    I thought the Elon-Lemon situation was the Cybertruck rollout?

    Im confused. The tweet you quoted states Musk hopes his critics stay on Twitter. Was Don Lemon banned or something? Im not a lawyer like Sam Fisher, but Musks tweet said nothing about paying people (outside of ad revenue) to criticize him.

    It seems like it went down like this (I really dont know TBH)
    EM: Hey DL, X doesn't have a counter to Tucker Carlson. We want opposing viewpoints. Since the left sucks at monetizing their base, I want to bootstrap you.
    DL: AWESOME! Lets start now. Im so giddy I get to speak to EM in person. First question, why do you suck so much, EM?
    EM: Thats not why I hired you, dumbass. Bye Felicia!

    Don Lemon wasn't banned.

    @rocketsjudoka babbling about free speech, totally missing the point.

    Which point? That Musk has a business owner doesn’t have to allow for free speech? Do you agree with that?

    Musk doesn't have a track record of free speech. The cancellation of the Don Lemon X show doesn't change that.

    This phrase from Musk caught my attention: "Imagine four more years of this getting worse..."

    If you consider things from his perspective, it's evident that Musk has endured a challenging 1-2 years.

    He has seen approximately half of his net worth disappear. Tesla's stock has declined by 30% this year, stagnated in 2022, and plummeted by around 50% in 2021, despite the market reaching record highs. Tesla is grappling with declining sales, and its growth trajectory has halted. This year, it has performed the worst in the S&P 500. Musk no longer basks in the widespread admiration of the public and media due to his partisan crusade, which directly contributes to X's struggle. The extent of its impact on Tesla brand remains uncertain, but it's could be significant as Musk has alienated a core consumer base of EVs.

    Wow you're telling me he was always a right wing dipshit who was rooting for trump? The guy who's trying to ban unions and reduce regulations is actually a MAGA all along?!

    I was told by folks @Space Ghost musk wasn't a fan of either party. Billionaires will always look after themselves
