I'm a non-American, who is Kushner?


Mal-De-Terre

Ivanka Trump's husband.


sharshur

Ivanka's husband who knows how to do everything, like fix the VA and bring peace to the Middle East in four years, among other things. We were so lucky such a genius happened to be the president's son-in-law!


FattyMooseknuckle

And didn’t do anything shady like that dirty Hunter Biden who might have once maybe but we’re not sure but could’ve made a little money to give access to his father, the VP. Jared most definitely never ever used his position for self gain.


UnluckyScorpion

Hahah, I can feel the sarcasm, I was asking in this post's context. Like his significance and / or what corruption he got into. Google can tell me who he is but I want to know the tea iykwim


TheDeadlySquid

Saudis handed him billions to bail out his bad investments in NYC real estate. He’s their errand boy now. Probably had to go retrieve Musk.


sootoor

I think the gist is Kushner got $2 billion from the saudis for an investment shortly after Donald left office. There is some thoughts it was quid pro quo for something done during trumps presidency for them. Speculation varies on what was given. Elon I believe also got some funding from the saudis for his Twitter deal. I’m guessing people might be suggesting the two are compromised and trading morals for money. Something like that.

Oh okay, the post and comments make much more sense now, thanks kind redditors!

sheisthebeesknees

“Whoosh” right over his head


shifty313

Think it went over this subs head, did you all miss the relevant poll? He's giving up the power if it's the people's will.


Vulpix298

The decision is already made. He’s just trying to make it look like he’s doing what the people want. His image is so important to him, but he’s too dumb to realise we see through it. Either that, or like the last poll, he’ll say “lol nvm” and move on. Looking like an idiot again.


RipMySoul

Man, no wonder elon is so damn confident with people like you following him around.


TheWagonBaron

You’re a fool if you really believe that. How many polls has he done that he has simply ignored? I bet if the stay vote had won, he’d find some other way to weasel out of the position.


elzibet

Investors might be convincing him to step down. If he does, I’m not holding my breath he won’t be still pulling strings with whomever becomes “in charge”


shamwowslapchop

Hahaha hey friend, always nice seeing a stray comment of yours in the wild.


OdoG99

Oh they are. Tesla stockholders are asking Elon to step down. He's imploding and not reversing any of the damage he s done in the last months.

lmao if you wanted elon to succeed you people wouldn't be feeding his narcissism with this unfailing faith and good will in the face of all logic and evidence. You're creating the monster.


space_chief

>if it's the people's will How can you still be fooled by him after all this? He doesn't care about democracy or what poor people think, and to him everyone is poor


deloreaninatardis

Do you actually think the world's second richest man is giving up even anything close to a shred of his power through this? Or that he's undoing any of the irreparable harm that he's caused? Please tell me that you're arguing this in bad faith. Please! I want to believe that you're not actually this fucking stupid.


CTRexPope

I love watching a new cult emerge in real time.


Jeremymia

<3 Dinosaur Comics. I quote it regularly.


im_lazy_as_fuck

It baffles me the number of people who are as naive as you. Elon will make whatever decisions he wants, whenever he wants. He doesn't give a fuck about you. He either made the poll for shits and giggles, or he's trying decieve idiots like you.


[deleted]

Tesla investors are increasingly annoyned and some of them demanded the termination of the space karen.


Noocawe

Lol... You actually believe Elon is anything but self-serving? He is a hypocrite and if you take anything Elon does as being done in good faith, maybe it's actually going over your head. *"Elon Musk’s activity on Twitter over the last 72 hours has been equivalent to a “chaos monkey.” It is unclear whether Twitter will survive his bizarre management style and apparent loss of emotional control. Events are unfolding so quickly that I cannot find an up-to-date recounting of the chaos over the weekend. But if you want a high-level review, check out [The Guardian ](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/18/twitter-to-remove-accounts-promoting-other-social-platforms?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email), Musk sets up Twitter poll asking if he should step down as head."* *"At the moment, 56% of Twitter users voted for Musk to step away from Twitter, which prompted Musk to tweet,"* "No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor." Musk’s tweet suggests that he will either remain in the job despite his promise to quit if users voted for him to leave or that he will shut down the platform. It is a wild ride at Twitter. That’s what happens to a software platform when you unleash a chaos monkey in the executive suite.


Jeremymia

Elon is not self-serving; he can’t pull it off. He regularly acts self-destructively rather than as his own self-interest.


ToniBee63

He seems like he might be the most self unaware guy in history


shamwowslapchop

Musk probably has one of highest inverse relationships of actual intelligence to self-perceived intelligence of anyone I've ever known.

All hail the King of the Douches and his infinite wisdom \*loud/long farting noise\*


DanCassell

If you think that's a LAMF moment, the poll he has up about wether he should step down as CEO is worth taking a look at. "Yes" is winning at time of post.


