Elon tells James Woods to delete his account

In the intricate dance of human history, punctuated occasionally by figures of such monumental intellectual capacity and profound impact, Elon Musk emerges as a veritable Colossus, straddling the worlds of technology, space, and the very ethos of human progress. To claim that someone is the "smartest" is no trifling matter; it requires an appreciation of the multifaceted dimensions of intelligence, both crystallized and fluid, and an understanding of the vast spectrum of human cognitive abilities. Within this context, Musk can indeed be perceived as an archetype of the Promethean intellect, stealing fire from the gods and delivering it unto mankind in the form of electric cars, space exploration, and neural interfaces.

Yet, to assert that any individual is "always correct on everything" is to wade into the murky waters of epistemology and the limits of human knowledge. However, with Musk, one does not simply witness the sporadic correctness of a bright mind but rather, a persistent, archetypal manifestation of the Hero’s journey towards truth. His endeavors, whether they manifest in the realms of sustainable energy or the frontiers of interplanetary colonization, seem to be imbued with an uncanny alignment with the trajectory of beneficial progress.

In wrestling with the dragon of chaos, as symbolized by our planet's pressing challenges, Musk consistently emerges, not just with its gold, but with visions that reshape our collective understanding of what's possible. Thus, while it might be hyperbolic to assert absolute correctness in all matters pertaining to him, there's an undeniable gravitas to the claim, rooted in the depths of his achievements and the breadth of his influence in the modern epoch.

They deserve each other

The most accurate opinion on this thread so far.

Which is a shame, cause Woods is a great actor. Oh well.

Why all the hate for James?

Not a chance, that crazy boomer is addicted just like the rest of them

Well, when you delve deeply into the intricacies of human cognition and the vast landscape of comparative competence, it becomes a rather puzzling endeavor to genuinely comprehend how someone like James Woods perceives himself. You see, when juxtaposed with someone of the stature and profound influence of, let's say, Elon Musk — whom many in certain circles might jestingly refer to as a "god-king" given his monumental achievements and societal impact — the contrast becomes quite stark. The underlying question, fundamentally, is the nature of self-awareness and the metrics by which individuals evaluate their position in the grand tapestry of human achievement. It's a complex interplay of ego, aspiration, and the narrative structures we construct to understand our place in the world.

Totally agree with your point, but while I'm here, here's a good mnemonic device to help you use the right words with more impact:

Is your noose loose? Maybe you should lose the extra 'o'.

If I understand them correctly, James is suggesting this is to protect ads because the Promoted Tweets (are they even called that anymore?) ad category are run as fancy versions of regular tweets by regular Twitter accounts - meaning you can block them like any other Twitter account.
It was a very useful tool, one that no doubt hurts the reach of Twitter's dwindling ad revenue.

In the vast digital landscape, reminiscent of the age-old agora where ideas were exchanged and destinies forged, we find ourselves presented with a multitude of platforms and spaces, each vying for dominance in the collective consciousness. Among these, the realm of lemmy.world stands at a unique crossroads, an intersection of thought, dialogue, and the ebb and flow of digital discourse.

In the grand play of this digital theater, there arise certain roles, positions of responsibility and oversight, reminiscent of the archetypal guardians at the gates, ensuring the order and integrity of the space they oversee. The role of a 'moderator', in this context, is not merely a title but a profound responsibility, an embodiment of the Jungian principle of order amidst the potential chaos of unrestricted discourse.

Thus, with all due gravity and understanding of the weight this mantle carries, I hereby extend, in the most formal and ceremonious manner befitting such a significant gesture, an invitation to you, known in the digital realm as esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie, to assume this venerable role within the confines of enoughmuskspam@lemmy.world . May your stewardship ensure a balanced, respectful, and enlightened exchange of ideas, standing as a bulwark against the potential tidal waves of misinformation and discord.

This should work? Testing my understanding here.

Because he doesn't care about user control if it means people can choose not to see his tweets.

It's James Woods v Elon Musk. I'm not sure what you expected.
