What if Roko's Basilisk was never really about rogue AI, but a warning from some billionaires about their own intentions?

Join #FTwitterFebruary: QT, @ elon, and get off this site for a month.
Musk needs you more than you need him.

But if you're here seeing this now, you just lost The Game, but it's ok. Below I've surfaced some of my best digs at Musk.
So QT something below, or your own, with the hashtag #FTwitterFebruary, and maybe @ elonmusk. Make your point heard, and "WALK AWAY" like the Trumpers say

You've tried Sober-tober, No-Shave-November, Dry January.
How about #FTwitterFebruary?
I'll be back in March, if there's still a war to wage, but let's show #Elon how little Money can buy without regular people like you and me. Retweet, log out, post anywhere else for 1 month.

Elon, narcissist, needs YOU more than you need his 🦤site. Things you'd hear him tease but won't see in #FTwitterFeburary:
- Starship launch success
- Higher Tesla stock price (or BTC)
- Level 3 FSD
Things I'd like👀:
- Fraud conviction in SF court
- End to Russian war on Ukraine

Yes, you can find me @ sfba social, but I doubt I'll be posting there.
Literally nothing will happen in February. Let THAT sink in. All of us can walk away. Twitter advertisers will freak out even more. Musk's debt will balloon. But WE miss out on absolutely nothing—FOMO is fake

If you're wondering why it's come to this, it's because these guys lost more money this year than most nation states produce. When you don't have a #Wealthtax, the wealthy eat themselves and then blame anybody, everybody else. Musk's fellow Twitter 'investor' David Sacks for one: twitter.com/elonmusk/statu…

And this one is giddy you're all still here. So...about that...
Quote Tweet
When @elonmusk made necessary business changes at Twitter, the media reacted with hysterical melodrama: he was “starving” employees; the site was facing “imminent collapse.” But when Twitter Files exposed state censorship and Hamilton68 fraud, they react with defeaning silence.

Twitter was acquired to boost the signal of these San Francisco Venture Capitalist morons, denying science and attempting to take control of our government.

That is an accurate view. Elon Musk literally spent $44billion to take over a site where he felt he didn't have control over his image. That's like...Cartman levels of narcissistic entitlement.

Here's another great source for that debt payment Elon has due this month.
And they estimate twitter is now worth $15billion. Ouch. No wonder fans are trying to pump the stock, before Elon's next big sale!

Yes. And what's the last big thing you changed your mind about?
For me, it was that isn't willing to burn up his entire fortune to platform his old ultra-right-wing friends.
I was wrong on that. And disappointed.

Now for my next trick, I'm going to do something completely unexpected. Why? Because I am a man of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will.
Look here tomorrow for something could never imagine. I don't expect you all to join me, but I sincerely hope some of you can💙

So I spent this month trolling 's tweets, increasing my follower count by 25% (!) and reaching over 2Million people! It's Musk's game now.
I also understand why Elon thinks this site is filled with bots. Visibility goes up, they're literally everywhere, worse than ever.

It may be that we realize transformer AIs are really BEST for art. Because in art, little fuck-ups and even big interchanges strike us as novel and interesting—mistakes that make the masterpiece.
Not so much in accurate piloting or informational relay systems where reliability 🗝

And I'll add rapid #transit to the list. Being able to take high speed unobstructed rail from where you live to where you work is a lot more reasonable ask than imagining you absolutely must live in the exact address you want if only you could live high enough in the sky above it

What I DO care about is building affordable, rent-stabilized homes where homes are actively being built anyway.
I care about taxing the real substantial wealth, not your income. And #MedicareForAll and an income floor that guarantees no American goes bankrupt just trying to live.

I don't give a shit if you can't afford to live in Atherton. #WealthTax the rich so they can't bid it up, but I don't care if every scrap of suburban green space doesn't become mega-tower capsule pods.

I have just been told that “Putin is a BULLY who must be stopped at ANY cost.”
I’m trying to figure out how much of the relentless pressure on this is coming from humans vs bots.
Do you believe that Putin must be stopped at “ANY cost”? Please vote and explain reasoning below.

It's shocking how often simply ~enforcing our laws~ would bring down the wealthy and powerful.
But no, we don't do that here.

Good news for drivers; bad news for . Good thing Nevada waited until after #Tesla committed to a new factory extension before disappointing Mr Tweet (we know how he lashes out).
Any good YouTube channels to see this in action?

Ok, the biggest question in my mind, watching the #paulpelosi #daviddepape #PelosiBodyCamFOOTAGE is,
Why #Pelosi expects to be policed by a different force than any other resident of San Francisco?
