The Elon Musk Twitter shitshow

The sky is overcast grey today at my current location (a location I will not share with you at this time due to safety concerns).

Maybe there were just too many selections available. I bet he unsuspends the accounts once the poll is finished
Why is there any "poll" in the first place?

You publish TOS and you follow them. You don't allow trolls back online onto your platform that violate those terms and put others in danger, just because more trolls "vote them back on the island".
 
LOL - no. It will still show that Musk is a hypocritical asshole. And that you and PF have been duped.

Duped by who? He is trying to change the culture on Twitter, to do that you have to break a few eggs to break the previous established environment.

I love what he is doing, I think it is hilarious watching democrats become republicans in terms of crying about the exact same things the other group was crying about the past few years. LOL, you guys are who you hate.

... but if you pull the same crap as the previous owners after complaining about then they'll call you a hypocrite.

every day that passes shows us that elon is simply another rich spoiled brat who has been living in a yes man bubble for far too long. twitter is sinking faster than i ever expected especially with the free speech guy banning accounts for reporting on what is going on.
 
He's trying to protect the interests of rich people, like himself.

I am sure he is trying to protect his wealth, he would be stupid not trying to do that. I also think he has bigger goals in mind, personal goals, ego driven goals but you have to have a bit of an ego to accomplish great feats.
 
The transition is almost complete, now the far left are becoming the conspiracy theorist. God Damn you American Politics, you never fail to bring out the absolute hypocrisy of humanity.

You fu@king ultra sensitive political types are who you hate. The Left is the Right and the Right is the Left in terms of their temperament and irrationality.

Elon is living rent free in so many peoples heads right now, I think that is what he wanted. He is burning the old ways down on purpose, very publicly and in real time. I have no idea if it will work or not but it has had me laughing for weeks. Its entertainment folks, he isn't going to take your votes away or your ability to think independently (your two party system has already taken that away from so many of you anyway).

Watching you political Left/Right lunatics try to burn the country down has become the new, "WTF is wrong with all of these folks", people watching. Society has become unhinged. Who cares if some journalists got suspended, it doesn't impact your life, move on, they will be back in a week or so. Take a breath, the sun will rise tomorrow.
😆 🤣 😂

Yes...it is kind of like when a parent disciplines their child in a similar manner. They take some ones toy so the parent takes it from their kid and asks them "how do you like when the same thing happens to you".

Maybe he is resetting the playing field, letting the previously privileged group understand they are not in control and free to do whatever they want anymore. Maybe this is just his Great Twitter Reset.

He has a vision for twitter, one that doesn't include him losing $44B, he is acting on that vision. He knows he can't do that without massive users and it can't just be an echo chamber just from one side.

The most logical answer is typically the correct answer.

What "previously privileged group" was this?

Trans-people, who are persecuted routinely by people in power in this country?
Minorities?
Journalists, who work hard to communicate facts to us, for very little pay?

Be specific.

lol… you really just proved our point without realizing it. elon is going to blow 44 billion and ruin his businesses to own the libs.
 
Because he is trying to drive interest and activity
He needs "advertisers"

Not "interest and activity". And based on shutting off accounts randomly (and allowing impersonators anywhere on the site for $8), that's not gonna drive ad revenues...

What do you think Elon's #1 goal is?

I am not sure either of us know the answer but I think our answers likely define our current outlooks. You share your answer to that question and I'll share mine. Then we will see who has a more rational answer and logic...fair?

He’s winging it, day by day.

It isn't lazy, I am going on offense calling out the lunatics of both side. They are destroying our country by purposefully poisoning political good will and cooperation between both parties. They are a threat, they need to be mocked back into seclusion just like the KKK and ANTIFA dipshits need to be mocked back into submission.

It is time for the adults to take control of the country again. I say that thinking Joe is an adult but the tank is empty there, he can't control the radicals in the party he is too old and that position never needs someone 70+ in the drivers seat.

His number one goal 6 months ago was to NOT buy Twitter for $44B. But he f**ked up.
Sure he bought it and likely saw the valuation was about ready to tank with the rest of the market. I also think buying it was stupid of him but that is done. But he had a reason for buying it to begin with, what do you think that reason was and do you think it relates to any of the goals he has set?

Fuçkin-A bro!
 
he can't control the radicals in the party

What "radicals"?

I'll "repost" what I voted for:


  • Lower prescription drug pricing, allowing Medicare to negotiate prices with pharmaceutical companies
  • Free and fair elections
  • Support for Ukraine, against our geopolitical rival, Russia
  • Long-term plans for renewable energy and reduced fossil fuels dependence
  • Capable and qualified judges appointed to our courts
  • Strengthened ties with our NATO allies

Biden has delivered on every one of these items.
I'd like him to deliver on abortion access, unlimited, up to the 3rd trimester, and access after then in cases of difficult pregnancies/health-related problems. NOT waiting until someone's life is "in danger", but rather allowing abortions BEFORE they can become seriously ill.

What on any of this list is "radical" to you? Was Roe v Wade "radical"?
 
I haven't followed his career like many on here but if I had to guess, he is mentally ill or perhaps having a nervous breakdown. His actions seem random and not consistent with any goals.

Did he?

Seems like it was a silly, reactionary, thing (just like how he's running it now) and he spent loads of legal cash trying to back out of that rash action. But failed.

Now, he's in the same "reactionary" mode, while bleeding cash from the company and selling off another $3+B of his Tesla holdings to prop it up.
