Musk Wins the Battle of Words Over Twitter

There simply comes a point where you can’t guilt people any further, like when they realize the carbon Davos wants to reduce is them.

This is why Elon Musk telling all the boycotting companies to “Go. Fuck. Yourselves,” wasn’t just hilarious it was a clarion call to those whose voices have been marginalized by fake outrage engendered by fake people funding fake causes to promote fake wisdom maintaining very real power.

He finally just said what all of us have been thinking, “If someone is going to blackmail me with advertising… blackmail me with money? Go fuck yourselves.”

You’re going to silence me with shame and derision because you formed an opinion on something last week? Go fuck yourself.

You’re going to threaten to burn the world to the ground if you don’t get your way? Go. Fuck. Yourself.

You’re going to embarrass the FOMC Chair with Climate Change Stunt Protestors at the IMF? Close the Fucking Door.

Musk finally put to bed a lot of lingering doubts about why he not only bought Twitter, but which side of the war he’s actually fighting for, that of humanity itself.

He may have some crackpot ideas of where humanity should go, but it’s obvious it’s not Elon’s bag to mandate those ideas; only allow them the opportunity to find their voice in the miasma of projectile emoting masquerading as public discourse.

He may become the enemy we fight tomorrow, but that’s tomorrow. Too many people are looking too far ahead or, worse, too far behind. That’s noise. Worse, it’s a kind of cope for avoiding the responsibility of doing anything substantive now.

It was a cry for help from him to the users of Twitter/X to find a business model that puts advertisers on their virtue signaling backfoot, where they fucking belong. Zerohedge has it mostly right, boycott the boycotters.

I don’t disagree with the sentiment and certainly cancel your Disney+ account if you feel the need to do something.

The problem with that, of course, as I’ve discussed before, is that most of the companies who are boycotting Twitter are companies targeted for destruction by Davos. Many of them have snakes in their gardens. They aren’t actually the order-makers, they too, like even evil people like Mitch McConnell and Ursula Von der Leyen are order-takers.

They are targets because they have been in the past pillars of our culture (Disney), economy (IBM), and access to the modern world (Apple). Why do you think they went after Patreon so early in the game? To slow down the growth of alternative funding for the opposition. Do you really think Patreon, for example, has the resources to fight George Soros?

If you do? Go. Fuck. Yourself.

Do you think Davos isn’t cheering every time Disney releases another The Marvels to bomb at the box office?

Did Anheuser-Busch repent after Dylan Mulvaney?

Did Fox News take Tucker Carlson back?

Did Coke really stop its anti-white internal policies?

Get the hint, this isn’t about Disney or Apple, Bud Light or the NFL… these are the hallmarks of your middle class lifestyle they want destroyed. So, while boycotting them is perfectly fine, they aren’t the real enemy…

… you are, unless you stop defining yourself by what you’re against.

You have to finally stand up and say you stand for something and are willing to do something other than make another Pepe meme or retweet another brilliant Babylon Bee headline.

And nebulous concepts like ‘freedom’ and even ‘sovereignty’ aren’t a good place to start the argument, especially in the war of words with NPC’s. It has to be tangible. Go after them over diddling, stabbing, or clothes-hangering children.

Shame the ever-living fuck out of them!

Advertiser boycotts are a form of regulatory capture, influence peddling. If you want a platform to speak your mind without offending the influence peddling pedos behind the curtain, then complaining about it isn’t a solution.

If you want a global platform to speak your mind you will have to pay for it directly. You have to defend it. And defense costs money and time.

Twitter is becoming a wasteland of repeated feeds and low engagement because Musk doesn’t have the money to churn new information through the Amazon Web Servers. This is what he means by these fuckheads “will kill the company.” Twitter/X is a database nightmare of epic proportions. It’s a miracle it even works at all.

What’s needed now is capital and not capital encumbered by the demands of a bunch of corporatist order-taking assholes. That money needs to come from us. Our voices, our money. Because its our gold one the line. Our goats they are getting. And our guns they want.

Go. Fuck. Yourselves.

My good friend Vince Lanci had a brilliant idea the other day on, of all places, Twitter/X:

Leaving the protection of your rights in the hands of advertisers speaking on your behalf is your problem, not Musk’s or Twitter’s.

Advertisers holding companies hostage has been a hallmark of media going back to the birth of media itself. They have used it to shape your thoughts, influence your language, program your children, and poison the garden of your mind.

They turned the internet into 1970’s television. When something is free, you are the product.

So, the question now is what are you willing to do to defend your speech from the gardeners who want to prune you out of the conversation?

Because if your answer is more of the same whining about how the internet should be free, then I agree with Elon. Go. Fuck. Yourself.
