@prologic@twtxt.net I didn’t think too much of him previously; didn’t dislike him any more than I dislike billionaires generally. He just seemed like a run of the mill rich guy con artist who happened to appeal to a certain type of tech guy. But, the other day he tweeted something about his first born child dying in his arms and how he felt the last heartbeat. But then his ex-wife tweeted that no, in fact the child had suffered from SIDS and died in her arms. And that soured me on him completely forever. He’s the sort of self-important narcissist who would make up something about a dying baby to try to score points in an online argument. That’s so pathetic and contemptible.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci (forking this because I don’t want to talk about misinformation and/or covid, but more focus on what really bugs me about the state of things, “information warfare”) – This is just abhorrent (if true, obviously I believe you, but I have no interest in Twitter or following billionaires beyond word-of-mouth Yarns like this…) – I agree with you 💯 and share a similar view, I also never thought much of Elon Musk either, initially had thoughts of “Oh cool, this guy is building that and this and the other. Awesome!” – But boi do things change… Maybe its the love of money and power that’s gotten to his late of late? 🤔 I dunno 🤔 I’d love to have even a small fraction of that kind of money just to a) understand what its like and b) prove that you don’t have to be an asshole or a self-important narcissist (I hate this about “people” that get into positions of “power”, such self-important BS)

Anyway this a perfect example of what I see as “information warfare”, who do you believe? Elon or his ex-wife?! 🤦‍♂️ Also why in da fuq would you use a child’s (short) life to prop yourself up?! 🤬 I mean fuck c’mon Elon, grow the fuck up, I’m a father of two young beautiful daughters, I can never, ever doing that kind of shit.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci and Steve Jobs, and Trump, and Sergey Brin.

Based on https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36376918-ceo-society
People are not trusting anymore on politicians, religious leaders or elders, so they are looking for figures like ‘self-made billionaires’

We know that’s a romantic PoV, we can watch the amazing keynotes from Jobs and the beautiful products, but that’s only a thin slice of what’s behind a Public Relations team.

I just don’t understand how people can behave this way and things like #abxlsba happen 🤦‍♂️ I just don’t get it 🤣
