The Elon Musk Twitter shitshow
- Thread starter CleteyColgate

The argument is they created an account to follow only 30 neo-Nazis and several advertisers. Then refreshed like crack monkeys until they could create a screenshot they could share and pretend that was something that would happen to anyone.
It was deliberately manufactured outrage, for the purpose of defaming the company. You don’t have to go far to find people who fell for it…
Exactly. But it happened, and could easily have happened the first time based on people’s engagements. Good luck with that one in court, Elon 😆.
No, it couldn’t.
That’s the point of the suit.
Even creating an account that only followed 30 neo-Nazis and the advertisers they still struggled to make it create the association they sought:
The truth bore no resemblance to Media Matters’ narrative. In fact, IBM’s, Comcast’s, and Oracle’s paid posts appeared alongside the fringe content cited by Media Matters for only one viewer (out of more than 500 million) on all of X: Media Matters. Not a single authentic user of the X platform saw IBM ’s, Comcast’s, or Oracle’s ads next to that content, which Media Matters achieved only through its manipulation of X’s algorithms as described above.
I can’t imagine the type of gullible rube that takes Elon Musk’s word as unquestioned gospel. Trumpanzees and Musk bitchboys keep loving their serial liars.
Nobody will need to in a trial.
Evidence will be introduced.
From Musk’s point of view the courts are the best forum for him to prove Media Matters was tricking gullible rubes into believing that neo-Nazi content was being paired alongside major advertisers.
Did any gullible rubes start threads on this forum after getting tricked by Media Matters media manipulation?
This thread is weird. I agree that X is now awful and Musk sucks. I quit X months ago, life went on just fine. Why do you still use it and then post tweets here? There are plenty of other places to get the info on X.
Linda is paid to do dirty things with her mouth. Although, at least she gets paid for her services. Phenomenally does it for free.
I like to keep an eye on it so I know when the next coup will go down. We should all be worried about X becoming an open sewer of hatred.
Future political prisoner Ken Paxton is weaponizing the Texas AG's office in order to go after Media Matters.
But, BIden is old, so what other option but kneeling to authoritarians do we have?

Extraordinary manipulation such as this and refreshing...
First, Media Matters accessed accounts that had been active for at least 30 days, bypassing X’s ad filter for new users.

I remember when Dateline showed ‘how easy it is’ to make a truck blow up, they just forgot to mention strapping fireworks to it.
Are you parroting this bit about ‘how easy it is to make ads on X display next to Nazi content’ without having read the complaint itself detailing how this only happened to the account they manipulated to make it happen - and not to any actual users?
They’re not reporting. They’re deliberately going to extremes to create a data point relative to no one outside their ‘experiment’, and then feed it to the media as if it were news and happening to actual people.
And you fell for it.
Discovery from MM for Musk's (and other's) emails on this subject is gonna be fun!!!!
I refuse to believe they were advertising in the first place based on the # of crappy Chinese product ads I get
The longer version "Advertisers killed the company" pushback from Sorkin on that.
Musk also says “Hi, Bob,” appearing to call out Disney CEO Bob Iger.

Totally professional. Where's Musk jizz guzzler @Phenomenally Frantastic these days?
Our CEO tells customers and partners to GFT all the time. All the smart CEOs do that.
Cancelling his Disney/Hulu account. Throwing away all of his Apple devices. In general, punishing all those who refuse to bend the knee to Eloon.
Drugs are a real bitch.
How do you convince yourself to stay on his board of directors? Particularly Tesla.
Based AF. Bob Iger is in his final days at Disney anyways and will soon be gone.
I am not sure he wanted Twitter to make money off of speech, I think he wanted it for an untethered platform, and to own the Libs. Also, he seems to have a touch of megalomania about him these days.
Elon should have stuck with just weed. His brain is melting.
If he wasn’t rich he’d be the weird IT guy everyone (a) avoided like the plague, or (b) befriended in the hopes he’d spare you when he shot up the place.
