Elon make a new account dedicated to attacking the Brazilian judge who shut down Twitter and the first thing he did was doxx the accounts Brazil was asking to block

People still think this man is a genius businessman, yet all he's done since buying twitter is lose money on it.

He's continuing to collect government money to continue filling his leaky companies, so maybe he's a genius at that.

[–] motherofmonsters@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

90% sure he’s making lemons out of lemonade and trying to make it into a destabilizing / radicalizing hellhole for right propaganda

Doesn’t matter if it loses money if it helps you get people in office or the hogs frothing mad enough for revolution/violence

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

More like a fascist coup than any real revolution

omg is he actually this guy

[–] newacctidk@hexbear.net 53 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Seeing Brazilian streamers and the like who are usually apolitical freak the fuck out over this has been so weird. One being like "we are evil communists now". Like aim that shit at Musk not Lula or the courts. This is a real national security issue

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 51 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

also the reason why twitter was banned was because Musk didnt name a new legal representative after he fired the old one, and Brazil law demands all companies to have a legal representative which is a law pretty much all countries in the world also have.

Elon threw a temper tantrum and is now saying he is the victim

needs to be a bit bigger tho

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He could have just named a new representative and continue with the crybullying or just say he was forced by the evil commies to ban the 7 accounts, but its elon and he has to pick the dumbest decision posible

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think he's hoping this will lead to his fascist fans to do some violence.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Stochastic terrorism, but incredibly impatient.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Considering Lula's govt actually decided to punish the fascist rioters during their little riot the other year, hopefully it dissuaded some of these freaks...maybe.

I still don't understand this. It seems like you'd want multiple lawyers on retainer in every country your company operates in so you don't get fucked by some random ass law. How incompetent are you that you not only rely on a single lawyer for an entire country, you also don't have their replacement selected before you even fire them?

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

the legal representative is just a spokeperson for the company that deals with any legal stuff, its like a diplomat in a way and its normal to have one backed by a legal team, Elon fired the old one so that he wouldnt recibe the legal demands of the supreme court in a way to try to own the justices, but the Main judge just gave the 24 hour ultimatum instead of playing games with elon

[–] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is a lesson you learn as a teenager in traffic court.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

Musk, much like Trump, has never faced any adversity in his life. Not just getting what he wants is a new and terrifying experience.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 35 points 2 months ago

People tend to go nuts when the treats are taken away and aren’t a good chunk of Brazilians adoring of the US? Of course they won’t criticize an example of a successful hard worker from there.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

"Apolitical" in this fucking year and age hitler-detector

[–] newacctidk@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Well more confused politics. Other countries also have the people Felix spoke about who are 50% agreeing with Trump and 50% of the time agree with Tulsi or those old libs who want the CIA abolished but voted for Clinton

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Gamers are always like this streamers too

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Seems like a great opportunity to radicalize people?

[–] newacctidk@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Idk it seems like people are just responding with anger at their treats being taken away. They don't care who is actually to blame, they will always side with whoever is technically holding the treats

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Hopefully Brazilian leftists are explaining the billionaire is the one who took the treats away be breaking the law. The judge is just doing his job. If Elon wasn't so lazy he would make a phone call and take care of this.

[–] valveman 44 points 2 months ago

I pretty sure these people he doxxed are really proud of themselves, because an amerikkkan billionaire "noticed" them and is "fighting for their freedom of speech".

Fuck Twitter and fuck Elon.

this kinda blew my mind. Elon really fucked up

[–] goose@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

orkut.com has like a week to put up a mastodon server and strike while the iron is hot

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Wasn't orkut Google?

[–] KrasMazov@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 2 months ago

Elongated Muskrat strikes again lmao. I didn't know we were the 3rd largest group of Twitter users tho, I always thought we Brazilians were a lot smaller on there because Twitter is one of the least used platforms here.

It's cool seeing a lot of Brazilians, specially artists, migrating to Bluesky, at least there are good tools to deal with bullshit and bigotry there, I have yet to see something awful on that site.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Elon taking making a burner account to stalk your ex who has you blocked to the national level.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 23 points 2 months ago

Elon is such a little bitch boy
