How much do you want to bet Musk will retain his ability to block after everyone else gets it taken away? I'll bet five John gifs.

can't he just shadow block people? block people silently without them knowing about it? its his site

however 'mush blocks people after removing the block feature' is a guardian headline waiting to happen. no such thing as bad publicity.

Many people were fooled to think Elon was a genius, in really. He makes horrible management decisions.

The only reason why he’s even a thing in 2024 is that certain people in the right places own a bunch of Tesla stock, like Nancy Pelosi. Basically good old fashioned corruption is why he’s where he is today rather than business acumen.

Musk defies Brazilian Supreme Court from what I read on that article.
April 8, 2024

Musk defies Brazilian Supreme Court justice's demand to censor 'X' and secretly ban people he doesn't like​

By Monica Showalter

Given all the cowardice we see, it was a thing of beauty seeing someone standing up to the sleazy little tyrants who want to shut down free speech.

Which is what we see from Elon Musk, who literally vowed to defy a Brazilian Supreme Court Chief Justice's demand that he secretly ban certain prominent Brazilians from his site 'X,' formerly known as Twitter, or face criminal charges.
According to the Associated Press:

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — A crusading Brazilian Supreme Court justice has included Elon Musk as a target in an ongoing investigation over the dissemination of fake news, and has opened a separate investigation into the U.S. business executive for alleged obstruction.
In his decision, Justice Alexandre de Moraes noted that Musk on Saturday began waging a public “disinformation campaign” regarding the top court’s actions, and that Musk continued the following day — most notably with comments that his social media company X would cease to comply with the court’s orders to block certain accounts.

Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX who took over Twitter in late 2022, accused de Moraes of suppressing free speech and violating Brazil’s constitution, and noted on X that users could seek to bypass any shutdown of the social media platform by using VPNs, or virtual private networks.

I saw the photo of that Brazilian judge and he looks like the evil twin of Professor Xavier with a mix of James Bond's foe Blofiled.

Think for a second about what you think business acumen is, and if it should really be called that if it has never caused a business to succeed in a big way ever

I think Henry Ford would be a very good example of it and how he succeeded using it. His idea was pretty simple. He wanted the vehicles he was producing to be so affordable that even the people building them could afford to buy one themselves, and so good that they'd actually want to and be proud of the product they were making.

Hence he attracted motivated and loyal employees who stuck around and were willing to give their all to the project, and even buy the products they were making themselves.

I'd call that acumen and it's about the opposite of what passes for business practices these days.

He also never needed a government bailout.

Because a billionaire has your best interests in mind and is actually an IRL Tony Stark who will save the West.

I don't really hope Musk saves anything. He's a nutjob. I just hope he destroys and fucks up a bunch of shit. He is not a force for good, but he is a force for chaos, and I approve of that at this point, since the current order is garbage.

All I'm really saying is, I dont think at any point was anyone nice about it. Nobody actually squared up or pulled punches to say "may the best company win, I will accept whatever result based solely on the practical merits of our respective products"
