What he said

Honestly, if you're in my mentions trying to argue that Elon did what he did with Twitter on purpose to get to this moment, I'm going to block you. That's conspiracy theory bullshit. There was no master plan to get here. He stumbled his way into power.

I really do beg to differ.. Musk wanted out of twitter purchase.. but it you don't think this has been planned.. you are bugging! I have involved with these guys since the beggining. I'm talking 80's! Musk was in the same damn group of tech dudes that were brain cracking their way to LLM's!

donnasteffy.bsky.social•28 days ago

Adm John Poindexter wanted a private stock market to predict and profit from war and disaster..you know.. like the private stock market of Simons & Mercer or the one Andreessen wanted to start.. Alex Karp made all of his money off of disaster capitalism! Palantir & Cambridge Analytica..both my guys!

donnasteffy.bsky.social•28 days ago

I go way fucking back.. Marcel de Jong was helping Nvidia from its inception in.. 1993.. and like he said these guys all compete and share... Musk may be an inglorious bastard doing filthy deeds willy nilly.. but he is also connected to a well greased machine that has long and old roots!

donnasteffy.bsky.social•28 days ago

Karp is Bilderberg! Christ on a cracker Hans W. Vogel helped start the godamned cia & he was my dude.. Marcel is my dude.. Simons & Mercer were my dudes.. Karp is my dude & Musk is linked to Karp.. pump & dump & weapons & private stock markets ... & don't even get me started w/ the sex stuff!

donnasteffy.bsky.social•28 days ago

Do u want to know what James Simons secret sauce was? Yeah no mystery there..he hired assholes like Marcel de Jong of Autodesk who didn't mind linking & TORTURING people/kids to mimic neural networks! Terrence Sejnowski..another one of my guys writes all a/ b it! HE PUT IT IN A PIXAR! MONSTERS INC!

donnasteffy.bsky.social•28 days ago

I have been trying to warn people for years.. but after London kidnapping... well these guy NEVER LET YOU GO! Not really.. beaten raped tortured impoverished arrested and instutionalized! Good times. Yeah.. these guys are great!

briween.bsky.social•28 days ago

i agree there was no master plan, but he didn't stumble into it, he paid for proximity to it and then tried to grab it

sunfolk.bsky.social•28 days ago

Stop.

He tried like hell to get out of purchasing Twitter. The courts forced him to go through with it.

History is mostly an accident.

afroburrito.bsky.social•28 days ago

I think the poster is talking about the presidency, not Twitter.

briween.bsky.social•28 days ago

that's right, sorry for the lack of clarity. he clawed to get out of buying twitter, but twitter isn't how he paid for access to all of this.

snyderwriter.bsky.social•28 days ago

This is true. He's pretty much of an imbecile, which means he's still stumbling around

judyhampden.bsky.social•28 days ago

I have no idea why/what Musk is doing with Twitter. But he has started implementing DOGE. With his own programmers no less. Are they now fed employees? Under contract? Conflicts?

Maybe it’s his coincidental stumbling that keeps giving him the audacity to keep going: he’s high on the accidental success. He doesn’t have an internal or external voice telling him no. At least not one he respects.

lguap0.bsky.social•28 days ago

Have we already forgotten that he wanted to back out of buying Twitter and was effectively forced to by the courts?

lguap0.bsky.social•28 days ago

Let’s also be reminded that he ended up paying way more for Twitter than it was worth. This is almost certainly why he had to cut headcount when he first took ownership.

sunfolk.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yes. The answer is yes.

No one remembers more than 3 days ago. We're like walking goldfish with smartphones.

lguap0.bsky.social•28 days ago

I think you’re being a bit unfair to the goldfish: I’m pretty sure they’re no fascist goldfish swimming around. If I was a goldfish, I’d be pretty insulted by this comparison.

trruhnke.bsky.social•28 days ago

Thinking it’s a conspiracy avoids the tragically true conclusion that it’s actually the result of mass stupidity of the citizenry.

danbad23.bsky.social•27 days ago

They’re playing 4-dimensional Russian roulette.

Though many of us feel powerless, it’s important to continue to do the small things. https://bsky.app/profile/ryankbonner.bsky.social/post/3lgykyvh37k2y

Can you have $400 Billion and not find your way to power in a Citizens United world?

oldmandork.bsky.social•27 days ago

Elon Musk revisionism. Project 2025 is the master plan.

I’d be more at ease if he gamed it out. I’d rather an evil genius than lucky nepo baby.

ropetr.bsky.social•28 days ago

He clearly bought his way in- at bargain basement prices

hpyft.bsky.social•28 days ago

He bought a president. I assume he's not starting a collection.

Elon found himself in a Tesla upside down in a ditch and decided to rethink a self driving vehicle.

devokneivel.bsky.social•28 days ago

Canadian MP Charlie Angus wants Canada to tariff Musk's "douche panzers" as a retaliation tariff. :)

steveknapp.bsky.social•27 days ago

I wish Elon would decide to be the first test pilot for Starship. I mean, he likes to lead from the front (and shoot from the hip).

publiuscirca24.bsky.social•28 days ago

I’m more worried about Thiel behind the scenes - but of the two - they share about the same level of concern!

hammondjr.bsky.social•27 days ago

Does it really matter? He's there. Stumbled or planned. He's there and we're going to suffer.

adamjblust.bsky.social•28 days ago

These people don’t do a lot “on purpose,” but both outcomes were the result of him being an asshole and wanting to spread that assholery as wide as possible.

tlt55.bsky.social•28 days ago

It’s kind of like the incredible luck of a drunk who stumbles, staggers, and weaves his way across a busy six-lane freeway, only to emerge unscathed on the other side, while holding up a hundred-dollar bill that he had seen blow onto the freeway, and which he set out to catch.

switzere.bsky.social•28 days ago

I think he bought Twitter to try and manipulate the conversation.

The man is an extreme opportunist. But he’s not some mastermind genius.

yourazneighbor.bsky.social•28 days ago

Really? You think he just “stumbled his way” into taking over a platform that democratized communications between experts in their field and people like me? Ok.
