First, I'm not going to give any social media my ID.

If someone intends to expose your ID to hackers due to Twitter's poor security performance, this presents a perfect occasion for them.

I don't know why these social media companies are so fixated on asking for personal information. And I'm sure this is just the beginning of Elon's grand plan.

Perhaps it's time to abandon Twitter and move to other fediverse or decentralised platforms? I would love to see a mass migration.

Trump and Elon do hit a lot of the typical and biblical high notes for the anti christ. More research is needed.

Edit: I randomly selected this source for characteristics of the anti christ, in the Bible. Let's do it!

https://folcc.org/who-is-the-antichrist-15-characteristics-of-satans-coming-world-leader/

  1. Originate from the Revised Roman Empire Not really clear what this means. Elon hails from a white, protestant, colonial culture in South Africa. Not an Italian colony, but rather Portuguese and then British? Idk Rome ruled Portugal right?

  2. A Deceiver. This probably needs little explanation. I think tesla owners and Twitter investors think Elon is a deceiver.

  3. He is a man OK, Elon fits this one, as do roughly half the world population.

  4. Gay? This source really seems to think that the antichrist won't desire women, and is therefore gay. OK. Weird. Maybe asexual? But specifically to Elon, he dated Grimes who may be non binary? And further, Elon could be say to protest too much about traditional masculinity. Let's say that's a maybe.

  5. From a religious family. A quick Google search shows he was raised evangelical. So this fits.

  6. He has a number, 666. Yes famously he changed Twitter to X, a Roman numeral. Apparently I'm not wise enough to see the connection to 666. Fits.

  7. Miracles Yeah I think being a "tech" CEO is probably the custom of devil magic. We all know God hates tall towers and global communication. Fits.

  8. He is known by many names. Elon. Muskrat. Elongated musk. Space Karen. Elmo. Need I continue?

  9. Desecrate the temple Sure. I could see him doing that. Server farm in Jerusalem.

  10. Rise from the dead Well I guess that would be a tell tale sign wouldn't it be.

  11. In power for seven years Let's see how much power Twitter gets him.

  12. Kill christians Ah, yeah, now I see why christians have such a persecution complex.

  13. He will have influence in all the world Well yeah. Short of some sort of nascent one world government, you either have to be the president of the US, or some sort of tech/comm CEO to have influence in the whole world. I'd say owning Twitter fits here pretty well. Short of being the Smoking Man in the x files or something.

  14. Be arrogant and fight against God. Elon is pretty arrogant and God is pretty sensitive. Sending people to Mars or having a tool so that the whole planet can communicate does seem like something God would want to put a stop to.

  15. He will be defeated. Yeah Jesus! Knock Musk down a peg for us all!

And I can conclusively prove that Elon is the anti christ. I will be taking no questions.

I found this amusing, personally, but apparently about 50% of readers hated it... I wonder why? (And as important, why so many?)
