Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) - Twitter

[Rhiannon12866]

John Oliver discusses how an already flawed Twitter got worse under Elon Musk, how it continues to impact us all, and what it has to do with the 30-40 trillion cells humans are composed of. Or, wait, sorry, Twitter doesn’t have anything to do with the cells. It’s about our understanding of the universe. Maybe. You’ll just have to take that last part up with Elon directly. - 02/22/2026.

1. I had to stop what I was doing

to watch this. Normally I can listen and pay bills at the same time but this episode had me so dumbfounded. My mouth was hanging open as I listened to the BS that Musk actually thinks (or doesn't think to be more accurate). Is he on drugs all the time? I can't think of a formerly intelligent person responding the way Elon did. I couldn't even laugh at him I was so thoroughly disgusted.

2. And yet he was clearly allowed to decimate so much of our government, thanks to the convicted felon

He deserves to face questioning and charges for the havoc he created.

3. He definitely needs to be investigated for being involved in the last election.

There is too much evidence that his tech BS did something to fix the election for tRump. He needs to be investigated for this and prosecuted for election interference but I don't see that happening in my lifetime.

4. So... why listen?

He is exactly correct, but my question is, why are these people falling for it?

Why is this being so effective?

Answer those questions and you solve the problem.

But, I am pretty sure we are not going to like the answers.

Which is why no one is willing to offer them.
