His first thought is that "climate diversification" refers to DEI and so he has to post it on Twitter with the minimal impulse control he has.
Not exactly the smartest egg in the basket to begin with, but his right-wing bias turns him into a literal zombie.


Can you point out misinformation in his tweet??

I'll point 3 in your post:

"example of Elon spreading misinformation"
"His first thought is that "climate diversification" refers to DEI"
"right-wing bias turns him into a literal zombie"


There is no connection to DEI.


I think Razyda's point is that the ideas you presented aren't supported purely by your link, which is a four-word tweet replying to some other tweet. I trust on some level you've read enough to make the connections necessary, but they're not being presented/referenced. I think that's reasonably fair criticism, if that's what they're after.


Read the tweet Elon referred to.

"I don't think the US Taxpayer should pay for the employment of a "Director of Climate Diversification (she/her)" at the US International Development Finance Corporation."

The "she/her" remark is a direct logical leap from "Diversification" as it's being interpreted as "diversity" and it's intended as an attack on wokeness, more specifically on DEI in this instance. This is right-wing logic, not normal people logic. Of course to normal people the logical leap makes no sense because the job position has nothing to do with DEI or wokeness.

There are no other explanations for the "she/her" remark in regards to "Diversification". DEI also happens to be among the main things Elon's been obsessed with in recent years.



I thought it was more sexist than anti-DEI. The she/her indicates this is a woman and it's no coincidence that Elon thinks this woman director has a "fake job." He obviously thinks women have no right doing anything besides birthing his Musklings. Remember, this is right wing logic, not normal people logic.

Sure, but without context such as "DEI also happens to be among the main things Elon's been obsessed with in recent years" and whatever other prior knowledge you have, it's very hard to look at that link and not just read Elon's four words and engage the simplest and most charitable explanation of him directly and only referring to the job title "Director of Climate Diversification".

I understand how much potential dogwhistling and indirect inference is going on in the tweet he's platforming (the one that isn't his own words), but in this particular case it's a stretch to extrapolate that Elon is commenting on DEI with these four words. I understand very much that it COULD be true, but in order to demonstrate that you'd have to have more sources showing why you believe what you believe.

To be clear, my goal here is not to express that your beliefs are wrong, simply that you're being ineffective in expressing them because anyone who does not already share your beliefs will not read that tweet as you have.

What ideas exactly are in the tweet*? How many is "so many"? What are "fake jobs"? Job postings that aren't meant to be filled (which is occasionally a real thing)? Jobs where the employee doesn't actually need to do anything? Jobs that exist only on paper to help catapult the employee to some other jobs?

If the point is that a tweet that contains no actual information technically also contains no misinformation, I guess we can all enjoy what we've achieved today on this forum.

Nah the she/her is a clear dig at preferred pronouns I reckon. So the thrust I think is very much at making fun of DEI and wokeness. Although perhaps there is something instructive in him jumping to ‘must be a woman’ as well, hadn’t considered that actually.

I guess yeah not everyone is a seasoned Musk-observer, so what can be obvious to some can look benign or neutral to others.

It is quite difficult to source sometimes I’ve it’s years of cumulative stuff informing one’s intuition, but yeah agreed.

One would have to question why a man so against trans folks one of his own children disowned him, and he banned (dunno if temporary or not) the word ‘cis’ on his platform, would be using preferred pronouns in a Tweet if not facetiously.

I could give so many other examples of Elon's anti-woke war on Twitter, this is certainly not an outlier. He brigades against wokeness constantly, so I am indeed observing a trend, not just pointing out a single tweet. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Imagine how bad a father you have to be that one of your kids actively disowns you, and you’re not just a regular da, you’re one of the richest people on the planet.

I can only speak for myself but I could stomach rather a lot for that kind of inheritance.

That was actually one of the vilest things I've seen from him. Literally lied about his daughter just to score with his fans and in doing so ruined his relationship with her forever.

you’re trying to give ELON the benefit of the doubt? Why would you defend someone advocating for race wars in the UK?

