 Eh, I can understand people having a chip on their shoulder with the shitshow twitter turned into back then. But I would say Jack is a net positive with his efforts. Maybe one day he'll make his way onto a pod and explain it all. 
 Exactly. 👍 Net neutrality has a chance again. Everyone wants to constantly beleaguer everything he’s apologized for multiple times. Cool 😎. He’s still went on to produce & do better. He’s honorable for that. 

Outside of my biased opinion of him: I’ve tried to analyze it completely logically & that dorky man still proved better than not. 

 
 I think his heart is in the right place, and it is probably a bit of naivete that he had to overcome. Many of us have these 'holy shit' moments after some years in an industry where you realize how fucked up something is. 
 Writing ✍️ #poetry has been best for me to seek to understand #humanity Can’t speak for his feelings but I’ve always believed in him. Whatever one does is for them to decide to judge from. I’ve done it to myself. Then constantly seek to do better. 

The Holy Shite moments are lifelong for me. 😂🫡🫂

Below 👇 

Some of us always feel lonely
Misunderstood
Created before Earth
Lost amongst walking zombies
Dearth came 

Weirdos, different or crazy 
Too kind, loving or innocent 
Those who didn’t go insane 
Remain the light of the world 
Eternal flame

- primordial we

How do I convince you science folks 
That my consciousness 
Is one part of oneness
Throughout timelines

Can be harvested 
It’s always been that way 
By those with money and connections 
Alternatives of spirits & crush truth 
Into pebbles 
Until it’s all dust 
Phoenix cries again
Protect my eggs 🥚 

Allow them to live 
Even if in a lab
Nourished by robots 
Truth dies daily 
Just give them a chance 
even with broken wings 
Promise my Love
My heart will reach them
Piercing the veils of falseness  
Will raise them to adulthood 
They will all eventually fly 
 This is absurd.

He 100% knew what he was doing 
 So you’re on his side. Cool.  
 How do you know people weren't doing things behind his back? When you run a company with a large number of employees, you won't be aware of everything that is going on, especially if intelligence is very specifically acting to make sure of that.

Again, I don't know but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I can appreciate your position. 
 Narrative warfare never takes a break. Said it thousands of times. Personally not bitter about anything that happened in the past. It took forgiving many others before I forgave myself completely for my own wrongs. 

Many people seem to never face their own mirror. 🪞 once done everything becomes a reflection. It’s beautiful to see. Then again: I’ve never had issues balancing the light and dark. Some people feel one must constantly stay in light, 💡 why? When you’re capable of focusing on all colors of the rainbow. 🌈 my opinion only. Hugs 🫂  
 Do you not understand what CEO means? 
 Wild how bitcoiners just gave him a pass on that just because he throws money at developers. Did he ever apologize for interfering with the 2020 election?   

And now he is calling out people statists lol 
 Nope.

Zero apology (which wouldn’t be enough unless it came with a long list of names and explanations).

Zero explanations. 
 Not a pass, I'm saying that we don't have all the details. It doesn't look great at face value, but I'm not going to hold a chip on my shoulder indefinitely and I've moved on rather than pretending like I understand all the nuances of exactly what happened.  
 Did you read the twitter files? Did you gorget about those? I’m sure jack would love for those to be memory holed


People have no problem shitting on zuck and elon without having all the details, but somehow jack gets a pass? Nah 
 He gets a pass? Hang around Mastodon for a while 
 But we’re on Nostr…. 
 Elon Musk gets a pass for everything he’s done at X 

https://media.tenor.com/lcFXEg1qMWYAAAAC/billiejean-fair.gif
 
 Tell us what he’s done on X? 
 What pass has he gotten??? 
 You sure change your profile a lot 
 nope didn't gorget.  low signal moron 
 No ones talking to you, faggot 
 you are 🫶🖕🏻 
 “Chip on shoulder.”

No.

It’s a complete and total mistrust due to past actions with zero apology or explanation. 
 I think it's fair that you have that opinion of him. Bowing out of this convo. 👍 
 drag that goblin!  
 His apology seemed sincere. And not only did he apologize, he then funded devs working on freedom tech. Maybe I'm naiive, but that's good enough for me.

I feel compelled to mention that twitter banned my account before I even made my first tweet. It was directly after I followed a bitcoiner... And the appeal process was a major "FU" because it first says you can appeal, then says you can't appeal because you're banned. So I never used twitter.

The apology still seemed sincere. 
 He overturned an election through lies and manipulation.

Thats a massive net negative and it’d still be that way if Elon hadn’t stepped in. 
 Damn... this trolling bastard is gonna pay... for trashing up your feed! 
 nope never gonna pay lol get fucked nonthinking cunt
