Reply to comment by ThinkTelevision8971 in Elon Musk posts on Weibo about how action matters more than words and gets an earful from disgruntled Chinese netizens by Saltedline

My theory is that some right-wing fuck knuckles - you know, the kind he's been buddying up to lately - said something along the lines of "Y'know, I wish someone'd do something about all the wokerati on Twitter" and then Musk bought it out in a desperate bid to look cool to them, and is now burnin' up because the RWFKs aren't reciprocating the love because Musk did it off his own bat, and the RWFKs don't feel they owe him anything.

Well more to the point, the fascist oligarchs are trying to control all media and twitter is, or was, the premier news platform on the planet. So that part of the plan is working just fine.

I agree.i think he and SBF are getting used by bigger, smarter money. Not that I feel bad at all for either person.

I think you're partially right, but I'm going to guess, instead of trying to look cool to them, he's just poorly coping with the fact his kid came out as trans and disassociated with him completely. https://www.reuters.com/world/elon-musks-child-seeks-name-change-sever-ties-with-father-2022-06-21/

He turned to RWFKs because he needs to be loved, but even his own kids wants nothing to do with him. Throw in one of them being trans, and he probably blames "woke cancel culture" for his ruined personal relationships.

I don’t think he cares about that as much as Grimes leaving him for a trans woman (Chelsea Manning no less)
