Defiant L’s still going strong.

Why are you posting this old tweet?

Getting banned from Twitter for 24hours was the singular greatest career boost any one of those journalists will ever experience.

It was Christmas x1000 I wouldn’t want to draw attention to that huge right wing own if I were you

 

[Montalbane]

Guys I think some chaps may be booty blasted at elon for buying twitter and removing their cheerleading trannies.

Just an inkling.

 

[AnOminous]

Not gonna lie, it's obvious that @AnOminous is the biggest Elon Musk simp in the world. He tries to pretend that he's "above it all" or whatever, but it's plainly obvious that he masturbates to Musk's plane.

Not Musk himself, oh no, that would actually make sense. No, @AnOminous jerks off to Musk's airplane. His jet. That's what gets @AnOminous off.

He lifts his stomach (@AnOminous is very fat) until he find his dick and then jerks off to the newest Elon Jet update. This isn't speculation, I literally have have a video of @AnOminous jerking off while moaning the name of Elon Musk's jet. I'm not joking, I have the video.

This is neither slander nor libel because it's true. @AnOminous masturbates to Elon Musk's airplane.

This but YOU!

 

[Elwood P. Dowd]

I think I just stumbled across peak Musk Derangement Syndrome. This screed goes on longer than the Korean War, so I won't post the whole thing, but here's an excerpt:

There isn’t enough money printed to change who they are. Elon Musk is (or was) the richest man on Earth. He’s losing money like a teenage nosebleed every time he goes further to the right. This is just the shape of his soul, it’s not a feint for profit. It’s not just about making enough money to keep the servers going and buy everyone in the office a house, it’s not even about making shareholders rich, it’s fundamentally about the yawning, salivating need to control and hurt. To express power not by what you can give, but by what you can take away. And deeper still, this strange compulsion of conservatism to force other humans to be just like you. To clone their particular set of neuroses and fears and revulsions and nostalgias and convictions and traumas so that they never have to experience anything but themselves, copied and pasted unto the end of time. A kind of viral solipsism that cannot bear the presence of anything other than its own undifferentiated self, propagating not by convincing or seduction or debate, but by the eradication of any other option.

And I’m so tired of it. I’m so tired of running from that Nothing, that creeping enforced sameness, that self-programming grey goo of empty fear of the Other. Running from oasis to oasis in a desert of uncaring where empathy never wets the sand.

I’m so tired of just harmlessly getting together with other weird geeks and going to what amounts to a digital pub after work and waking up one day to find every pint poisoned. Over and over again. Like the poison wants us specifically. Like it knows we will always make its favorite food: vulnerability, connection, difference. I’m so tired of lunch photos and fanfic and stupid jokes and keeping in touch with family across time zones and making friends and starting cottage industries and pursuing hobbies and meeting soulmates and expressing thoughts and creating identities and loving TV shows and reading books and getting to know a few of your heroes and raising kids and making bookshelves and knitting and painting and fixing sinks and first dates and homemade jam and, yes, figuring out what Buffy characters we are, listening and learning and hoping and just fucking talking to each other weaponized against us. Having our enthusiasm over the smallest joys of everyday life invaded by people who long ago forgot their value and turned into fodder for the death of thought, the burial of love.

These were our spaces, little people who just wanted to connect. And one by one, they get turned into battlefields where we have to fight just as hard to exist as we do in the real world. And every time a few more people you never thought the Absorbaloff of hatred and gleeful sadism would slurp up don’t come along to the next safe place, and start trying to take it away before anyone can get there.

How dare they? How dare they take everyday life and load it into a cannon just to fire it back in our faces?

One awful man should not be able to destroy something the world created together, for good or ill. No, we didn’t create the code or rent the offices, but without the words we put together in those little boxes, Twitter is and was nothing. Humanity made that place, and it is all our best and our worst. One unimaginably rich man should not be able to take away the livelihoods of millions of people just paying the fucking rent—and if I see one more smug post telling people to just delete it and they’ll be better off, I’m going to turn into a fucking dragon and burn this place to the ground.

This is probably about 10% of the total of the rant. It certainly is a dilly. I dipped out after 217th time she noted how bad and evil and other nasty stuff ol' Elon is.

