  “People are attacked all the time in the media, online media, social media, but it is rare that that actually has a meaningful negative impact on their life,” said Musk.

  F this guy.

    My god, he’s actually playing the victim. What a loser.

    He can’t handle the consequences of his own dumbass actions.

      He was born incredibly rich, he’s never had a material consequence in his life.

      Don’t be fooled, his argument is not that his posts were bad it’s that advertisers didn’t like them.

    Isn’t this the same fragile removed who panicked that his private jet flights were being posted?

      Many have theorized that the MuskJet Tracker account was the biggest reason he purchased Twitter. Because Twitter refused to ban the tracker, so Musk started rumbling about buying it, in an attempt to intimidate them into compliance. Then that backfired on him when Twitter forced the sale.

  Notably, Twitter facilitated communication during the arab spring, where the people organized to stand against and even overthrow several broken and corrupt government regimes throughout the middle east - including some participation in places like Saudi Arabia, for example.

  Twitter’s second largest investor after musk takeover… the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and it’s de facto leader who, among other things, killed and dismembered an American journalist without consequence somewhat recently.

  And now Twitter is about to be killed… and dismembered.

  So you’re saying that it only took him this long to realize that saying “go fuck yourself” in an interview, about advertisers, was not taken well by those advertisers…

  This is just part of his posturing that he “cares more about truth than money”.

  Lemme know when he loses at least 9 zeroes from his wallet, then I might believe he’s financially impaired.

  And laugh.

  He has become self aware. Will it change his behavior?

    No. No it will not. In fact, it may make it worse
