You'd need to tell me what the targeted ad campaign was so I can look into it, I don't use facebook

Basically conservatives are shown conservative ads with conservative talking points.

Liberals would be shown the liberal ads. 

This brainwashes, manipulates, and radicalises both sides making them easier to control for the liberal elite. Divide and Rule 2.0.

This also means that anyone who is wealthy enough can win elections, making democracy a farce. Have 50 million to spend on FB ads is what you need to do to become the American president. Facebook is the number one culprit for this but he doesn't evoke criticism because he has (he/him) in his bio.

 

Had Musk paid lip service to liberal talking points he would also get no criticism at all.

Systems are individuals. Every time I criticically analyze a perspective it's because its part of a system. If we were islands as individualist-bias believes no action or inaction would affect another. Perhaps I do spend too much time looking at the individual's method of reasoning though, I will take that into consideration. Also, if you were to have presented the system more in your posts, we'd be talking about that more, not our own perceptional biases.

Systems are what you use to rule the individuals. Which is why you throwing tantrums about Musk is meaningless.

This also applies for RWs throwing tantrums about Nanci Pelosi or Biden.

Individuals are a distraction and it takes action, attention away from the system. The system is rigged against the common man. If you think Musk is the problem, it's because the system is designed to delude you into taking advantage of your emotional pressure points to think X or Y is the problem.

Meta/Threads/Instagram is a far greater problem to Mankind than Musk or X. Musk is a builder and an action taker on top of being an immature asshole.

My 'tantrums' were me describing why he's a bad communicator, why one moderator is no better than another when they exclude different social groups or political ideologies. I was describing why he's promoting social unrest and why Twitter will lose a percentage of its user base. Sure I linked it up a bit to a wider context also to give it more depth. Your version of free speech doesn't exist, I am starting to realize it can't exist in the current way people approach an alternative viewpoint as a threat to their own. 

Had Musk paid lip service to centrist liberals, he would have shown more communication skills. I would have still been here with criticism, it depends how much you value image over substance. There is a certain percentage of liberal bias that just needs feelings and civility maintained and it's not without value either. If people are generally pleasant or show some respect to each other, the temperature goes down, and it's easier for them to interact. It's also easier for advertisers to use the platform without losing business. 

Again what you don't like is of little relevance to whether others share your view. If I were of your mindset or temperament i'd say 'get over it', 'stop throwing tantrums over what others are telling you'. This is the reality, and your complaining about the response others give what they see is nearly pointless, unless you are connecting with them somehow personally.

Systems do rule individuals yes, and individuals make up the systems that rule them. One doesn't exist without the other. In the case of popular support dropping for something the system either crumbles, or if it's forcibly maintained there is social unrest again. Either aspect can be looked at, and doing so can make a difference.

The brainwashing you are referencing is people trying to sell something and the way communication is currently flawed. I've mentioned I don't like the data collection which makes this possible. It's not as insidiously motivated as you are inferring, it's mostly just people trying to sell something, boost their favored political ideology (for money), and yes do damage while they do so. Almost every way communication is designed is harmful to a large whole. That's a wider conversation. The loudest voice gets heard, the most money gets heard, the most persistent person typing gets their medium promoted or heard, etc. - Its not a natural or healthy environment for a balanced or grounded communication medium. Just think how search engines are designed, forums are designed, tweets gets views, or YouTube views get views. Drama, false inventions, spam, money, hype, volume etc. - If these flaws were fixed, many of the systematic problems would die down with it. - One positive example are the media sites that have all the news channels rated by bias, and the trending stories according to bias for a multipolar view.

Billionaires are extremely damaging to society, for some of the reasons i've listed above, and many others, not least of which is the amount of power it affords a single individual for misuse or just enforcing their values or beliefs. In this context, Musk is his own worst enemy. He can't conceive what he needs to, to achieve what he wants. He doesn't have the skillset, the temperament, the willingness to delegate, enough people who aren't yes men around him. He's got way over-invested emotionally and made this business his identity, which leads to poor decisions. Like insulting advertisers, then saying its their fault for leaving.

As i've said, if you alienate liberals, you won't have liberals on the platform. Socialists are not friends of billionaires, my words would be banned in 5 minutes if I accessed that part of myself on X, and it got any views. So half of the human experience is disallowed. There is a limited window of communication that will be allowed on X, and it may come with less cost because fewer people will be there, which might mean it can get by on less advertising revenue.

I don't use Instagram you'll be unsurprised to hear, no interest in just viewing other people's photo albums, it seems a bit weird to me unless it was a friends. I am not sure what meta is in this context. I've heard of Threads being an alternative to Twitter? So we'll see about that. Meta, if you mean the attempt at VR for the millionth time in my lifetime, I don't see it. VR is so inconvenient and expensive to use for the average person. All the other things you need to do in life offline (or online) can't be done while wearing VR, its clumsy and always about half as useful or responsive as a decent UI in 2D. MMOs had their time, we did second life already, and it was fun but now niche. For all the reasons Second Life is a niche product, an attempt at recreation will be niche. It may get some new people trying the experience for the first time, but I can all but predict how it will go having lived that experience once before.

Elon Musk is the richest loser in the world.

His billions cannot buy him being cool and it's been eating at him.  Like a narcissistic loser nerd in high school, except he's in his 50s.

Compound this with the internet rotting his old ass brain, you get this twitchy stumbling weirdo you got at the NYT interview.  It's almost polarizing to see a normal human being (reporter) and the guy who obviously has brain rot (elon) in that interview lol.

Yes, I was talking about that, this idea didn't come from me but from a video from a bodybuilding YouTuber that I saw a while ago, maybe moreplatesmoredates? I do not know anymore.
This is a trend among many billionaires and it is a possibility when we notice the evolution of Musk's physique and behavior.
I'm not giving it up just to troll, I already used testosterone cream for a few weeks to try until I found myself constantly over 5000ng/dl with DHT through the roof, same for E2. Then I also experimented a little later with large doses of clomid.
I also have in mind the experience of many people I have spoken to on meso rx and other forums.

Large doses of testosterone will quickly transform you into a hysterical libertarian with little respect for authority and any form of self-limiting concepts linked to said authority, such as ethics, morality, etc. For example, you may very quickly find yourself wanting to scam/use people, doing illegal things and getting angry if someone tries to limit your scope of action.
But above all it makes you delusional, for example if you receive a death threat from the mafia, with a normal hormonal profile you will just submit or at least manage to save your family, BUT if you are under too high levels of androgens (and e2) or even worse even more powerful steroids, you can for example get it in your head that you are going to take a gun and destroy the mafia all by yourself while listening to 2pac, even if it is completely irrational lol.
The same goes for any other subject in life (women, business, etc.)

You better start a testosterone distribution company Valentin.

I don't know why I have this feeling that his whole twitter saga is some Orwellian nightmare drama just for trolling and seeking attention. I mean he had put that money to good use. It's just insane.

@Leo Gura True. A psychopath would just take a deep breath, cut his dick off and get the job done.

Success is not a measure of character or even integrity. A homeless dude might have more integrity than the Jobs's, Gates's and Musk's of the world.