Beyond that, "Xellenial" is a new on on me. I guess since GenX ran to 1980 and she was born in 1979? Kinda like it, TBH. I'd heard the ass end of the Baby Boom (say 1962 to 1964) referred to as "Atari Boomers" since they could hardly have been (or at any rate should not have been) at Woodstock, etc., but many doubtless did own Atari 2600s. Just an aside.

The guys of Unz.com wish then Musk spill more beans about the ADL and SPLC.

THE TWITTER FILES (3): Release The Files On Twitter’s Enabling ADL, SPLC Censorship!

PLEASE NOTE: This is the third part of a three-part series describing the three-headed Hydra threatening free speech on Twitter. Read part 1 about Twitter and FBI, CIA and DHS spooks here. Read about the Twitter enabling Antifa in part 2. Video version...

www.unz.com

If Elon Musk is serious about rooting out the censorship and bias on Twitter, there is no more critical threat to global free speech than the multi-billion-dollar Censorship Lobby including groups like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Transparency requires Musk to release the “Twitter Files”—its internal documents—on the backchannel influence these groups have exerted on Twitter moderation decisions.

While both organizations have the same objective—the suppression of conservative and nationalist speech online—they aim to achieve it in different ways. The SPLC partners with vicious Antifa gangs to dox and harass political dissidents, while the ADL flexes its frightening influence over the federal government and Silicon Valley, in collaboration with many current and former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials.

These Left-Totalitarians brag about training law enforcement in their twisted view of the U.S. Constitution as they work to turn online media into an iron fist for suppressing dissent under the guise of controlling “hate” and “violence.”

Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey initially placed both organizations on Twitter’s (recently dissolved) Trust and Safety Council, which recommended policies on censorship.

As profiled in my earlier work for VDARE.com, SPLC lead spokesthug Michael Edison Hayden is a proudly self-proclaimed “antifascist” who regularly incorporates Antifa doxes in his reporting, uses Twitter to coordinate with fellow extremists, communicates with Twitter officials about deplatforming decisions and uses his account to promote the most notorious Antifa ideologues:

[SBG]

I'd been shadowbanned for years and I checked today and it apparently was lifted. So apparently shadowbans are being lifted all over the place so a lot more people will suddenly be showing up in hashtags and searches than there used to be.

DOWN THE TWITTER RABBIT HOLE​

Follow The White Rabbit
Elon Musk invited us all to tour the rabbit hole that was the inside operation at Twitter. It was not a pretty sight, but it confirmed what many of us suspected.

The Deep State, the White House, the corrupt legacy media, the security agencies, and Twitter insiders all conspired to shut down conservative voices. Their contempt for our First Amendment was obvious.
During a presidential election, we were not allowed to talk about Hunter’s laptop. The security agencies lied and said it was Russian propaganda. Twitter made sure nobody could talk about how Hunter Biden peddled the influence of his father, Joe Biden…aka, ‘The Big Guy.’ Pedo Joe was able to safely campaign from his basement without facing dire questions about his corruption.

Jack Dorsey, Twitter’s CEO at the time, testified under oath to Congress and claimed Twitter did not engage in shadow banning or censorship. He lied outright.

Many of us warned about Big Pharma corruption and Fauci’s lies. Many prominent and respected doctors who warned about the experimental vaccines were banned. Those who complained about the useless masks, social distancing, and lockdowns were also silenced. Free speech was easily taken down by a fake pandemic.

Most disturbing were the revelations that the White House and the FBI were ordering Twitter to ban voices they didn’t want anyone to hear. Twitter complied. This is behavior typical of a banana republic and unfortunately that’s what the United States of America has become.

— Ben Garrison

THE FBI VIOLATED AMERICAN CITIZEN’S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND MUST BE ABOLISHED​

“Oh, what a tangled web of lies, and censorship they weave”

People are now seeing that censorship on social media platforms, like Twitter and Facebook, was used to cover up election fraud and thereby steal the election. With the release of the Twitter files part 7, we now know the FBI played a major role in the fraud and cover up on Twitter. Twitter had more than 17 former FBI agents employed and had weekly meetings with the FBI and White House on who they would censor and ban.

“As of 2020, there were so many former FBI employees — ‘Bu alumni’ — working at Twitter that they had created their own private Slack channel and a crib sheet to onboard new FBI arrivals,” Michael Shellenberger revealed in the release of the Twitter files 7.

