Twitter is a mess right now...

[Phenomenally Frantastic]

My biggest problem with Elon Musk:

Elon Musk is speaking out against government subsidies. Here's a list of the billions of dollars his businesses have received.

Musk's companies benefited from subsidies as recently as April, when SpaceX won a $2.89 billion contract from NASA. Tesla got subsidies for years.

Winning a contract isn’t a subsidy. I can see how if one believes BI’s mischaracterization it would appear hypocritical. For all of the hate Musk gets the CEO of BI is an actual conman who was charged for defrauding his clients during the dotcom bust. He was barred from securities industry for life. That’s your source.

They weren't all contracts.

They weren't all contracts.

That’s fair, I’m just clarifying as they get conflated.

Yes Tesla received general EV subsidies, just like GM, and every other auto manufacturer that produced EVs. This is not news and makes little sense to bash Musk or Tesla over. What other subsidies are you referring to?

Tesla received bailout money in 2008 and paid it back like a year or two later. GM still hasn’t paid theirs off! in 2022!

Correct.

It does, however, slow the spread.

$hit product, just like we both knew it would be, right Joe?

It's actually more effective than the flu vaccines are....

BOTH of them are

BOTH of them are

And "ivermectin" is AWESOME!!! Amirite!!??

🤣

 

[ihhawk]

I’m still waiting to see any kind of a change in my Twitter feed. Literally the same.

Good move on your part to change the subject.

 

[naturalbornhawk]

Oh no people are free to post whatever they want now how terrifying

Yes. HROT is a swarming nest of people who are against the concept of the free flow of ideas.

The worst thing you can do to a good idea is keep it in the dark. The worst thing you can do to a bad idea is keep it in the dark.

Simply pointing out the vaccines are light-years MORE effective than the crap America's Frontline Doctors were pushing.

And asking for MORE money out of people's pockets to get access to.

Oh please. How many idiots here during COVID were applauding censorship among the social platforms? Don't act like it didn't happen.

How many posters have been reported and censored on HROT?

I think Twitter will be more successful than ever. But we will see.

Like Truth Social?

Cause you already follow the wackjobs

I clearly meant the users, not the admin. Stop arguing like a woman. On a side note, sure I've had threads deleted.

Well, if we are against free debate would there not be massive reports to the admins and actions taken?

I create very few threads, and as I said, I've had threads deleted. Multiple threads. Those that have had threads deleted in the past KNOW that their thread will be deleted if they create something that's going to get reported and deleted and thus will not bother with creating them. Just a little critical thinking goes a long way.

 

[Phenomenally Frantastic]

This is the kind of horsesh*t I am hoping can be cleaned up under new management.

 

[naturalbornhawk]

Though if I had to guess I'd say the # of HROT threads that I personally started I could count on my fingers and toes, and maybe about 4 of them were deleted. Despite that, I do have to be honest and say that the Rivals admin staff here have been relatively tolerant.

People who didn't agree with what others had to say were able to stop the expression of opposing thoughts by deleting them. Now that the deleting has stopped, the opposing thoughts remain and people are upset and offended. Get over it, bunch of offended liberal crybabies. And I don't even consider myself to be a Republican.

 

[THE_DEVIL]

That was quick. Musk already cracking down on free speech.

Probably liberals or bad actors doing it for attention. They’ll get dealt with.

If some of the biggest celebrities and athletes leave twitter because of Elon's lack of moderation things will get real interesting.

Gm is already suspending advertising. Yes, I know they have a vested interest but once the door opens....

The first account wasn’t suspended when i first checked, i reported the tweet, and twitter already got back to me that the account is now suspended. The second account doesnt come up in a search anymore. Not sure about the third.

Twitter’s moderation has not yet been changed. Accounts have always been free to tweet ignorant and hateful shit, they get suspended when people make reports. Just like it used to be. Nothing has changed.

 

[Firekirknow]

It looks like we are going to need a new social network. Twitter can complete with truth parlor and the like for the nazi folks

So the Saudis own Twitter….Twitter and Tik Tok should both be banned by US Government.

No they don’t. They own a portion of it, just like they did before Elon bought it. The Saudis were a large shareholder of Twitter before Elon ever came along. They may have bought a bigger stake I don’t know but don’t spread BS dude.

We’re to believe that the same guy who tweeted out a link to the same site that claimed Hillary was dead and replaced by a double TO Hillary a story filled with right wing bullshit about the pelosi attack is going to be good for the platform? Lolololololol

Every media site runs untrue things these days. He did quickly delete the tweet when he got called out. I see you conveniently forgot that part.

That's a very lame defense. SMFH

A little chaos every now and then can be fun. I think that is where we are with this right now. Let’s get it on…
