Overall I think he just slides into their DM when others won't, they reply when they usually wouldn't (who wouldn't reply to Elon Musk?) and when they do decide to hear him out IRL he convinces them of his grand vision for the future and saving humanity from extinction.
Some type of "Our child will inherit the stars" kind of thing with the addition of not having to work ever again. It's some kind of forbidden fruit taboo story that gets their mind racing and then there is of course all the other women that came before that never said a bad word about the experience, leading them to believe that he is quite skilled and has autistically mastered pleasing the female body or some such.

(Or at least he used to be.) He clearly has some form of personal magnetism that doesn't come across in his tweets. You can discern this from his entire career before Twitter. And even from the reporting of when he walked into Twitter and charmed a number of distrustful staff. He clearly charmed Trump as well. Grimes may be the type of Twitter weirdo that Elon is, same with this woman, but none of his other women have been. One thing they all had in common is spending personal time with Elon. You can also gather this from Tesla's vague warnings about assigning women to Elon. Unfortunately, this won't help you personally so you didn't consider it as an explanation despite how obvious it is. ![]()

Musks bullshit is clearly working and people who should know better That's how it works though. They create a channel for you to see and repost disinformation because it aligns with your bias. This is effectively what the culture war is, people spreading false messages to create political change which benefits...the russians. Musk and Trump and Putin want you to attack the UK government, because the UK government is Russia's bogeyman. This is not even just true of the Labour government, as the Conservatives would be in the same position too (note how they want Reform boosted).

My centrist position is: there are networks dedicated to boosting negative and horrific stories. Many are known to be run by foreign entities. Calling it all disinformation is insulting to people who see and live all this. It pushes them towards distrusting official channels, their government, and into the deep end of conspiracies. They’re fucking themselves over. The path to Trump’s return was set by the Biden administration doing that type of shit instead of finding a sensible strategy.
Anyway, the UK has bigger problems than Russia. Kratos is slinging dope. ![]() (02-16-2025, 09:37 AM)Besticus Maximus wrote:(02-15-2025, 11:48 PM)killamajig wrote:(02-15-2025, 05:07 PM)Besticus Maximus wrote: The uk government does not have anything to do with this, it’s an independent court decision.

I think it's a bit much to assume every stupid thing on the internet is an elaborate Russian scheme that works coherently towards Russian goals. Sounds like the superhuman paranoid Cold War nonsense. Have you ever seen a Russkie drink a glass of water?

Sounds like the superhuman paranoid Cold War nonsense. Have you ever seen a Russkie drink a glass of water? Who said any of it had to be coherent? Musk is now on board as being the vehicle for misinformation that seeds regime change across the countries who are showing opposition to Russian aggression, and funding parties from both sides to achieve it at the ballot box, while there is an entire Russian government department now dedicated to sabotage in europe. What's particularly interesting is that they were doing all this stuff on a smaller, British media scale before Musk got involved. Tommy Robinson, Farage, the Brexit lot were taking Russian money to do this long before Musk declared that he'd get involved as well. This is an article in the telegraph, talking about a police force releasing an updated mugshot, which is now being shared around by Americans because they think the UK government is enabling jihad. It's the thing in action. Anyway I'll stop careposting until the next disastrous thing happens.

Yep, the US investigations basically concluded that they amplify existing narratives but fail at creating new ones. Their subversion tactics only seem to work in countries with strong Russian ties and Russian citizens like Georgia and Ukraine. In all other cases when some swastika's are scribbled somewhere it's "oh look it's the Russians again". It is more likely that Elon, Sacks, Thiel and the rest of the e/acc gang are more interested in taking over Russia and it's resources for pennies on the dollar for their multiplanetary future than that they are interested in the Russian agenda itself. Trump also knows what kind of loot awaits if Russia collapses like it did in the 90's.

The argument is essentially that normal politics in a democracy is an incoherent Russian scheme because they throw a few irrelevant rubles at already popular entities who speak to long held ideological strands of the public. The assumption seems additionally to be that a narrow briefly held elite conception of things is the actual "true" untainted views of the populace. It pretty much literally is the Cold War "elite consensus" that was obvious nonsense.

I don't think much of anyone had "excessive free speech" to disagree with the Fuhrer in Nazi Germany. But I may have missed something as I'm learning a lot of new stuff about the Nazis these days.
