But Musk is trashing his own PR machine, you say? Why would he do that? Because it's his to destroy. Does that hurt him, in the end? Yes. But the ego threat it represents when independent is too much for him to cope with. And he is ultimately insulated from any material harms -- he's still rich, and now you have no Twitter. The billionaires have to live on earth too, you say? They would rather destroy it for everyone else rather than cede control, even to people better qualified or equipped.

@reneestephen@mastodon.social I disagree. We're not "going into" a climate crisis; we're in one already, and have been in one for some time. The air quality in NYC just means that the chickens have come home to roost.

@reneestephen@mastodon.social I suspect they understand; they just don't care what happens after they die with the most toys/accolades.

@reneestephen@mastodon.social I've been screaming this for years. We are all on a submarine to the Titanic built by a guy who is too brave to be held back by needless government regulation and the only difference between us and the Titan is that this time they're not even on the fucking ship with us so we won't have the satisfaction of knowing that at least they perished as well.

@reneestephen@mastodon.social More precisely, it's how those with psychopathic disorders behave.

@reneestephen@mastodon.social no matter how smart you may be, 10 years of nobody ever telling you "no" will make you stupid.

@reneestephen@mastodon.social it would be nice if there was more mainstream coverage of what kind of damage businesses are doing. i.e. 'back to office' crap should at least get the environmental damage news coverage it deserves considering it's a topic they keep talking about.

@reneestephen@mastodon.social agreed. I’m kinda tired of people trying to sell us that this is all some 4d chess to destroy free speech by taking down a platform people already hated. It really is as simple as “billionaires make dumb choices because they are surrounded by yes men”

@reneestephen@mastodon.social I agree with most of your warning. The only portion I question is their "zero understanding ". They understand. Fully. It's blatant and wilful ignorance. A recent avoidable submarine tragedy and the potential collapse of once-thriving social platforms are proof. However, it's their motivation which drives their ignorance. More. Translated: pure greed. Greed is a powerful mistress. And that mistress would destroy anything simply to have more, if not all. No care, no concern...MORE