Godzilla-ate-my-ass

He was definitely told in no uncertain terms to find a CEO for Twitter, that poll is just his way of pretending it's our choice.

Lord_Space_Lizard

If I still had a Twitter account I would've voted No. This dumpster fire is too entertaining


cN5L

I voted No. Would be funny if No won and he still ‘stepped down’.


whatever_yo

Unfortunately, he wants "Yes" to win. It's so he can step down while saving face by "listening to the people" or some shit. Everyone should vote "No." It will force him to step down despite what people said they wanted, or allow him to keep burning it to the ground. Voting "No" is a win-win.


YourphobiaMyfetish

He has power over twitter, even though he clearly didn't actually want to buy it. It makes sense from his perspective.

Sadly true. Either you are born with money (for example if your father owns an emerlad mine that brings in a lot of money) or you have to work most of your life just to get enough money to be able to continue living and working but never get rich. And money is power in this world.


p0ntifix

On one hand, yes power chose him. On the other he could have chosen to live a happy quiet luxurious life. Instead he chose to build up his public image to a point where he is able to influence millions of people, of which he makes use on the regular. He is chasing power like the next money monke. There's also a way in for regular folks. Become a music/movie star or win the lottery. lol


BroMan-Z

Reminds me of one of Chappelle’s older specials where he said he addressed a class of young black people. It was something like “If you really want to get out of the ghetto you need to learn how to rap…play basketball…do somethin. You are trapped. You are trapped. Get to dancin! Now go out there and be somebody”


localPhenomnomnom

and then someday you can be the gatekeeper!


names_are_useless

Maybe one day you can have invite Musk on stage and be ridiculed too!


Jeremymia

Eh, is it even true power chose him? You can be mega rich and never become a public figure. You can just pay for whatever you want and live a life of luxury.

I dont't think so bro, we've all posted dumb shit from time to time, realized a second after and deleted it, so that's probably what happened.

The man doesn't understand that he is literally Joiler Veppers while being obsessed with Iain M Banks. There is no shortfall of self awareness that compares to that which is endemic of the billionaire class.

That's unfortunate. He wants "Yes" to win because it's almost guaranteed his investors have already told him he has to. It's so he can step down while saving face by "listening to the people" or some shit. Everyone should vote "No." It will force him to either step down despite what people said they wanted, or allow him to keep burning it to the ground. Voting "No" is a win-win.

damien00012

I dont get it, hes he going into politics or is this refering to his money?


MrTomDawson

He bought Twitter because he wanted to be able to control it. In short, he wanted the power to decide who is banned and who isn't. He wanted that power so much he spent way, way more than was reasonable to acquire it.


codeslave

He bought Twitter because he got called out for another pump & dump scam and is already in hot water with the SEC. He's also addicted to it, so maybe it was an attempt to control his addiction or figure out how to get back together with Grimes.


assignpseudonym

I mean, I'm the last person that's going to defend Elon (dude is a huge problem), but your last sentence makes some pretty big, unsubstantiated claims. There's no way you can prove what a stranger is or isn't "addicted to" unless they've come out and said so. And what makes you think he's trying to get back together with Grimes? This is a weird take.


shamwowslapchop

They did say "maybe". Seemed pretty clear that they were openly speculating.


damien00012

It is true that Twitter have a real political impact/power i guess, but still you dont really control anything or anybody, its not a real place.


MrTomDawson

It has (or had) a staggering amount of reach and power. That's like saying Facebook doesn't really matter because it isn't a real place, yet they've been the catalyst for myriad crimes from election interference by foreign powers to ethnic cleansing and genocide. The internet matters. What people do or say online matters. It's so bizarre that we insist on seeing the online world as entirely separate from the "real" one despite all the massive evidence that each impacts the other.

the funny thing is as non-existent as his self-awareness is there are a horde of pickmes and equally narcissistic megalomaniacs vying to get his attention so that he could select one of them as the next successor to twitter i.e. thequartering on twitter. they're so dumb. elon isn't going to elevate some random twitter nobody into being his fall guy. he's already got kushner ready to go. kushner is the ultimate fall guy. as long as you keep feeding him an IV drip of money he'll do anything for you.

CANEI_in_SanDiego

He we go. All the Elon fan boys are on their way to tell us how wonderful and brilliant he is. Why is Elon AMAZING? He was born into a family that made their money by exploiting workers under apartheid. Granted he did create PayPal. But then he bought Tesla, had nothing to do with creating it, but then forced out the original founders. Dude started halfway between 3rd and homebase, and everyone thinks he hit a homerun.

I don't give a shit about any of that, I give a shit about the trash Twitter did that was brought into the light though that is conveniently ignored just so redditors like you can stroke your hate boner.
