Elon Musk.

musk intent on getting rid of the 'block' function on X, a function used by many to prevent stalkers and abusers from seeing their posts or contacting them. This mainly affects women but not exclusively.

After musk made it clear he was planning to do away with the feature, Blue Sky placed an announcement on their X account that read:

“At Bluesky, we take online safety seriously,” it wrote. “If you want to block someone, you can! It’s your experience to customize.”

over 100,000 people exited X and joined Blue Sky... unfortunately, that mass exodus and joining caused Blue Sky issues with coping and it was knocked offline for a while.

Personally, I hope more people leave the site since musk doesn't deserve to earn a cent off them. He doesn't understand the point of a block button and sees doing away with it altogether in the future. He would, right?

“One of the biggest functions of blocking is giving women the ability to stop weird men from constantly making them uncomfortable and scared,” one user wrote. “So of course Elon had to change that.”

update to above:

Right after the changes were announced, BlueSky, a competing platform founded by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, proclaimed that it had received more than 100,000 new users. Barely twelve hours later, that tally climbed to half a million, the company said Thursday — and it's not showing signs of slowing down.

But the single most impactful incident was probably Musk's dispute with Brazil's top court, which led to Twitter being banned in the country after the billionaire magnate refused to comply with a judge's orders to remove accounts accused of spreading misinformation.

Musk blinked first and eventually complied to get the ban lifted. But the damage was done: Bluesky gained over three million new users within days of the ban, the overwhelming majority of whom were Brazilian.

Such is Musk's proclivity for shooting himself — and his businesses — in the foot, while handing his competitors an advantage.

Blue Sky has a term for these times: an EME or Elon Musk Event

Go and have another look at the soft landing achieved by the returning Spacex rocket. Then try and convince yourself that Musk is an idiot. The OP suggested that he was pretty horrible and an asshole, but this achievement was colossal, and I thought Americans would not be so small minded as to downplay the achievement. Yes it is a team effort but there is no doubt that Musk was the driving force and intellect behind that team. Credit where it is due - as well as debit.

When we were sending astronauts to the moon on the Apollo missions, what we saw with the SpaceX catch wasn't even imaginable.

Now we can catch a giant booster rocket in mid air while it hovers in front of the gantry, land other boosters on a post-it note sized floating platform out on the ocean, and are talking about sending people to Mars.

Our knowledge and computers have come a long way.

BlueSky has added one million new users since the election. Many of the major Twitter accounts are in the process of migrating over there now.

Catturd and Laura Loomer have already been banned on BlueSky.

It would seem Leon really shit the bed on this one.

Personally Musk should have just concentrated on SpaceX and solar roof tiles. He did save some social media from the FEDs... I don't use twitter/X or fakebook so they will have to figure something else to get me. He loses many points for being trumps buddy. He walked off a trump panel last time so I don't know what changed. I think they think they are using each other. I think he went with trump because for some reason Obama/Biden do not like him. I guess they did not like him for not hiring illegal aliens for high tech jobs. Musk is my perfect example for not having hero's. They will break your heart every time

Well, Trump should have just kept his 400 million and gone into entertainment, because that's where his talent really lies. He's an actor, a con man, a showman. That's his skill set. It's just that he learned two lessons from Daddy Fred and Fred Junior. 1. Don't drink. 2. Don't go your own way and chart your own course. Stay in the family shop, be a slumlord like Dear Old Dad.

Poor “Leon”…

From the article:

“Musk has been so aggressive in pushing his views about Trump’s second term that he’s stepping on the toes of Trump’s transition team and may be overstaying his welcome at Mar-a-Lago, according to two people familiar with the transition who have spent time at the Palm Beach, Florida, resort over the past week.

The sources said that Musk’s near-constant presence at Mar-a-Lago in the week since Election Day had begun to wear on people who’ve been in Trump’s inner circle longer than the tech billionaire and who see him as overstepping his role in the transition. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they’re not authorized to speak publicly.

“He’s behaving as if he’s a co-president and making sure everyone knows it,” one of the people said of Musk.

“And he’s sure taking lots of credit for the president’s victory. Bragging about America PAC and X to anyone who will listen. He’s trying to make President Trump feel indebted to him. And the president is indebted to no one,” this person added. “



Trouble in Mar - a - dise.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Musk will have a public falling out with Trump around April 2025.
Once Musk gets Trump to remove Musk's Starlink network from the banned list of vendors for the rural America satellite internet system, he has no real reason to remain

Is DonOld worried about “Leon” cucking him with “Melanie”???



Is that why reports of “Leon” becoming persona non grata at Mar-a-lago are circulating, and why DonOld humiliated “Leon” by pairing him with Vivek at "The DOGE"???

 

[ishtat]

To what extent is Musk's relatively recent interest in Politics driven by his very 'Anti-Woke' views and particularly his experience with his Trans child, Vivian, formerly Xavier (20). His Trans child clearly hates him with a passion and he has responded by saying that Vivian/Xavier is 'dead to him now.' The only specific indication from Musk is that on reflection he thinks that irreversible Medical intervention was carried out far too soon.

I don't think he even knows her name any more.

Tesla used to be the biggest EV manufacturer in the world. A year or so ago Tesla fell to second place behind BYD. The October figures show that Tesla has now fallen to third place behind another Chinese company, Geely. Tesla has ongoing problems with the quality of batteries sourced from Korea. He desperately needs to hang on to supplies from CATL and BYD. CATL's boss and Musk don't get on that well and BYD is giving preference to their expanding the use of their own batteries. Musk will probably have to ask Trump for some sort of relief from the Tariff on imported batteries. Trump would be in a position to extract much for any special treatment.

The power of the State to pick winners and losers and get in there and compete against free nations, as a wo-man among sporting women...

Bigger, better, faster EVs than Capitalism can provide. Individuals are passé, it takes a village.

Every village needs a Witch Doctor.

Musk should have stayed green.
