagogues, supporting Jewish resistance fighters, and pushing back against Holocaust deniers. There was even a tweet from the “official” Auschwitz account claiming Jews there were “thriving”—only to have a community note debunk that claim.
Don’t worry guys we put up community notes on the concentration camp tweets.
Half of Twitter would be cheering on the Nazis and claiming the Jews were lying (and that is likely an underestimation). CN would be people citing the Germans denying they were killing Jews and that they were actually work camps (plus noting that the Americans were similarly putting Japanese people in camps).
New York Times: X reinstates Adolf Hitler’s account.
On Monday X (formally known as Twitter) reinstated Adolf Hitler’s account weeks after automobile magnate Elon Musk took over. The account, previous banned after a failed ‘Beerhall Putsch’, first message after returning was ‘The global cabal of Jews and Communists will pay for holding down the true voice of the people. Violence to come.’ When asked Musk for comment Musk said, “It’s important for free speech so let’s see how it goes. He might have some good ideas. Lol poop emoji.”
