The behaviors of some CEOs are making it easy. Oops! Did I victim-blame?

I think he’s trying to attract these unsavory parties, because they are easy to be bought before and after they are in power. Then he can develop his tech any way he sees fit. If you look at how he’s been interacting with other tech leaders, it’s pretty freaky. He was hassling Dr. Hinton not too long before latching onto Trump.

Oh, this is theater again. The smarter MAGA creeps are doing this to distract the public and government (the parts that can actually do something) from Musk’s influence. They totally want his money and interventions. It’s actually encouraging other tech corporations to give them money as Musk is so dangerous in the field (he’s trying to wipe out OpenAI and has hopes to gain assloads of power with his own AI).

This is very concerning for anyone who has paid attention to Musk’s movements/behaviors prior to connecting with Trump. I’m not talking about the X rants (those are a distraction), but Musk’s interaction with the tech industry—particularly the AI industry. I believe the man wants loads of power through AI, and he’ll gain it in very unconventional ways if he influences Trump and the rest of the GOP. This goes beyond an oligarchy. The potential he could have to completely run the world is quite large. This is why so many tech companies are paying massive financial homage to Trump at this time.

Did they find any TP?

I don’t believe she could have without a massive public backlash (and it more likely an investigation would have been from Biden to do that at this point). It’s ridiculous as we have such a double standard, but one side has been dangerously volatile. Regardless, we’re entering some strange( r ) and potentially (more) dangerous times.

Me, too. It’s very odd Trump got the popular vote. I live in a very red county and saw very few Trump signs this time around compared to 2016 and 2020. I didn’t mean to be paying much attention to Musk, but as I’ve been researching AI I’ve seen enough of his whereabouts prior to his new team-up with Trump to be incredibly disturbed. I think he wants to become a god.

He likely would not have won. It surprises me how discrepancies in this election haven’t been questioned, but at this point it may not matter. As for his choice of Merrick Garland. Yeah, that and not really doing much about unseating DeJoy was a mistake.

I prefer it that way. I’d rather be dedicating more conversation with people in my physical space at this time. There’s a reason the Surgeon General declared loneliness an epidemic, and it was heading there prior to the pandemic.

Yeah, one of my resolutions is to give up Reddit. I’ve logged out for now and will be getting my little “social media” fix here for the time-being.

This is all public theater to distract from his actual actions with the government—and the tech industry, too.

I know most people will write this off as him being an idiot, but I believe he’s doing this to distract from his involvement with the government. It’s all theater to distract us from what he and the politicians he’s heavily involved with are actually doing. Add in his involvement in the tech trade, and it’s actually really disturbing what he may be doing.

It’s “reality television” on a discussion forum to karma farm and help push other kinds of misinformation.

Gotta love those dopamine fixes, huh?

That really sucks, but it doesn’t surprise me either. The events in the UK and New Jersey started as a curiosity, but it seems hysteria and a misinformation campaign is running to disrupt information and possibly cause dissonance/distraction within the government. When I saw that Trump posts about it were being super-upvoted, I stopped following the subject in general. After I got banned in “News” for agreeing with an article quoting Feds claiming most of this is folks IDing planes and hobby drones, I’ve been considering taking a Reddit hiatus as one of my New Year’s resolutions. It’s been becoming toxic for a few years now. I stopped actively moderating myself after one of the folks I banned started trying to dox me, and Reddit did nothing about it.

I’m thinking of pulling the plug on Reddit (at least for a while). My tipping point has become how the “drone” story is becoming popular. At first it was intriguing and mysterious (the airport shutdowns and reports of large vehicles at low levels was fascinating), but I’m getting the vibe it’s a misinformation campaign to distract the US from how we are about to be changed.

I was actually permabanned in the “News” sub for an innocuous comment. All it was is that I noted the federal authorities are likely correct for saying most of the reports of “UFOs” are likely airplanes and manmade drones, and to play devil’s advocate I mentioned there were likely legitimate reports of UAPs, but since the majority were probably mistaken planes the Federal agencies’ reactions were technically truthful.
