www.newsweek.com
Musk previously hit out at Wikipedia after its annual report showed it spent 29 percent of its budget on "equity" and "safety & inclusion."

    “I just got a lifetime ban from the ‘comics’ subreddit. Yesterday, I posted a humor comic that got over 5,400 upvotes. Then I noticed that there was a pinned post from the moderators saying that comics linked from X could no longer be shared because Musk gave a Nazi salute. I commented saying no he didn’t. The moderator accused me of being pro-Nazi, banned me permanently for life, and deleted all my past posts from the ‘comics’ subreddit. But somehow Elon Musk is the totalitarian?”

    LMAO, the mod that permanently banned this dude is amazing!

        The hierarchy of power:

                      -- Reddit mod --
         ---------- God -----------
    ------------ Elon Musk ------------
-------------- US President --------------

    Spez was a total musk fanboy during the early Twitter changes and said that he used him as an inspiration when changing Reddit’s api, breaking all the decent phone clients. I don’t doubt he’ll do anything to join the big boys club.

    Spez is probably a centimillionaire, and Sam Altman supposedly has a 9% stake in Reddit. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

    Who knows what this pseudo-event is about, other than shoving oligarchs in my face again. Fuck all these fuckers.

    If he does take it over, what will he name it, though? He already has X.com. ReddiX? Rexxit? …Y.com?
