GFY

video cover

Love or hate Elon is takes some brass cojones to tell the people you are selling to (advertisers in this case) GFY I will not be black mailed by money. Probably helps when you are the richest man in the world but nevertheless. The 1st amendment of the U.S constitution has a lot of wisdom in it and I appreciate seeing people stand up for it. Anyone else watch this interview/ have opinions about it?

The First Amendment has very little to do with a private company and whether or not brands choose to advertise on it. It's amazing to me how many still do not understand that freedom of speech does not protect one from the consequences of that speech, especially in an open market.
In fact, one could say that those companies are exercising their own right to freedom of speech, and they've decided to invest it elsewhere.

Exactly. This doesn't have anything to do with the first amendment.

I'd hate to be on the Twitter sales team.

Also, nobody is blackmailing him. Theyโ€™re flat turning their backs. The tough guy thing fell flat.

I completely agree that there are consequences for free speech and the free market will settle stupid speech. That said, the Twitter files showed a private organization was being heavily influenced to limit free speech by the government tasked with protecting the amendments of our constitution. So I saw this relating to free speech. However, your point about the market serving proper consequences is spot on and something I could not agree with more.

By the way the Twitter files were complete BS and twitters own lawyer's refuted that claim: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/06/06/tech/twitter-files-lawyers/index.html

People are so quick to flock to his bandwagon, but this is exactly it.
This is how the free market works too.

I'm a fan of Elon's businesses and the products they sell, and really think what SpaceX is doing is incredible.
However, it's shocking to me how many times he displays such severe immaturity. The man just refuses to take the high road on anything.

Or just shut up. That would be a start. His investors are the ones with brass cojones in addition to what must be cast iron stomachs.

Wife does this. Spaghetti in the pantry is removed from their otherwise conspicuous cardboard boxes and placed in lucite, air-tight containers, which are clearly labeled spaghetti. I canโ€™t find shit. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Remember when he publicly fired that guy over twitter, and said he was lazy? The guy turned out to have a severe medical condition, but also had an insane employment contract after twitter bought out his company? Not only was it wildly immature, but showed that elon was incapable of doing 2 minutes of research to find out who the guy was.

Followed by being exactly the type of antisemetic that made these companies see him and his media outlet as huge risks in the first place.

Homie is high on speed on a stage in front of the very people without whom his company becomes nothing but stormfront, porn and bigotry that would make David Duke tell them to tune it down a little.

The market reacted to something he did, and pulled their money. Nothing to do with the first amendment IMO.

what's the point of having fuck you money, if you dont even say fuck you. be like Elon, he later says dont vote for Biden which is fucking hysterical. the guy really doesn't give a fuck, which is why he is probably the most loved business person in America bc hes not corrupted by politics or money
