Elon Musk Buys Twitter

[Edge-]

So any minute Elon is supposed to be livestweeting and doing a QA about Hunter Biden laptop suppression. Supposed to start an hour ago but when someone asked why he hadn't started, he said they had to do some additional fact checking first.

Rofl, the man spent $44B on a platform so he could troll with impunity, and he's gonna get his fuckin money's worth outta it.

Guess he doesn't want to end up being $1 trillion in debt once he starts making up lies to fit his narrative on the Hunter Biden story just like good 'ol Alex Jones, lol.

No, he'll just end up needing to find a way to make good with the investors who gave him billions for his vanity project. Which, again, if I were him I'd definitely be avoiding Saudi Embassies for the rest of my life.

Edit: I wonder how things are going at all his other companies? I imagine they've never been operating more smoothly with seemingly all of Elon's time and attention focused on shitposting on Twitter.

I'm not fully convinced the Saudi's and anyone else in the Middle East didn't fund this specifically to cause the downfall if Twitter considering it's been a tool in recent uprising in the middle east. Hell, it was a tool for an attempted uprising right here in America.

Just the biggest piece of crap ever Trying to drive traffic and distract from Kanye.

It's probably the same ole junk that executives didn't find it relevant. Maybe something such as Facebook.

Most importantly of this nothing burger story or no doubt Hunter had nepotism on his side. The CEO live tweeting this?

Oh my god? Nepotism? That's like the worst thing ever. Imagine having a small loan of a million dollars or an Emerald Mine in Africa from your parents and how giant of an asshole you would become. Fuck nepotism!

Way more exciting than some kinda boring comprehensive report following an internal investigation by competent people. Those reports suck, seriously, nobody but other boring people read that shit.

But a fuckin live Q&A with all the white supremacists and neo-nazi's he just unbanned? Now that's some top quality entertainment, mein dudens!

- - - Updated - - -

Was there a Q&A? I saw apparently Matt Taibi (fuckin lol) wrote about it and the worst I saw was, "Well both parties complained about problems and used tools available to them within Twitter to combat misinformation, but Twitter are a bunch of libs and favored Democrats!" which might you know, have nothing to do with the fact that Republicans were by-and-large the ones engaged in the spread of misinformation.

Was all this hoopla really over some stupid Substack article? All this to deflect from Elon unbanning white supremacists and Nazi's, including Kanye, only to immediately find out that maybe that's not such a good idea?

Edit: Nevermind, it's a stupid twitter thread lol: https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1598822959866683394

Yeah, what a joke, lol.

Also, what I was thinking is you’ve got tools available to GOP and DEM to reach out to Twitter and have stuff reviewed / removed.

Oh, and DEM’s used it more than GOP? Not surprising when you consider the GOP is the ducking clown show that couldn’t figure out to turn on the lights the first day of the Trump presidency, lmao.

Also, this is kind of like how GOP love to point out that more White people killed by police than Black people. It’s because there are more White people. So when you have one political party cultivating misinformation, of course they’re going to get pegged for Twitter violations more.

Also, love how they tried to muddy freedom of speech (because these idiots still don’t get what it actually is) and who even made a comment that “The First Amendment isn’t set in stone” or whatever? More misinformation imo, claiming someone said it but not identifying that person. Probably nobody actually involved with Dems.

Musk promises to deliver a huge reveal on the Hunter Biden laptop thing.

The entire thing is a giant nothingburger.

Musk and conservatives are crying that it's not a bigger story because the evil MSM is "suppressing" it. It couldn't possibly be because it was a giant nothingburger!

The entire thing is a giant nothingberder.

Fixed that for you.

This shit is honestly funny. Watching right-wing daily mail get eviscerated because this story isn't their breaking news top story and claiming they're showing their bias. lmao.

[Paranoid Android]

Alright the big reveal was the Biden campaign, not yet President, asking that Hunter's nude pics be removed

Pretty much. When conservatives on Twitter post conspiracy nonsense, they're asked to prove their allegations of Hunter's crimes. They say "LOOK IT UP IT'S REAL" like, what's real? Look what up? Nothing happened. Stop being delusional.

[Poopymonster]

The party of homophobia is asking to see Hunter Biden's nude pictures.

So more context of this Hunter Biden expose.

Elon Musk paid $44 billion to discover what we already knew: content moderation is messy and involves whole teams of people with a range of viewpoints trying to appease different political factions.

He then gave “leaks” to a Substack Man to present it as a blockbuster.



What Elon Musk’s Twitter files have revealed so far is that content moderation at Twitter WAS being decided by a team of people with differing viewpoints.

Now it’s being decided by the richest man on Earth with an axe to grind against one political party — a true scandal.

As this person stated, we already knew this. There was a back and forth between a team of moderators. So you will get opinions that they can cherry pick as Twitter being slanted to say protecting or covering up Biden.

I love this take. I stated this in other post this was in part to distract from Kanye. Leave it here.

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that Musk is doing "fire" tweets in response to these old internal Twitter discussions (that he leaked?), about content moderation decisions, while not showing us *this week's* internal discussions that *he* was involved in over Kanye & others?


This dude is such an effin moron:

If this isn’t a violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, what is?

