  • He’s mad cause the Democrats are absolutely crushing it. They went from being over 3 points behind in most polls with Biden, to now being almost 4 points ahead on average. He’s ignored the advice of all his campaign advisors… he really couldn’t help himself. Now he’s relying on Elon to help him “win” the election and it isn’t working as expected. All they have left it is perpetuate conspiracies & lies and hope that Twitter (X) has enough reach to change the outcome of the election. Musk isn’t even hiding that he’s manipulating the algorithms and allowing bots to run rampant anymore. THAT is their strategy to try to win. If he loses then Musk will immediately try to sell if he can, but X is now worth a small fraction of what he paid for it. I’d be surprised if he could get 2 billion for it. This was in 2023:

    Musk will have literally thrown away $40+ billion if Kamala wins.


  • Microsoft won’t even let you setup Windows now without an online account, unless you modify the installer or enter the terminal during installation. I don’t like Google but for God’s sake the issue isn’t just with Google. We need better laws and regulations in the US. Going after Google when other companies are just as corrupt or worse solves nothing. It just paves the way for worse actors. You can’t even remove your Microsoft Store apps once they’ve been downloaded from your library. At least with Google I can remove that and manage lots of privacy settings. Google isn’t an angel but there are bigger demons out there that seem to be getting a free pass.
