What exactly did Elon do that turned the lunatics against him? Was it just buying twitter?

No

 

[How bad boy]

That still ongoing?

Musk said it'd be explosive and evidence of Twitter trying to manipulate the media in favour of the democrats and the left when he took over the company.

Turned out to be a whole bunch of over interpreted bollocks, the odd example of possibly over zealous moderation but nothing particularly incriminating.
If anything it showed that twitter were struggling with difficult decisions but making pretty decent efforts to figure out what the right thing to do is.

I see no reason to disbelieve him.

Can you back this up with tangible proof?

Yes

Musk has apparently abandoned plans to make a Tesla model that would be smaller and more affordable, an everyman car, so to speak, the Chinese have spooked him and he's on about robot taxis now.

So the smaller sub €15k (new) electric car that takes of here will most likely be a Chinese model.

Yes

Well, I am awaiting.

Teslas are fairly plasticy, not exactly what you would call luxury car… Elon must choose where he is at but competing with a 15k Chinese car no point really.

Yeah i remember the big reveal and………there was nothing salacious or jaw dropping in there at all.
It seemed Twitter Washington had taken stuff down at the request of Democrats and Republicans alike , although there was more instances of the Democrats to be fair.

It certainly wasnt the “gotcha” moment that Musk claimed it would be . The fella that did the reveal (Matt Wallace) has gone on to prove himself to be an extremely poor conspiracy theorist/reporter.
Like bottom of the barrel stuff.

It was a complete non event.
