Musk bought Twitter, what hasn't gone wrong?

The far right gaslighting the world is pretty on point.

Now they even pretend that Hitler was a socialist/leftist because the National Socialist Workers Party had the words "Socialist" and "Workers" in it.

We have two types of far right wing now. One are those that blatantly worship fascism and Nazism. The other type is the ignorant uneducated far right sheep minions who were created by the former through lies, historical/political revisionism and propaganda and they don't want to admit they are fascists. They think they are libertarians and driven by values.
 
Btw this thread feels derailed AND on rail at the same time. Weird lol.

Anyway, on reddit, more and more are auto banning / deleting x links. Not sure whether it'll be big enough dent tho
 
I don't know if it's just statistical, or I'm noticing more now, or is even Google relaxing its policies, but I'm starting to see racist comments and discussions on youtube too.
I follow some "sciency" channels, and at the moment are going on some discussion of scientific racism and evolution.
It's like really living in 1925 but with computers.

FREEE SPEEEECH!!!!!!!!!!, as the blue-tickers might say.

The legacy media has been controlling the narrative for years, but it seems the social media tech bros now have the power to do this instead. It's just a pity that they are more fascist-y than even the right-wing media ever were. Actually, not all of them are personally fascist-y, but they know they will make money like there is no tomorrow if they are on the right side of the US government as it heads in that direction.
 
Musk is suing advertisers who pulled out of Twitter after their ads were placed next to racist and other offensive tweets.

He’s now asking for treble damages.

How is that case not dismissed?

Did the advertisers still have some contracts which obligated them to purchase a certain dollar volume of advertising or otherwise conduct business with Twitter?

Is it some suckass Republican judge in TX presiding over a bullshit case?
 
Whenever I send a DM using a VPN, I never get warned I have to do a verification thing first using somebody sitting on chairs. So if I don't remember to copy the text beforehand, it's irrirating. :p
 
Supposedly Musk voted for Clinton and maybe Biden.

Three years ago when the Ukraine war started, he tweeted "Stay strong Ukraine."

Supposedly he flipped -- flipped out and flipped ideology -- because the Biden administration dissed him, like not invite him to some event at the WH with auto industry execs to talk about increasing sales of EVs and charging infrastructure.

There may have been other perceived slights. You also had CA going hard on covid shutdown policies which coincided with a time when they were trying to ramp up production of either the Model 3 or the Y in Fremont, CA plant.

Remember also that initially, he tried to back DeSantis, then came over to Trump.

He has a lot of conflicts of interest now, to get regulators off the back of his companies or to make agencies give him contracts, like the one FAA is supposedly granting to Starlink.

But honestly, it seems to be about power and attention. He may actually be feeding on all the negative responses in the media and social media.
 
He's losing his marbles. Indications seem to be that he's heading deep into the K-hole. Which is very apt as he's always been an A-hole! I don't think anybody cares enough to stage an intervention, not that he's capable of listening to it. He's currently going completely Goldfinger by insisting on visiting Fort Knox so who knows what sort of whacky races stuff will be next!

Not long now until the value of Tesla collapses as he's destroying the brand with his shenanigans (and I've read various rumours of some dodgy accounting going on over there which is likely to come to light). He's lost tens of billions on twitter, but his ace in the pack is SpaceX which is really cutting-edge and has no competitors who can match the breadth of their abilities. I wonder how he'll manage to destroy their value as well?

He's certainly destroying the value of the US State with his moronic DOGE cuts.

The world is currently so ridiculous, I'm not sure that I'm not disappearing into the K-hole as well...

I doubt he's overly concerned about Teslas drop in value tbh. Nor twitter which was and is likely just a means to an end for him. He's basically power mad and now has more power than pretty much anyone in the world outside of maybe Trump and that guy running China.

I think its pretty crazy that we're currently witnessing the fall of the United States as a democracy and probably birth of a fascist super power it's place. At least no-one can't say we aren't living though humanity's most interesting days 😞
 
I don't think he's really concerned about the loss in value, either. When you're that rich, who really gives a crap about a few tens of billions here or there?

It's an unfortunate situation that we've got the worst possible person in the White House, doing the worst possible shit, influenced by the worst possible propagandists and backed to the hilt by the greediest possible misanthopists.

I suspect that we're going to discover just how supine the American right is because it is their guys doing the stupid shit. They've been making noises for decades about rising up and using their beloved firearms to defend freedom and now, they'll just sit at home polishing their guns as the country falls to bits around them. A real idiocracy. Let's hope the rest of us manage to avoid it!

Sort of hopeful that the ongoing shitshow in the US will act as a brake to the support for the right-wing populists who are fundamentally nothing more than bought and paid for plutocrat lackeys of the oligarchs.
