The Twitter Files, Part Six

Re:The Twitter Files, Part Six by davidbarker on Saturday December 17, 2022 @02:53AM (#34025786)

I replied to a tweet that referenced Musk and Tesla, and simply mentioned that I sold my Tesla shares at the beginning of this week (and made a loss) because I didn't want any association with Musk any more.

The replies I got from Musk fans were shockingly (maybe not so shockingly) vile.

Turns out Musk sold his Tesla shares at the same time as I did — I wonder how those people replying to me would square that with their insults.

Consistency isn't Musk's fanboys strong suit.

I'm certainly not going to defend the people insulting you, but suggesting that you sold for moral, and not financial, reasons comes off as very sanctimonious and invites that type of reply in a cesspit like Twitter.

They're welcome to reply how they want to, but it's an example of the discourse on Twitter, as mentioned in the parent comment.

As a Musk fan (well, sorta, this twitter posturing is mega cringe), I applaud your common sense in selling a grossly overvalued stock (which I am confident Musk also thinks is overvalued).
