    I doubt Elon Musk just destroyed less than six million dollars of shareholder value.

    Andrew Tate was a viciously bigoted misogynist influencer before he was deplatformed

    I have no idea who the other person is but they're almost definitely a horrible person if they're hanging out with him

    Andrew Tate is basically the current king of the red pill folks. Raging misogynist trying to build an empire out of incels and multi level marketing. Recently got banned from just about every platform because he was just so incredibly misogynistic

    Adin Ross is a prominent twitch streamer who is incredibly, incredibly stupid and will also do absolutely anything for clout. He's platformed Tate multiple times and has just recently flown out to Romania to hang out with him.

    Here is an example of how incredibly big brain Adin Ross is:

    think of the commonly understood idea of chauvinism, like every dumb base cliche character trope that could entail, make that a person and shave his head and put it in sunglasses indoors at all times. that's andrew tate.

    adin ross is some twitch chud what got banned for being an anti gay bigot and assorted chuddery

    Oww... my brain.

    Eh this is the same way my children read until I tell them to go back and slow down. Like this is the same as reading time with my third grader, except the words are "ultranationalist" instead of "anxious"

    They look at the word once, take a shot at it then move on.

    Whatever the actual root cause is, I'm not really onboard with "this person can't read good = this person is stupid"

    There are plenty of other valid reasons to call the man stupid/an asshole, obviously, would rather stick with those

    Andrew Tate is impressively repulsive like if you listen to him for merely a few minutes you're like like "wow truly this man is an unmitigated piece of shit and I hope he dies"

    For all the "I disagree with them but they should be allowed to speak" sort of justifications, nah, Musk agrees with them.

    oh snap almost to a hundred pages maybe then we can get a thread title that doesn't invoke the world's most notorious transphobe

    I hadn't even thought of this when I made the thread title, but I shall change it now that you've pointed it out.

    Yeah six million is approximation of jews killed in the holocaust, so if you can find some way to work that number into an expression involving you doubting something, you get to dogwhistle that

    Like we could actually build a superhuman cyborg in the 1970s for just six million dollars?

    (wait, not dogwhistley enough. uhh, something something Oscar Goldman nailed it.)

    Oh my god he is really that stupid

    And that cruel:
    "Overnight we don't have anything," Adrianna Villarreal, a cleaner who had worked at Twitter since 2018, told the BBC.

    "I can only tell you, I don't have money to pay the rent," Alvarado said. "I'm not going to have medical insurance. I don't know what I'm going to do."

    A spokesperson for Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
