How is that different from the last people who ran it?
Twitter experiences massive loss of advertising.
- Thread starter seam
- Start date
Some of those are nice, but the big one I'd like to see is changing the algorithms around political content... no more likes, either. No trending political stuff.
Seems pretty clear, circumstances have changed. Before it was warning then ban, now it is clear up front it is bannable and moving straight to ban. It was not allowed before or after, nothing has changed.
So there was a change.
What i find most deliciously ironic about this whole fiasco is liberals showing their true colors of unabashed hatred and contempt of someone not allowing their tribe to completely dominate/control the space in which discourse is made. Also the ease at which they were able to manipulate public opinion in coordination with twitter’s power brokers is now gone. That makes some of yall really angry and hateful. Strange.
This was always about power.
This was always about power.
Lol, clown show.

Sadly this is quite an ignorant take. I thought you were better than this @GOHOX69
Elon Musk Left a South Africa That Was Rife With Misinformation and White Privilege (Published 2022)
The apartheid era created all-white enclaves littered with anti-Black government propaganda and sheltered from the atrocities of apartheid.
By John Eligon and Lynsey Chutel
John Eligon and Lynsey Chutel interviewed 13 acquaintances or family members of Elon Musk over the course of five days, reporting from Johannesburg and Pretoria.

“Classmates at two high schools he attended described him as a loner with no close friends. None offered recollections of things he said or did that revealed his views on the politics of the time. But Black schoolmates recall that he spent time with Black friends.”
“As far as being sheltered from it, that’s nonsense. They were confronted by it every day,” recalled Errol, who said he belonged to the anti-apartheid Progressive Party. He added, “They didn’t like it.”
According to a biography of Mr. Musk, written by Ashlee Vance, Mr. Musk said he did not want to partake in South Africa’s mandatory military service because it would have forced him to participate in the apartheid regime — and that may have contributed to his decision to leave South Africa shortly after high school graduation.”
“Mr. Musk became friends with a cousin of Mr. Netshituka’s, Asher Mashudu, according to Mr. Mashudu’s brother, Nyadzani Ranwashe. One time at lunch, a white student used an anti-Black slur, and Mr. Musk chided the student, but then got bullied for doing so, Mr. Ranwashe said.”

Uh....it was in testing phases
And his announcement implied it's because of him (it wasn't)
His dad is a scoundrel. They are estranged. He left home at 17 and never went back. How are you going to hold that over him now?
I don't claim to know Musk intimately like you do. However, I do know, and you cannot claim otherwise, that south Africa is a segregated society. To say Elon wasn't shaped by that is to deny the obvious. I'm not a shrink but there are some things that are off with him.

To clarify, that's not the real guy pretending to be JFK Jr.
The Left makes claims twitter will become free for all. Gets pissed.
Literally nothing changes in terms of the rules or moderation.
The Left gets pissed when accounts are held to pre-Elon terms.
Hilarity ensues. Make up your freaking minds people.
You’re defending Elon Musk super hard. Like, nobody gets away with saying anything mean about him or Twitter if you have anything to say about it.
It’s really darling.
Maybe Musk is pulling an Andy Kaufman act, and the persona he’s adopted as a socially inept bumbling dork with too much money and an inferiority complex that makes him need to be adored by morons is his version of Tony Clifton.
I don’t like liars or people/media outlets that mindlessly spread lies and manipulate people. I really enjoy using Twitter and think Musk is the most positively influential human of the 21st century. So yeah, I mind when people lie or are senselessly cruel.
No it isn’t. Impersonating another person still not allowed. Moderation hasn’t changed per the person responsible for moderation.

Do you consider this way of looking at the world 'baked into your DNA', or was it taught by the culture you grew up in?
