Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

But not the photos, video, or audio. And I can't serve it to hundreds of millions of people from my phone. This truly one of the stupidest things a tech CEO has ever said.
Building a Plex server with every TV show and movie on Netflix is easy. Distributing that data to 300 million of your friends daily is where the cost is.
Using his ass-stupid logic, Xitter is worth a small box of USB drives I can pick up at Dollar General because the text from every Xeet fits on them? Might actually be true.
You would think the CEO of a major internet website, and a self-proclaimed coding genius, engineer, rocket scientist, would understand how web server, computational, and bandwidth charges work. But he's determined to prove once and for all how stupid he really is.
I was about to say "at least people will see him as stupid when he says shit like this" but anyone still a fan of him think he's playing some kind of grand scheme or whatever, ruffling feathers but still genius.
The problem is that the people he says this kind of stuff for don't understand anything, so they just believe everything he says. If someone tries to educate them they literally can't process the information.
"Nah he's just trolling lol he totally got you. He made you think he was an idiot lol, a total moron lmao"
There are still people who think he's a genius
The idiot actually believe that and unplugged Twitter servers to prove it, that according to his biography is still causing stability issues to this day.
Ooh is there more info about this?
EDIT: Looks like this is it.

Not stupid, just misleading stupid people. As the owner of one of the most popular websites on the internet, and the guy who killed third party APIs, there's no way he doesn't know what it costs to process millions of queries/day.
This implies he has learned lessons from his past mistakes - he has not. The odds are better on Must thinking the people who executed his perfect demands did those things wrong.
Yep. It didn't come across as stupidity (not saying Musk isn't stupid), but as someone blatantly borrowing from the Trump playbook.
Plex and IPFS has it's place, but I still support Wikipedia as a non profit, just like you don't need to pay to enter a library, unless your in some kind of elite library of the bleeding edge lol
Give it another year and I bet 6 to 1/2 dozen on the value of USB drives and Twitter.