The FBI and DHS, with the help of many corrupt individuals, fake news and social media platforms, overthrew the duly elected president of the United States.


The FBI covered up Hunter Biden’s ‘Laptop From Hell’ and installed a puppet regime going against the people’s wishes.

The FBI violated every American citizen’s rights in the process, this is treason at the highest levels.

Election fraud is no longer a myth, it is real and the evidence keeps piling higher and higher.

The FBI, the DHS, and the corrupt politicians had a plan, they even had a ‘war-room’ and used all their weapons to manipulate the election and overthrow the United States Government.

They did this knowingly and their acts of treason is what the Twitter files have exposed.

This can no longer be denied.

Former congressman Ron Paul weighed in on the scandal:

“As we learn more and more from the “Twitter Files,” it is becoming all too obvious that Federal agencies such as the FBI viewed the First Amendment of our Constitution as an annoyance and an impediment. In Friday’s release from the pre-Musk era, journalist Matt Taibbi makes an astute observation: Twitter was essentially an FBI subsidiary.

The FBI, we now know, was obsessed with Twitter. We learned that agents sent Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth some 150 emails between 2020 and 2022. Those emails regularly featured demands from US government officials for the “private” social media company to censor comments and ban commenters they did not like…

There is good news in all of this, however. As Constitutional Law Professor Jonathan Turley wrote over the weekend, a new Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll found that even though the mainstream media has ignored the “Twitter files,” Americans have not. Nearly two-thirds of respondents believe that Twitter was involved in politically-motivated censorship in advance of the 2020 election. Some 70 percent of those polled believe Congress must take action against this corporate/state censorship.

We do not need the FBI and CIA and other federal agencies viewing us as the enemy and attacking our Constitution. End the Fed…and End the Federal Bureau of Investigation!”

We couldn’t say it better than that, thank you Ron Paul.

Internet Leftoids - "Bu-bu-but what about my obsession with Hunter Biden's penis!"

The only "botched execution" is that Elon gives the impression he's making shit up as he goes along, hence the journoroach suspensions (which IMO shouldn't have happened since posting where his jet is isn't doxing, even if those journos are eating karma). The links policy was really fucking dumb, so dumb that he reverted it at the request of Quarter Pounder of all people. The corporate impersonation thing was funny and deserved since fuck those corpos, but let's be real, it's really bad for Twitter's revenue (hence why the gold checkmark makes some sense).

I expect the policy to be back at some point, with better wording (and the drama has died down) biggest issue was that no one knew how it's gonna be applied.

if musk is smart he gives artists their own checkmark and then they can use twitter itself to link to all kinds of shit. even if you're nothing more than advertising, least you're still paying for it.

I’m a big fan of how the extremely dubious stalker story (the excuse used to ban publicly available private jet location data off Twitter) is developing.
Now we have the other party, who may or may not be some kind of skitzo, being hit by musk’s driver and that is what the cops are investigating.

I don't know why the fuck everyone is so goddamn tribal about this.

Elon Musk is Krusty the Clown. He is a funny dancing monkey with a bunch of money that does stupid shit.

Twitter is a cesspit. It has actively made the human race dumber.

Elon getting in charge of Twitter is crashing it into the ground.

A massive evil company is getting wrecked because of a clown.

That is very funny.
Don't get mad. Laugh at the dancing clown burning down his billion-dollar asset. And laugh at the people seething about it.

It hasn't really gotten much traction yet, but Elon randomly joined this Twitter Spaces call being hosted by a bunch of hardcore Elon fans/Tesla bulls yesterday, where they were discussing Tesla stock.

https://twitter.com/StockMKTNewz/status/1606142554709413890 [A]

Here's a copy of it from when Elon joins to when he leaves.

Elon joins around 2:02:18 of the Twitter space.

