You even used his term “legacy media,” which was adorable. Simp.

You’d definitely fondle his penis if he’d let you.

You’ve literally started multiple threads about him “what he’s up to today,” and this one, a clear attempt to deny and deflect from your admiration for him.

How has Elon Musk gaslighted me?

You shill for him, copy his verbiage, and fall for his schtick.

That means he gaslighted me?

You literally think he bought Twitter because he cares about your free speech. He bought it to strengthen his own voice and serve his own agenda (one that does not align with non-billionaires).
Title: Re: Poll Time!
Post by: Custard on November 08, 2024, 06:52:22 PM
I think he bought it for all those reasons. Still not sure how me thinking he does care about free speech is a result of gaslighting and you refuse to explain it to me. Which is why I think you don’t understand what gaslighting means.

I’ve explained it to you multiple times now. He bought Twitter for his purposes, not yours.

He gaslights his followers the same way Trump does. It’s not difficult to see what’s going on here.
Title: Re: Poll Time!
Post by: Reacher on November 08, 2024, 08:14:55 PM
He spreads his lies and distortion unabated and takes advantage of his popularity and platform to push his agenda and control others. And to have more control himself. He literally parlayed buying Twitter into a seat at the table next to incoming President of the United States. This isn’t difficult  analysis here.
Title: Re: Poll Time!

And he does it while making you think it’s all for you.

He’ll have more influence over the President than the Vice-President of the United States.

Did you ever watch Game of Thrones? “Chaos is a ladder.” Musk understands this. That’s why he wants misinformation to go unchecked.

None of these 6 posts describes gaslighting behavior.

Haven’t looked up the word in a while myself, but “lying to someone to create confusion and doubt in an effort to control and manipulate them” I’m thinking is pretty close.

The question is what does Musk really want? 

Access to world leaders, seed NASA and DoD with SpaceX executives, acquire more government contracts, FCC  changes to bandwidth rules to help Starlink, access to sensitive military/intelligence data or deportation of immigrants so they can be replaced with bots?

Probably all of the above and more.  This is how oligarchy works.  Ethics and conflict of interest rules are for the little people.

I believe it comes from a movie with my favorite old timey actress, Ingrid Bergman. The word is being used about Musk and Trump by people across all walks of media and commentary. It’s at least 75% applicable in your case and that’s good enough. This is akin to PAMan blasting me for misquoting him because I didn’t use the exact punctuation.
Title: Re: Poll Time!

Even some in the “legacy media” have used the term!

Do you really think those guys just have that much cash sitting around that they could be giving to others? The vast majority of their net worth is measured in business assets and such. Don’t remember anything in the Bible about not being able to build businesses that benefit humanity.

Custard needs to get on the horn and tell Merriam-Webster they don’t know what gaslighting means.

You should call Merriam-Webster and tell them they’re wrong!

They clearly added a secondary definition (very common) to accommodate cultural shift or unintentional misuse of a term because a bunch of people bastardized it. But yet it STILL doesn’t apply to me.

He hasn't psychologically manipulated me and made me doubt my sanity and he hasn’t misled or deceived me for his advantage. I have provided zero benefit to Elon Musk other than be a lurker on X under a sock puppet account.

I think the terms propagandized or indoctrinated may be more appropriate for what you think is going on with me.

I mean if he’s gonna use the Merriam-Webster dictionary as his proof, he does need to use the same standards. We all know that won’t happen though. He’s a progressive, where rules only apply when it benefits them. Free hands outs and shit like that.

Remember when he practically begged Murph for money after learning he is wealthy? Tempo is 100% about getting other people’s money to do with as he sees fit. He despises winners and loves losers. He’s an admitted collectivist. When Tempo tells you who he is, listen.

When Custard shows you creepy photos of half naked women and demeans their mental abilities to provide anything worthwhile in areas typically dominated by men…when he’s telling you he’s a perverted misogynist, listen.

When Custard repeatedly shows you he lacks virtually any ability to relate to and understand the difficulties people of color face in America “DEI hires!” Yet, when it’s pointed out that he and people who like to point to “DEI hires” would never say someone got a job because he was white the response was like “No, why would a white person say that?” When Custard tells you he’s the ultimate oblivious white privilege male, believe him.

When custard says a sign that reads acceptance of others/kindness is everything and science is real “is retarded.” Believe him.

When custard says showing a picture of a gutted dead child cut in half by a bomb is offensive, but ranting that the kid deserved it is fine, believe him.

By the way, JudgeJudy wanted a slice, too!