A private company is not in violation of the 1st Amendment for choosing what it wants to show.

So the idiot gets it later.

Twitter acting by itself to suppress free speech is not a 1st amendment violation, but acting under orders from the government to suppress free speech, with no judicial review, is

Even his lapdog Matt Taibi states both had this info.

congrats to Jack Dorsey who went from texting his friend Elon Musk to buy his company Twitter to being doxed by his friend Elon Musk, the new owner of Twitter, and being harassed for the rest of his life by QAnon because he has the word “pizza” in his email address

Rofl, clowns gonna clown.

Yes! Dorsey championed Musk to buy Twitter and if he is like every rich person deserves this moniker of being stupid, then Jack clearly should have seen Musk intentions.

In fact the media before, the public and everyone didn't see Musk was on some right-wing red pill quest were blind to me. Shoot we have a whole thread about this going back a year. Never let Dorsey off the hook, and I hope he enjoys right wingers up in Jack's shit for next few years.

Between Dorsey announcing the BlueSky beta and his statements saying making Twitter a public company was the biggest mistake he made, I'm not convinced Dorsey was entirely hoping Musk would do exactly what Musk has done, setting the stage to kill Twitter off for Dorsey, who couldn't have ethically done so.

[Edge-]

Why isn't Elon Musk putting his money where his mouth is and posting Hunter Biden's dick pick if the First Amendment clearly protects such a post and Elon is a Free Speech Absolutist? THE PEOPLE ARE CLAMBORING TO SEE HUNTER'S DICK, GIVE THE RACISTS OF TWITTER THAT WERE JUST LET BACK ON WHAT THEY WANT!

[Cthulhu 2020]

So all this shit of Elon saying Twitter should be non partisan?

Yeah, he just got up on twitter live last night to admit that he bought twitter to help Trump and the GQP.

https://twitter.com/DanielNewman/sta...76930481917953

All because he believes Twitter helped Biden win in 2020.

He's also getting a pretty big head.



Elmo's giant waste of money, his flagrant disregard for the "values" he preached like free speech, legalization of humor, political neutrality, was all in a bid to control the narrative of the country and steer it to the right. Why do people think he fired pretty much every overseas Twitter employee and keeps a skeleton crew in the US to keep things running? There doesn't seem to be a plan or even desire for Twitter's long term success, just stopping the bleeding so he can keep the propaganda machine running as long as possible.

Elmo's posts are now basically at the top of everyone's feed, and fellow Twitter users in the left who had zero interest in tags related to conservative conspiracies are now seeing pretty much every right wing talking point on their feed even if they don't have such interests.

The fact that Elmo is turning Twitter into his right wing propaganda machine just tells us all we need to know about how long Twitter is going to last. RIP all of the artists and other professionals who built an audience on the platform. I salute all who are about to lose so much of their audience because a narcissistic billionaire wants to affect global discourse towards what he believes.

The thing to understand about the Hunter Biden laptop story was that it was SUPPOSED to be the Trump campaign’s “October Surprise.”

Mainstream media and social media were supposed to take the bait and focus on the appearance of scandal for the last weeks of the election.

They didn’t take the bait. The New York Post story was shunned. Social media platforms treated it as manufactured propaganda with questionable sourcing.

And conservative elites have been PISSED ever since.

They’re supposed to be these brilliant media manipulators.

Roger Stone and Steve Bannon and the rest of the Pepe Patrol pretend at being these incredibly sophisticated actors, injecting precision memes to bend the public will.

But they’re actual just blunt instruments.

Trump got impeached the first time for trying to condition congressionally-approved military aid to Ukraine on Zelenskyy announcing an “investigation” of Biden corruption.

He wanted the appearance of corruption, so he could wrap the media’s attention around it.

The laptop was basically Plan B.

They wanted everyone to freak out about it for a few weeks. Normally what happens is conservative media shouts about it, mainstream media genuflects and “covers the controversy,” and Bannon and co high-five each other for setting the agenda.

It didn’t work this time. They’ve been pouting ever since.

It’s a lot like a kid who loses a video game and starts slamming the controller, insisting it’s rigged or the system is cheating.

It’s NOT FAIR! Their plan was supposed to WORK!

Musk and Taibbi are tapping into that well of resentment.

Why should we care about the President’s adult failson who doesn’t work in the administration? Two years later, what’s the scandal supposed to even be?

The media didn’t take the bait. No fair. That’s the scandal.

They’re gonna keep bitching about it for years. It’s going to be louder and emptier than the Benghazi hearings.

The scandal is that their clever propaganda effort sank like a lead balloon. And that has to be SOMEONE ELSE’S fault.

That’s it. That’s the whole thing.
(Fin)

Breakthroughs in "Hillary's emails" that turned out to be nothingburgers, but the media picked up regardless, greatly affected the course of the 2016 election. Team Trump attempted the same with Biden through the Hunter's laptop conspiracy. They retrieved it from the computer repair ship, implanted emails faking communications with Russians, thought it would work for them a second time. When the media didn't run with Hunter's laptop and give them free votes, they started to cope, seethe and mald.

Rofl, of course Elon is a perpetually aggrieved conservative that always needs to "get back" at the libs for perceived slights.

What a deeply inadequate man. Stunningly inadequate.