Highlights of note with timestamps from the Twitter space, subtract 2:02:00 to get the corresponding indexes in the above clip:

- 2:03:55: "I needed to do a deep dive on twitter to make sure the company doesn't go bankrupt next year".
- 2:04:55: Claims interest rates rising are negatively impacting car sales and that the economy is in "deflation", with the Fed having "old data". Claims T-bill returns are now above the RoR of the S&P 500.
- 2:07:15: Is asked if Tesla can sustain a 50% growth rate still. Elon: "it's not like I have some crystal ball that's a predictor of everything." Says we're in a recession and it will be comparable to 2009. Says when heading into a recession the Fed should be reducing rates, not increasing them.
- 2:10:00: Claims Tesla's FSD makes the cars worth far more than any other company's offerings because they're upgradeable. Claims Tesla will still be the most valuable company in the world in under 5 years.
- 2:12:19: Is asked to respond to critics stating his political tweets / Twitter stumbles are responsible for $TSLA stock woes while he blames it all on macro. Elon: "Automotive demand is problematic everywhere in the world. Not everywhere cares about my political comments. [...] I really don't think this is a significant factor"
- 2:14:22: Is asked why he feels he can't delegate talent to run Twitter while he focuses on Tesla. Elon says Tesla is a much harder business than Twitter to operate, with him saying he spent the last month giving Twitter "high cognitive load" to "get the insane costs under control so it wouldn't go flat bankrupt", but that twitter is normally "low cognitive load" to maintain.
- continues sperging about the interest rates. Everyone else on the call agrees.
- 2:28:00: Elon won't be selling any more Tesla stock for "18 to 24 months, 2025 or something, unless he needs to sell some for a worst case scenario or something". He told Tesla investors this previously before selling a bunch of it to fund the Twitter deal.
- Further sperging about the interest rate hikes and the incoming recession.
- 2:33:10: Talks about how Broadcom's stock once dropped by 97% during a panic market. I'm not sure if this is a good thing to bring up right now.
- 2:42:16: "The board is very open to doing a buyback".
- 2:45:59: Is queried on whether there's Tesla/Twitter synergy or future plans to have them integrate or otherwise benefit each other.
- 2:47:10: "Is there a way to connect our Tesla profiles to our Twitter profiles and get it in the car?"
- 2:48:30: "Tesla is fundamentally a far more complex beast than Twitter." "Twitter has servers and software and phone apps and stuff, it's an order of magnitude less complex than Tesla."
- 2:55:55: "My insight into the fed's decision-making is zero."
- 2:58:11: Tesla superfan / investor who claims to have a trans kid confronts Elon about his stances on trans people.
- 3:00:20: "I'm not going to suppress my views just to boost the stock price"
- Ross Gerber suggests media are crafting a narrative out of things Elon tweets.
- 3:01:24: Whole Mars guy: "You don't hate trans people do you?"
- Elon: "Of course not, I'm not a hater of anyone frankly, but it does bother me that people will use pronouns to be super judgemental. To me it feels like a lot of these things are a [moral] shield that allow people to be assholes. It gives them an excuse to be an asshole and that's what bothers me"
- Parent starts responding, then the others shove discussion off the topic back towards Twitter/Tesla. Parent leaves or is booted.
- 3:03:12: Is asked for clarity on whether polls will continue being used and whether they're a valid metric due to bots. Elon responds how it's ridiculously cheap to buy a bot army, it's less than a penny a bot, and "bot armies" are fighting back and forth. Suggests polls could be limited to verified users. Suggests they're not all bots, but that there are "warehouses containing 10,000 phones" where a hundred people are all running captchas and running troll armies, so twitter blue would end the issue by increasing the cost prohibitively.
- 3:07:35: "My parting words were, there's stormy weather ahead, but then it's going to be sunshine thereafter".
- 3:09:45: Says "the vast majority of trips I take on autopilot are zero intervention". I'm not sure if he should have said this, effectively the CEO admitting in a backhanded manner that FSD still requires him to intervene.
- 3:10:45: Suggests FSD is still improving and the AI is continuing to evolve.

Elon leaves afterwards.

TL;DR of my opinions: Elon seems to have forgotten the whole "inflation" thing. He blames everything happening to Tesla's stock price on interest rate increases. He thinks FSD is the future and seems to be going all-in on it and suggesting it will be the cornerstone of the company. His suggesting that Tesla is way harder to run than Twitter is not very reassuring to me, since the last month at Twitter has been pretty chaotic and even the most bullish Musk stans can agree has had its stumbles. It's probably a good thing the people on the call prevented the discussion from staying on the troon topic very long, as if it had, Elon might have started sperging and said something more damaging from a Tesla shareholder perspective.
