The Elon Musk Twitter shitshow
- Thread starter CleteyColgate
- Start date
The algorithm set up by former management allows bot campaigns to mute/block targeted accounts which lowers their visibility and reach. His quest for paid verification is in part to combat the ability for bad actors to do this. These people are seeing the effects and drawing erroneous conclusions as to the cause. Just part of an ongoing smear campaign against Twitter and Musk in particular. Media outlets hate the competition.
🤣 Dude..Brianna Wu is a known TSLAQ and more likely than not a psychopath. She’s batshit crazy.
lol truth? Do you mean when Elon agrees with or retweets conspiracy theories?
Guy who burned 22 billion, is running an operation that is down 89% in ad revenue, and posted a conspiracy tweet about Paul Pelosi, that he has never removed or apologized for, has some thoughts on the truth?
Now that is some funny shit.
Now that is some funny shit.
Elon =/= Twitter
Not all “conspiracy theories” are false. Labeling everything controversial as conspiracy is just a pathetic attempt to crush dissenting ideas and discussion.
Coronavirus lab leak was a conspiracy theory. Now the government concludes it was the most likely cause of coronavirus outbreak. Whoops.

The US Department of Energy has assessed that the Covid-19 pandemic most likely came from a laboratory leak in China, according to a newly updated classified intelligence report. The assessment further adds to the divide in the US government over whether the pandemic began in China in 2019 as...

Ah, so you were misled. That makes sense. 89% of the “top 10” over the course of “past two months.”
Shouldn’t conflate that with all ad spending. Come on, you’re better than that.
The prior management worked pretty hard to eliminate bots.
Musk fired most all of those people. Then allowed anyone with $8 to get a "verified" account, which led to fake tweets like "Eli Lilly giving away insulin" that tanked their stock price. That simply did not happen before Musk.
More like when this happens. WaPo “Fact Checker” getting relentlessly fact checked on his false and misleading claims.
Lol is he apologizing to Juanita Broderick? Are apologies directed towards the person you're apologizing to? Also, you're the one that gets all bent out of shape any time there is even an ounce of criticism towards your hero Elon
Dude. Can you read?
“The US Department of Energy has assessed that the Covid-19 pandemic most likely came from a laboratory leak in China, according to a newly updated classified intelligence report.”
No. He is clearly referring to what he did.
The obvious inference is “Nonetheless, I apologize.” (to Paul Pelosi) or (for what I said to Paul Pelosi)
Yes he should have tagged him or directed it more specifically to him, but the follow up tweet removes all ambiguity.
This is not what a 30 year cyber security expert who testified before Congress said. In fact, he said the opposite. Was he charged with perjury?
Or maybe shouldn't have thrown in the "nonetheless" qualifier, which implies he doesn't really accept any responsibility here.
You are welcome to your interpretation. I read it as “Nonetheless (to Juanita’s comments), I apologize.”
meaning
(whether the left wants me to apologize) and (whether it was a weird situation) doesn’t matter, I apologize.
The video that was released clarified the situation and he realized he was wrong for that comment and he apologized.
Ahead of his time. Respect.

Crazy? On a scale of 1 to Phenomenally Frantastic, where does she sit?
Elon Nerds got bullied for buying their blue checkmark, so Musk had to change it to protect their fi-fi's
This is the kind of s*** I post about how the Cubs can win the WS in 2023.
"Department of Energy", you say?
Virology wouldn't seem to really be in their "swinglane", would it?
Multiple OTHER agencies have concluded differently.
Are they not State affiliated? Of course they are. What’s the problem here?
No.
And did you bother to read the policy, which was altered AFTER they made that dubious statement.
Who cares? Maybe the policy needed to be updated. It’s wasn’t a damn Commandment. Lol
Go cry about something that matters.
Perhaps companies that take federal money should get "state subsidized" markers.
Why was NPR singled out; BBC was not?
The policy did NOT "need to be updated".
