Schiff's tweet...and this was a day and a half ago, 1:31 PM ET 12/16/22:

Elon Musk calls himself a free speech absolutist, to justify turning a blind eye to hatred and bigotry on Twitter.

But when journalists report unfavorable news, they are banned without warning.

The devotion to free speech is apparently not that absolute. But the hypocrisy is.

Musk, just minutes ago:

Thankfully, you lose your chairmanship very soon. Your brain is too small.

Here's a screenshot of the deleted tweet. From the time shown on Musk's tweet, this was from someone using Pacific Time.

1. Popcorn anyone?

[TheBlackAdder]

35. I don't think a Bronze-Aged brain is the burn he thinks it is. He has the ancient facial structure.

.

Time to check out his college transcripts.

I wonder if MENSA can administer an I.Q. test on him.

41. HS valedictorian, Stanford pre-med; Harvard JD cum laude; triathlete

Stanford pre-med and poli sci, didn’t know if he wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer.
Completed 3 triathlons.
Voted most likely to succeed in high school.

[lame54]

44. Did he recently fall and hit his head?

[lostnfound]

57. That was Adam Schiffs credentials.

[TheBlackAdder]

49. Just a BA from UofPenn and a BS from Wharton. The rest are lies.

[lostnfound]

58. I was talking about Adam Schiffs credentials.

[Hortensis]

55. Yes, thank you. We have to buy more.

[niyad]

56. I am putting in my holiday order now. Any special requests?

[Hortensis]

63. Oh, we'll gobble them all, but one the buttier the better!

[niyad]

64. LOTS of butter!

[Prairie_Seagull]

65. Popcorn makes me real thirsty. I wonder how that will go.

[niyad]

66. There are, of course, a wide variety of liquid sustenance.

[dweller]

2. as always

✌🏻

[highplainsdem]

9. Perfect meme for him.

[Irish_Dem]

31. +1

[Bluethroughu]

3. Adam Schiff mopped the floor in the men's bathroom with Elon.

And, Elon knows it.

If Adam has the small brain, Elon has no brain.

[highplainsdem]

5. It took Musk a day and a half to come up with that response.

[Bluethroughu]

7. Elon is a hot mess burning down his house.

[dalton99a]

12. Very, very smart fifth grader

[agingdem]

15. a middle school mean girl

[RockRaven]

4. Boring Trumpclone says what?

[sakabatou]

6. Elon's a sore loser.

[TheBlackAdder]

40. Someone with Twitter should tweet that to Mensa International. Apparently, Elon set the challenge.

[emulatorloo]

8. Hard to believe there is bigger manbaby that Trump. But here's Elon.

[area51]

51. +1 n/t

53. Too bad it got the grammar wrong in #9

Any time an "and" rides between two nouns, you have to use "have" not "has."

Otherwise, the sentiment is fine.

[dalton99a]

11. The apartheid man-child rules by threats and insults

just like Trump

[Samrob]

14. Kind of response when something other than your brain is too small. nt

[ZonkerHarris]

13. bringing the Antisemitism in public.

[Demobrat]

16. At least Elon didn't call Schiff a poopy head.

Yet.

[grantcart]

20. Or a pedophile

[SunSeeker]

17. Wow, that is a lame response even for a 5 year old. WTF is going on with Elon?

Doesn't he have anyone around him to give him good advice?

[highplainsdem]

18. Doubt he listens to anyone. And he could be using drugs while he tweets:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217469815

[Irish_Dem]

33. I think he is doing drugs now, yes.

[Irish_Dem]

32. He doesn't listen to advice because he thinks he is smarter than everyone else.

Typical narcissist.

19. Proverbs 16:18

Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. This guy is overdue

[myohmy2]

21. "...you lose your chairmanship very soon. Your brain is too small."

...similar to musky losing billions...?

...Adam's brain size should be large enough to be chairman but does brain size matter...?

https://www.nyneurologists.com/blog/does-a-genius-have-a-large-brain

...

[orleans]

22. "your brain is too small" is just more projection by a republican

who is probably experiencing some sort of inferiority complex (concerns about his losing money/stock, concerns that maybe all this shitting around wasn't the "smart" move--hence the brain reference--and, of course, concern about the size of his private part)

[SunSeeker]

25. Yup. Schiff went to Stanford undergrad, then Harvard for law school.

Suggesting Schiff is not smart is just, well, stupid.

[KS Toronado]

23. Even puppies weigh in on this discussion

[Aussie105]

24. Studies of the human brain has shown size has no relationship

to intelligence and social skills like the ability to communicate clearly and see other peoples' point of view.

But yeah Elon, lash out as much as you want to. We all laugh at your shenanigans. Well, maybe not people who recently bought a Tesla or own Tesla shares.

[lapfog_1]

26. if schiff is either appointed to DiFi's seat in the Senate or she retires and he runs to replace her

in 2 years.

I wonder which committees he might seek to be chairman of for the Majority in the Senate?

