    lol does he not realize that he has delegitimized any credibility his platform once held?

    I’m sure they do not care.

      No, this is a straight up win for UAW. They are trying to unionize Tesla’s workers, so any anti-union activity on Elon’s part only plays into their hands at the NLRB level.

      It’s not that he doesn’t care. It’s the goal. Killing the credibility of social media is a top priority for authoritarians. They can’t have people talking to each other outside of the shaped narratives delivered by their media companies. That’s why companies spend so much on bot farms, shills and influencers. In order to shape public narratives when they can’t control the media.

      “Oh no! My blue check!!” It’s not real and it’s not a display of power like he thinks.
