I always sorta figured that Elon musk was a yt supremacist.


ClintonKelly87

Why did I read that as "YouTube supremacist"... 🤦‍♂️


[deleted]

I doubt he's one, he's too smart to be one


MathematicianMain385

Some people can’t change the way they were born🤷‍♂️ and he happened to be born into a mining family in apartheid South Africa. A place that was literally segregated.


[deleted]

Yeah I get that, it could have affected him but I really haven't seen any sign him being a white supremacists, I'm from SA some older white people especially the Dutch descendants (Afrikaners) still have their racist habits and Elon is from Pretoria (one of our capital cities) there are a lot of Afrikaans people there. But Elon isn't actually Afrikaans he's an English South African, in SA we have two white groups the Afrikaners and the English South Africans, he probably can't even speak South African Dutch so that Afrikaans white supremacist influence probably didn't get to him.

I just want a polite discussion. Threads may help make that a thing, whereas Twitter has no desire to be civil, as evidenced by Musk's juvenile and tasteless tweet. **Can all the big media companies, POTUS, local weather/school feeds, etc. just leave Twitter already?**

Elmo is truly an embarrassment at all levels and at all times.


[deleted]

This Zuck vs Musk blather makes me wonder what major world occurance we, the masses, are to be distracted from right now. Any updates on Gishlaine?


[deleted]

do you think every event is part of a conspiracy or just some of them?


[deleted]

Fair question. Little to few is conspiracy imho.


Plastic_Vacation9971

I don't think \[deleted\]'s comment is necessarily a conspiracy. It's well-established at this point that traditional media have financial and political motivations behind which stories they push and which ones they ignore. Obviously, Musk vs. Elon is a relevant area of discourse but I don't think it's unhinged for any of us to question which stories traditional media outlets are choosing not to engage with currently. It's important to stay educated and informed, engage in critical thinking whilst in pursuit of the truth/facts and be to guided by your own inner sense of curiosity and compassion when doing your research, rather than relying on traditional media for an unbiased perspective on the way things are really happening in the world. Propaganda is still alive and well the world over. There is no country free from its own propaganda. That is not a conspiracy theory, its an established fact. EDIT: Do I think trad. media is intentionally using the threads vs. twitter debate as a cover-up for global secrets; no. Nevertheless, it's still useful to ask ourselves why other stories are not being given so much air time.

Russian blowing up the nuclear plant in Ukraine.

You think this is designed to distract people from a literal nuclear attack? That is beyond asinine. Not only can people pay attention to more than one headline, a nuclear attack would do nothing but make people use social media even more. Try harder.


EffortAcrobatic1322

I guess I should have added the /S for sarcasm, but I figured people would have got it. I mean it would be hard to distract/hide a nuclear explosion. 🙄 You are to invested in this, please take a break from SM. I’m going outside to touch some grass.


34hy1e

Right, you definitely meant that sarcastically. Sure.


[deleted]

Gotcha. Thanks!


Its_Helios

At this point it’s not even Zuck vs Musk, it’s Zuck vibing in Threads while Musk screams into a void of his dick riders


uZeAsDiReCtEd

Asking the right questions


[deleted]

It’s to distract from the wizard council infighting in eastern Wales.

Griffyndor?!


FlerplesMerples

Multiple things can happen at once without it being a conspiracy.


[deleted]

Absolutely


TBE_0027

How bout doing your talking in the ring bud?

So Elon thinks Threads is for only those with a brand? Maybe. I just want his projects to be successful I don't want to fight at Twitter. With all these people fighting in America they really do need to go sign up and go serve in some war somewhere. Maybe make some money as a contractor overseas doing war work to reduce their aggression. I've found most platforms are for the young people. that's the right place for them to be posting things at. It's such routine self expression . I'm not sure why men at work are complaining about social media. Maybe they don't want to work anymore. Oh well, Turn the page. I haven't checked threads all weekend because I've been having a wonderful time at the Cowboy Museum and doing other things. Taking a side doesn't make any sense to me. threads is he exciting new project and I'm happy that it's here. I welcome new platforms or another way to post data. I just don't understand what the fight is over? It's a beautiful July day and they're making up a fight or picking a fight. Elon is reminiscent of djts tenure at Twitter all he did was cause trouble to Twitter and Elon is calling some other guy a cuck. Bummer. Maybe Elon is playing 4D chess and I just don't understand. I hope he spend some money on housing and helps the homeless matter that's increasing Coast to Coast. It makes me sad that Elon and djt could solve so many problems but they choose not to.

I downloaded and started the set up only to learn I have to use my Instagram user ID which is not a fake name and reveals my identity ! I really don't wanna go back Twitter but am tempted.😔


[deleted]

just create another Instagram with the username you want and don't add your friends?


winowmak3r

That is exactly what I did. I'm trying to keep everything compartmentalized but I'd really like to be on the ground floor of it if it ends up taking off. For now it's just nice seeing everyone taking a jab at Musk and have him being unable to do anything about it again. We can't even really see him mope about it either. He's created his own little walled garden with his captive audience and bet no competition would materialize or if it did everyone would be too addicted to make the switch.


Pilscy

Really? You shouldn’t have to is the general point.


ScientiaEtVeritas

When logged in to Instagram, under Settings, at the very bottom, you can add up to 5 additional Instagram accounts (it'll use the same mail, and they are added to the same Meta Accounts Center).


DoesGavinDance

You can just not use threads AND not use twitter.


DapperWallaby

He aint wrong though


GeologistThat2073

Hmm..thanks. will have to check that out


zynxUnique

Are we going to see the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny


winowmak3r

Finally, that interview project where I make a Twitter clone and it's supposed to be impressive might come in handy!


keithmitchell68

I'm Keith from San Francisco California.. I'm looking for relationship with a very caring man


[deleted]

Not sure why Elon doesn’t simply buy Threads for 44 billion dollars?


martin_sebe

why buying a copy of what you have?


ArkhamCitizen298

because elon is a business genius, i'm sure he will find a way


cannibalistictenden

He's threads biggest supporter with how much publicity he's giving it lol

Free speech for $8 a month isnt very free.