Will any of them have oversight in either regulations by the federal government or purchase of services or equipment by the federal government?

Don't bite the hand that feeds you is a very smart business maxim... too bad Elon seems to have forgotten it.

[Hortensis]

61. For that he needs to worry a lot more about the Republicans.

Hard-core conservatives are famously not just very vindictive but tend to consider its practice a virtue.

Democrats wouldn't screw a whole nation to get back at him, though they might well enjoy a few little ways to screw him personally.

[William Seger]

27. A few months ago, most people would have said Musk is a genius

Now, hardly anyone would -- he's the Incredible Shrinking Brain. Just like Trump, every projection is a confession.

[Hortensis]

59. Hmmm. Well, Musk is still Musk. Wouldn't what people SAY he is

be irrelevant to that?

Maybe the overall tenor of talk is more of a self selecting thing that has nothing to do with Musk's abilities and everything with the reacting groups'?

[raccoon]

28. Musk isn't fit to wipe Schiff's shoes.

[Botany]

29. Musk, "Your brain is too small." Class Valedictorian(high school), Stanford (honors), & Harvard Law

from wiki:
Schiff was born in Framingham, Massachusetts, the son of Edward and Sherrill Ann (Glovsky) Schiff.[2] He was raised in a Jewish family that moved to Scottsdale, Arizona, in 1970 and Alamo, California, in 1972.[3] He graduated from Danville's Monte Vista High School in 1978,[4][5] and was both his class valedictorian[6] and the student his peers voted "most likely to succeed".[7]

Schiff received a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Stanford University in 1982 and graduated with distinction.[8] Schiff returned to Massachusetts to attend Harvard Law School, from which he obtained his Juris Doctor, graduating cum laude in 1985.[8][9] Schiff was a member of the Harvard Law School Forum, and his tasks included driving guest speakers including William J. Brennan Jr. from the airport to campus and back.[10] He also worked as a student research assistant for Professor Laurence Tribe.[10]

Start of career
After law school, Schiff spent a year as a law clerk for Judge William Matthew Byrne Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.[11] From 1987 to 1993, he was an Assistant United States Attorney in the Office of the United States Attorney for the Central District.

30. Quality over size matters when it comes to brains.

Musk is confusing this organ with dick size. In fact, it could be said that a prime functioning brain that is smaller, has the advantage of having shorter distances for the synapses and neurons to travel.

We’ll, it could be said.

[Mr. Ected]

36. Don't tell me, Trump is now Elon's speechwriter?

A couple of stable geniuses, that's for sure. Or would it be genii? I guess if I was a genius I'd know.

[Genki Hikari]

54. Geniuses

Genii is the plural for genie.

[panader0]

37. Schiff's brain is too small? Have you ever seen his head?

[tanyev]

38. Says the man who's run out of fingers and toes to count how many billions he's lost in 2 months.

[ProfessorGAC]

39. But, The Brain Of A Guy...

...who paid $44 billion for a matured company with $14 billion in assets & $5 billion in revenues is just fine?
Right.

[Tommymac]

42. Tweet has been removed. Guess the twidiot is just smart enough to know when he is stupid. nt

[Emrys]

43. Yes, looks like it has.

This is an example of why, if you're going to post a tweet, it's a good idea to copy and paste the text (and any isolatable images) as well, so we have a lasting record of what it said. That's aside from any etiquette considerations for those who can't see tweets easily. I'm glad to see the OP did that.

[highplainsdem]

46. I just found a screenshot, too, and added it to the OP.

[highplainsdem]

45. See the edited OP, which has a screenshot I just found on Twitter.

[2Gingersnaps]

47. Apartheid trust funder

Born on third base, who thinks he won the World Series, has opinions. Isn't he precious. Wonder what his Mom's embarrassment threshold is?

[Kablooie]

48. Well, that's sure a childish, empty retort.

[highplainsdem]

50. To us. The RWNJs on Twitter, and some RW media outlets, were applauding.

But I doubt Tesla investors were.

[KentuckyWoman]

52. Oh I think Schiff's brain

Is big enough to see narcissistic bullshit when he sees it.

[Hekate]

60. Let's see who still has a job by the end of this week, never mind next month. Pass the popcorn

Guess who I’m betting on.

[Hortensis]

62. :) My best theorizing is this defensive lashing out means he respects Schiff

and thinks he should "enlarge" his thinking to see things his way too. Childish, inane response, but quickly deleted probably means he recognized it as unworthy of his own big thinking.

Which, IS proven to be very big and far-ranging, brilliant, in some respects. And quite limited in others.

A mix of abilities is so common that it might be the most "normal" thing about Musk. Think of all the rightfully admired big achievers in other fields who turn out to be hypocritical scoundrels and useful idiots politically.

[LuckyCharms]

67. Well Elon, losing a chairmanship purely due to spite from an opposing party

is a little different than losing $44 billion dollars on a hair-brained scheme.

So let's have a talk about "small brains", shall we, Elon?
