Elon Musk‘s erratic posting on X, formerly Twitter, has come back to haunt him once again as a 22-year-old Jewish man pursues a defamation case over tweets in which the tech mogul baselessly suggested the recent college graduate was an undercover federal agent posing as a neo-Nazi during a street fight between far-right groups. Musk’s excruciating March 27 deposition in the matter, which a judge ordered released to the public over the objections of the CEO’s lawyer, reveals the extent to which he has continually sabotaged both himself and the social media platform he owns.

    Just like how a drug dealer throws away their burner phone after every drug deal. /s

    Or maybe you’re not thinking about what this word means in context. Burner doesn’t mean “use once and abandon”, it means “use anonymously and abandon if needed”.

      For a plug thats not a “burner”, its the trap phone. Hearing lemmy nerds talk about this stuff is amusing
