If his story ends in defenestration I would be tickled.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Assuming the feud is real (I'm still suspicious, as when they announced him leaving no one believed musk was truly leaving) I would imagine musk would try to get trump removed and after failing I really wouldn't be surprised we would see some assassination attempts.
BTW I'm not on Twitter, but when he says that trump wouldn't win election without him, I wish people would respond that he is full of bullshit and trump alone would win anyway, pushing him to say more.

I believe that Trump may not have won without him. He weaponized twitter to push misinformation against the Dems and in favour of Trump. I don't know if the result of that can be quantified in such a way that we'd know for sure whether it changed the outcome, but it certainly had an impact.
Sorry for not being clear. I do too think that musk helped in a significant way, but I wanted to someone to reasons to musk this way to trigger him and hopefully spill more incriminating information.
his starlink satellite also manipulated the voter counts of the machines.
I think what another important thing he did is he spoiled the place for the democrat-leaning public that started to see less and less content\traction\support there than they did before, but saw swarms of bots, elonposting, weakening factcheck and moderation instead. Twitter launched a lot of #movements, even those localized in the internet, due to it's turbulent nature. But on X many felt disengaged, lonely and not pumped up enough to do anything, even vote.
He'd have a good time there with the others who got asylum... Assad, Yanukovych, Marsalek, ...

That would be the dumbest thing he could possibly do to himself. Honestly I hope he is smarter than that because Putin would turn him upside down and shake him until every last nickel falls out of his pockets, and put it all into the war effort against the Ukraine.
Take it! I mean, people act like he “owns” his companies but he owns like 8% of Tesla and SpaceX is probably similar. No one gives a shit about his monkey torture project and X+xAI is worthless. Boring Company isn’t doing anything. And if you’re the “CEO” of more than one company, you’re actually running zero. He’s a mascot. We could probably be rid of him for less than the price of widening an interstate for ignorant reasons.
SpaceX is probably similar
Tesla is a publicly-traded company. There is no reason to believe SpaceX, which is still privately held, should be similar.
A 2023 Wall Street Journal article (linked here in archive form) claims Musk controls 42% of its equity has 79% voting control.
Thank you for the clarification. None of us know their cap table, obviously, but that’s more plausible than me just guessing based on Tesla.
Of course they would, think of how much data this guy has that he could provide.
This is fucking hilarious
Why elon musk doesn't just leave? he have money, he can be doing anything, he can be learning how to bake, or, improving his gaming skills without the media eye
