I happened to run across some clips today of Elon firing some people from Twitter/X which were kind of enjoyable to watch. The best one was when he fired his brown censorship woman live on Rogan. She says something about how they failed in a couple of ways and Elon says, "Failure comes with a penalty. You're fired.". She just sputters for a second and Tim Poole and Rogan look really, really uncomfortable. Priceless.
I think that was a mashup edit of two different episodes -- Pool appeared with the old Twitter pajeeta and then Musk appeared at a separate time, and some joker cut them together.
This whole "let's hold a poll" weak sauce is the antithesis of leadership.
Guess what? Society held a poll on your kids balls and decided he should become a tranny. You cool with that, Elon?
People's "thoughts" about words coming out of Alex Jones mouth are totally irrelevant. Twitter is LOADED with horrible people spewing insane things all the time, people I have very negative thoughts about. People willingly and knowingly lying. Subversive people causing war and death and suffering. They are all allowed, and none of them are banned, and no one is asking "our thoughts" about people like Bari Weiss, Victoria Nuland, BLM, atheists, trannies, jews, etc. Why the double standard? Why are only GOOD people subject to this trial by the crowd, while BAD people are never silenced?
It's not like Jones is going to say anything controversial after being fined a katrillion dollars for expressing some doubts over a highly suspicious media event anyway.

Rax, he's not actually polling. He's pushing engagement on topics he already knows the answer to (because he has the user data). It's slick, it's premeditated, and it actually does show leadership.

That's a lot of votes for a poll that's been online less than 24 hours.
Elon Musk has over 165 million Twitter/X followers.

How many of them are real and how many are bots?
Another example of Elon doing what the entire GOP as a whole won’t do. Confronting Zelensky about the imprisonment of Gonzo Lira and helping bring attention to a situation very inconvenient for them after shipping billions over.
Whomever your favorite politician is. I’ll ask why they don’t have the balls to speak on subjects Tucker and Elon regularly do.

And how many will unfollow Musk for allowing Alex Jones back onto X/Twitter platform?
Elon Musk proves that you don't have to be in office in order to be effective in politics.
Absolutely. I'm beginning to think a new model for "the politic" may be forming. We've been working with the nation-state model for a while now (since we've done away with monarchies). It seems like another jostling may be afoot.
Populism is the opposite of leadership.
It's literally the privation of leadership.
(Assuming Alex Jones is actually "popular")
Libs when they hear the three names of Musk x Jones x Tate
I thought this may have been an AI fake at first, since the YT channel links to an AI site, but apparently not. According to the MSM:
I've looked into this question before. All the "right- thinking" people hate populism. Trump was "Populist". The scum!!
But wait, why is populism so bad? I've tried to find out why. Populism appeals to the interests of the broadest number of the population. Not surprising. Are the broadest numbers wrong? Don't their interests matter?
It's funny. When you try to find articles or historical/academic sources to address these questions, I think they tend to come down to the idea that what the populace wants is unrealistic, and it is unrealistic because it doesn't satisfy the needs of the rich.
You can say it a little more favorably from the rich point of view. You could say the nation needs the economy to flourish, and for the economy to flourish, there are certain unpopular regulatory conditions that need to be maintained for the greater good. What the "people" want will ultimately be bad for the nation, and therefore, will actually be bad for the people.
However, it is hard to find a good historic example of this. What you can find are cases where the rich, the entrenched interests, had enough power to hold onto their own perquisites, and the people were defeated, with the media writing about how wrong they were. However these cases don't hold up that well to scrutiny. I think in most cases, the "people" would have benefited more if their goals had been realized.
A good example is cutting off legal and illegal immigration to the US these past few decades. Would it have been better for the existing citizens of the USA to restrict immigration? Yes. Did the powers that be scorn it as populism to advocate a reduction in immigration? Yes. Were they right? Was immigration better after all?
No.