Not as much that as trying to express taking his tweets at face value or giving him the benefit of the doubt is only wildly unreasonable if you already think he's a monster. I suppose if your demographic is people willing to read a thread with this title, you're probably already on board. Again, I'm not trying to defend Elon, I'm trying to encourage robust argumentation.

This is my point, though. If it's just the tip of the iceberg people not already thinking that iceberg is a big stupid idiot are just going to see a tip of an iceberg and not a sign of the end times. "I could give so many other examples" is a poor defense to pointing at a relatively weak argument.

What ideas exactly are in the tweet*? How many is "so many"? What are "fake jobs"? Job postings that aren't meant to be filled (which is occasionally a real thing)? Jobs where the employee doesn't actually need to do anything? Jobs that exist only on paper to help catapult the employee to some other jobs?

If the point is that a tweet that contains no actual information technically also contains no misinformation, I guess we can all enjoy what we've achieved today on this forum.

* post (formerly known as tweet)


My position is that the charitable 'normie' read of someone who doesn't follow Musk and therefore doesn't know he's kind of a monster is "so many" is "a lot" and "fake jobs" are "Jobs with no obvious benefit to the company/society" and nothing more than those three seconds of thought will be put in to it.

Also it's a tweet like a bandaid is a bandaid and I'll fight everyone.

I've said my piece on the subject, and I'm willing to respond further but I don't necessarily see the fruit.

To stay true to the thread title, lets give another recent example of Elon spreading misinformation. It's a fun little pastime when he doesn't try to spread more fascism.

https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1858916546338590740

His first thought is that "climate diversification" refers to DEI and so he has to post it on Twitter with the minimal impulse control he has.
Not exactly the smartest egg in the basket to begin with, but his right-wing bias turns him into a literal zombie.


Can you point out misinformation in his tweet??

I'll point 3 in your post:

"example of Elon spreading misinformation"
"His first thought is that "climate diversification" refers to DEI"
"right-wing bias turns him into a literal zombie"


There is no connection to DEI.


I think Razyda's point is that the ideas you presented aren't supported purely by your link, which is a four-word tweet replying to some other tweet.

Read the tweet Elon referred to.

"I don't think the US Taxpayer should pay for the employment of a "Director of Climate Diversification (she/her)" at the US International Development Finance Corporation."

The "she/her" remark is a direct logical leap from "Diversification" as it's being interpreted as "diversity" and it's intended as an attack on wokeness, more specifically on DEI in this instance. This is right-wing logic, not normal people logic. Of course to normal people the logical leap makes no sense because the job position has nothing to do with DEI or wokeness.

There are no other explanations for the "she/her" remark in regards to "Diversification". DEI also happens to be among the main things Elon's been obsessed with in recent years.


Sure, but without context such as "DEI also happens to be among the main things Elon's been obsessed with in recent years" and whatever other prior knowledge you have, it's very hard to look at that link and not just read Elon's four words and engage the simplest and most charitable explanation of him directly and only referring to the job title "Director of Climate Diversification".

I understand how much potential dogwhistling and indirect inference is going on in the tweet he's platforming (the one that isn't his own words), but in this particular case it's a stretch to extrapolate that Elon is commenting on DEI with these four words. I understand very much that it COULD be true, but in order to demonstrate that you'd have to have more sources showing why you believe what you believe.

To be clear, my goal here is not to express that your beliefs are wrong, simply that you're being ineffective in expressing them because anyone who does not already share your beliefs will not read that tweet as you have.


you’re trying to give ELON the benefit of the doubt? Why would you defend someone advocating for race wars in the UK?

Not really the issue people actually had with Musk in that instance

I always knew this website had an extreme far left political bias. Good to see now people finally admitting it. Nothing worse than radical leftists who think and say they are centrists, whether delusional or intentionally misleading.

Probably just to steer up some shit.

I wouldn’t say this place is “extremely far left” just extreme in the sense that it is very either/or.
But I guess that’s a reflection of American politics in general?

Is anyone even interested in trying to see both sides of things?
It feels like people have already made up their minds and are just trying to “win”.

Ok saying as you asked nicely, but I’m very reluctant to!
