Clutching pearls ... Musk buys Twitter

DEMOCRACY DIES IN DARKNESS!!

So many billionaires....
So many rockets.....
So much speechifying to pass judgement on.

It's really hard to say.

Perhaps in addition to the Ministry of Truth, dot.gov has stood up a Ministry of Plenty, Ministry of Love, and (just in time for Ukraine!) a Ministry of Peace....

 

Generally not a fan of videos for some reason.

Elon Musk says Twitter was 'acting on orders from government to suppress' Hunter Biden laptop story | Daily Mail Online
"Taibbi tweeted: 'Both parties had access to these tools,' adding 'in 2020, requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored.'"

Taibbi is the journalist going through these twitter files.

He also adds, "Prior to the reveal, Taibbi disclaimed 'there’s no evidence - that I've seen' that the federal government had a role in suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story"

Of the political operatives trying to get Twitter to do anything, the Democrats simply knew more people at Twitter.

A big huge dumb nothing burger... Back in the day when Republicans actually had a sliver of integrity and cared about appearing more virtuous than their enemies they could turn a blow job into a legitimate reason to impeach a dully elected POTUS. But these days they've become such wretched scoundrels by every measure they've been using Hunter Biden's laptop to get traction for 5 years and have found none.

Meanwhile all the right wing wing Trumpers of hate and violence have been let back on Twitter and they've created a hit list of left leaning twitter users who have never violated twitter rules who are now being deleted by Elon based on a massively fraudulent reporting campaign. People like investigative journalists who focused on exposing Jan 6th insurrectionists and groups like Crimethink, that's a radical left anarchist magazine that gets it name from Orwell's 1984's "thought crimes."

The Tesla clown car of stupid is going to get lots of people killed eventually and there will no doubt be more Jan. 6th-like mobilization efforts on Twitter now. Too bad Elon couldn't of kept to his own lane of engineering electric cars and moonshots rather then promoting a cesspool of humans that have lost all sense of self-respect, kindness and decency.

 

actually ......

both fall in the ditch

at least he rebooted west:

Yeah... Kanye even made Alex Jones think he was going to far...

And to be clear, Kanye was yet again banned from Twiiter for posting an image of a jewish star and swastika merged together with a message about how we need to love everyone.

 

Posted above. Twitter was also honoring requests from Trump's administration .

 

What's not a waste of time that everyone needs to know about and respond to is all these right-wing trolls Elon has brought back to Twitter are now mass reporting prominent people on the left who are getting banned from Twitter even though they've never violated any rules. This will eventually escalate into mass shootings, much like the FB group that recruited Kyle Rittenhouse to murder Antifa protesters. The more you understand how this movement of death, hate and retardation of culture, the better you'll be able to fight against it.

Meh....

Social media has been hiding behind Section_230 for far too long now.
I say release the hyenas and other scavengers and let lawyers fix social media.
If Musk wants to throw away 40+ gigabucks just to have some fun with (other) self-involved blue checks????
I'm going to take @bwilson4web's approach with the Iran-Iraq war and root for both sides.
If the result winds up being Twitter going away and Musk being downgraded to a mere 'multimillionaire' with rockets and EVs?
Win-Win.

HOWEVER (comma!)
I'd be juuust a little cautious about telling him that he "can't do something."
Seen that movie once or twice before.

Heck.
He might just improve the Twitters.....

 

Elon's truth bans, clearly labeled as such, Musk Parody accounts. Which are allowed in the Twitter user agreement.

 

The psuedo Musk accounts that were banned were clearly labelled as parody, as the user agreement requires.

 

the resentment is from linerals who don't like his conservative views

 

The advertisers don't seem to care for his actions fall out on Twitter.

His views seem to be whatever helps him is good, whatever doesn't is bad.

 

The reveal left out that many of the requests coming from the Biden campaign were about Hunter porn links.
