𝕏 / Twitter / X, the Social Media Platform Formerly Known as Twitter / "MUSK OWNS TWITTER"

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Am I the only one who thinks that Musk is a terrible public speaker? He just mutters, umm and ahhs, and sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about.

That's what I saw at the launch of the Tesla semi, but to be fair even I don't do a good job public speaking. Some people do and some don't. Just is what it is.
Could be a sign of the 'tism, or maybe just social anxiety.

So, in addition to the shrieking, unhinged Olbermann, this brave fat PoC is also still banned:


She is so unpleasant to look at and listen to that I hope she gets her Twatter back so she's only writing instead of speaking.
 
If that could cheer you up, Musk isn't a terrible public speaker compared to Joe Biden and Justin Castro, I mean Justin Trudeau. :story:

Justin is a good speaker. Along with his hair and his father it's one of his few things he's good at. The problem is that sometimes he doesn't understand the words he's saying or coming up with the words on his own. But he's good at saying them.
 
I love it. Banned just long enough for them to shriek, reveal their backchannels, show their asses and prove their hypocrisy in sheer panic, and now un-banned again so they have no (legitimate) reason to complain. Not that they ever did (private platform, make your own, etc.), but now it'll be even more useless pissing in the wind since they're not even banned.

I've always found something especially retarded about whining about being banned on twitter on fucking twitter. It makes me giggle.
 
Holy shit, this lunatic is posting on an account made for his dogs!
I told you this man was a mental case.
That was possibly the reason for the entire performance. Muskolini can now, by his logic, point his 120M followers at anyone who gets under his incredibly thin skin, and say “dox and kill them”.
And I hope he does, starting with you, you fucking retard!
 
It's really telling how the narrative around twitter shifts to suit the apparatchiks' needs:

-First, Twitter is a private company that can do whatever it wants, is completely unaccountable and the outcomes of what it does are irrelevant
-But then when Musk wants to buy it, it suddenly becomes the single most important political, social and journalistic platform on the internet and Muskrat is a literal existential threat who wants to make it into a MAGA stochastic terrorist antivaxx nazi shadow club or some shit.
-Then Musk releases documents proving that leftists were manipulating content on the website in order to deceive public opinion, and so twitter again becomes an "inconsequential social media website that can do whatever it wants", whilst these important and damning documents become a "nothingburger hurr durr".
-Then Musk bans some journos off twitter and magically, western democracy is again in danger.

How does a functioning person even buy all this shit.
 
Why is the Tesla stock going down so much? Brianna Wu is bitching about it like usual, and the NPCs are joining in on saying how much of a garbage evil person Musk is.

And heck he banned them for breaking, clear, easy and defined rules. Unlike previous.

Retards are making spurious links between tesla stock and his actions on twitter, but it's half because he sold 3.6bn in tesla shares a few days back, and half because the markets are trending down anyway. The current Tesla slide started in september, which is probably the result of tesla getting some actual competition, but also because the tesla semi reveal was a wet fart.

It's picking different positions on the fly based on whether, in that moment, they're better for your hidden, ulterior motive, and then grandstanding that position as if you've always had it, only to switch again, it's not just inconsistency, it's more malicious, a deliberate tactic.

Attention spans are short, and people don't care about inconsistencies within their own group, same goes for the right alternating for regulation or deregulation of the internet. Twitter's small word limits incentivizes behavior like that, it takes significantly more words to explain the deceptive thing someone is doing, and no one wants to read it, deception, lies, shit flinging, etc, will always have the advantage.

Key difference with the left is that, though they can't meme, their specialty is deceptive wordplay, and they can sell "we were ~always~ against ______" alot better.

IMO, the solution would be to come up with a simple, concise term that could be popularized and easily thrown into the faces of those who do it, like sealioning, but less retarded.
