We're about where I expected we'd wind up from this - back where we fucking started. At least the ride was entertaining, watching people lose their shit over Musk.

Yeah, guys still an autistic retard, and gets his walking orders from the WEF like all these fucks do, but at least Musk needs a population if he's actually serious about the whole Colonizing Mars thing. Might not be "Our Guy", but at least a somewhat lesser evil - and he at least does stupid shit for us to laugh at more often...

AOC says Elon Musk put his 'finger on the scale' during Turkey's presidential election and is 'concerned' it will set a precedent for the 2024 US election​


The congressperson was referring to a move by Musk, a "free speech opportunist," to censor dissident accounts on Twitter at the request of Turkey's right-wing autocratic leader, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. At the time, Musk said that the decision was made after Erdogan threatened to completely shut down Twitter access in the country. This way, Musk said, people would still have some access.

However, critics pointed out that Musk and Erdogan have had a business relationship since at least 2021.

Right, because Twitter would never censor opponents of the regime in the United States. That's just crazy talk!

God I hate this bitch so much. There is a special level of Hell for people like you who use their elected seat in Congress as a platform to self-aggrandize and make money, you absolute fraud.

I wonder what twitters balance sheet looks like. I think they must be walking a fine line between bankruptcy and solvency. I only hope the selling out (🌈) is a short term thing leading to becoming their own payment processor. I think the main thing is seeing if the can even survive. Survive, get a foothold, expand services, squeeze back harder on censorship once you have a stable foundation. I don't like the current path, but that's the most optimistic I can be. I would rather he remove twitter from a whole country, or let the offending govt ban it, than appeasing political censorship, weak.

I think he still prioritizes expansion of Tesla/SpaceX over everything else, and when the chips are down that will take precedent. I would be wary of anything "Business Insider" has to say, they have been trying to shit in Musks cereal since 2012. That being said, I haven't looked into the Turkey election thing closely. He won't be pissing off the Chinese anytime soon, but he does have an axe to grind with the Biden administration as they have essentially snubbed him from many, many EV related things/conferences in favor of old auto "competitors" like General Motors. For a while Biden wouldn't even say the name "Tesla." Which is pretty ridiculous when you think about it. He doesn't forget these things, and the next election season should be pretty interesting as a result of this.

I'm not surprised that Neuralink got "approved" for clinical trials so quickly, but they are just a rubber stamp agency at this point. I guess if you are completely paraplegic you might not care, and would want to sign up for the clinical trial, but that stuff still gives me the heebeejeebies. Wild times.

The full thread
Twitter canceled a deal with @realDailyWire to premiere What is a Woman? for free on the platform because of two instances of “misgendering.”

I’m not kidding.

Here's what happened:🧵1/16

2/16 One year ago today, we released What is a Woman?. To celebrate the occasion and expand the movie’s already enormous impact, we decided to give it away for free for 24 hours on Twitter.

3/16 With Twitter’s recent commitments to free speech, we thought it would be the perfect place to distribute the film and drive the conversation forward on one of the most important topics of our day.

4/16 Twitter responded with enthusiasm and offered us the opportunity to buy a package to host the movie on a dedicated event page and to promote the event to every Twitter user over the first 10 hours.

5/16 We accepted and signed an agreement. After we signed, Twitter asked to see the film to better understand what parts may “trigger” users, so they could better prepare their response. They said they were still all hands on deck for launch, so we sent them a screener.

6/16 After reviewing the film, though, Twitter let us know that not only could we no longer purchase the package they offered, they would no longer provide us any support and would actually limit the reach of the film and label it as “hateful conduct” because of “misgendering.”

7/16 Specifically: In the film, a father refers to his 14-year-old daughter as “her,” and a store owner uses the “wrong” pronoun in a confrontation with a trans person.

8/16 We reminded Twitter they removed “misgendering” from their policy, that the term “misgendering” itself is misleading, and that enforcing such a policy places them on the side of the most radical elements in society - the side most opposed to their commitment to free speech.

9/16 Twitter clarified they only removed “misgendering” from their policy because they didn’t need to be that specific, but that they still consider “misgendering” abuse and harassment.

They gave us the opportunity to edit the film to comply.

We declined.

10/16 When we asked how much they would limit the visibility if we posted the film anyway, Twitter replied that our own followers would not be able to see it in their feeds. This, they said, is part of their “speech not reach” policy.

11/16 Of course, saying “you have the right to speak, but we'll make sure no one hears you” is a bit like saying “you have the right to cast a vote, but we'll make sure it isn't counted.” That's not a right at all!

12/16 We brought all our shows to Twitter Tuesday because we believed Twitter was committed to free speech, especially on this issue.

After all, the @TheBabylonBee was silenced on Twitter over this very issue, and that in part prompted @elonmusk to purchase the platform.

13/16 The other tech platforms have already decided where they stand in the trans debate and demonetize and deprioritize all those who disagree.

Now, Twitter has joined the ranks of the other tech superpowers in ensuring one side of the debate is suppressed.

14/16 @elonmusk is not beholden to conservatives. He has the right to run his business as he sees fit. But if Twitter is going to throttle one side of one of the most important debates facing society, it cannot claim to champion free speech.

15/16 I hope @elonmusk will reconsider this awful policy.

If we can't debate these issues on Twitter, where can we debate them?

If conservatives aren't welcome on Twitter, where are they welcome?

It’s unlikely another centibillionaire will come along to offer an alternative.

16/16 We plan to post the movie anyway tonight at 8:00 pm eastern. Will Twitter make good on their threat to throttle it and label it "hateful conduct," or will Twitter live up to its great promise?

We'll all find out together.

Elon is no longer the CEO and we now have a woman who is known for working with Biden Admin and the WHO. What more do you expect?

He's still the owner. He appointed her. If the bitch isn't fired and the movie aired by the end of the day, my point stands: he's gay and buck broken.
