Musk calls former Twitter execs "Woke Stasi" - This was his response to the insane ramblings of the House Republicans at their nutso Twitter hearing yesterday. Why is the U.S. government permitted to keep doing business with any of this horrible man's businesses? Depending on him for anything, especially anything defense related tied to SpaceX, is utterly crazy.

@lauren Because state-sponsored partnerships and censorship with communications platforms are definitely not fascism. Definitely not.

@lauren He is, at minimum, a security risk, at worst, a mortal danger to lives -- in rocketships or cars.

@lauren Who’d have thought he’d be giving Trump a run for his money as the worst person in the world!

@lauren I read today that SoaceX is limiting use of Starlink by Ukrainians for military purposes. Isn’t that Musk doing his own foreign policy?

@lauren Exactly. I would be worried about future SpaceX programs after seeing what happens with his other companies and products during one of his mood swings.Who knew evil villain billionaires would really be “karens” in the end.

@lauren we need a Twitter protest to actively get it banned. It spews fascism now for all to see.

@lauren Really sick & tired of this snot-nose billionaire throwing his weight around -- and this in the middle of the complete blowup on Twitter yesterday worldwide shutting people's accounts down, etc. He needs to manage his damn business & keep his fascist comments to himself.

@lauren There's weird crossover between the german world and the pay pal world, embodied by Thiel, but it shows up elsewhere, too. He picked that word for a reason.

@lauren Not many folks know that RSA kind of won the cold war by assisting in Angola, but that set definitely appreciates that part of history. I think much of that background will be relevant in coming battery-resource wars in central africa.

@lauren I guess if they stopped including his shitty companies in their tender processes, he would sue them to ensure that he got 'equal access'.

@lomanfeusagach Well, he might not want them looking too closely at the ethics clauses in some of those procurement rules.

@RichStein @jeffjarvis There are ethics clauses in many of those procurement regulations. Somebody should check them.

@lauren was so illuminating to hear the former Twitter execs under oath, destroying Musk’s cherry picked narrative. I’m so glad he can never run for president.

@lauren *Insane Nutzo Crazy*Lauren,I respectfully insist that you become more creative in your description of people that are probably not at all mentally ill.Further, ask yourself why you flaunt these words so easily.What you are describing has nothing to do with mental illness, yet you continue to insert slurs throughout your post.Honestly feel despondent at how little writers seem to notice how badly they disparage people with mental illness.

@lauren You would think that the US government would not use a business that keeps calling it corrupt. Same with news organizations in the US. There ARE other alternatives. If the government moves to another vendor, many people will follow. All Mastodon needs to do is offer these folks certification for less than $8.

@lauren I think you answered yourself: "House Republicans".He's more visible than many, but he's not completely crazy on the modern GOP scale.

@lauren As someone from the former GDR... that's just an unhistorical and this is more than playing down the Stasi.
