Thursday is going to funny. I wonder if Elon and his army of incel nerds have realized this. But the NFL opener on Thursday is in <check notes> Sao Paulo, Brazil. Thats a huge audience.
Going to be rough for all of the journos making the trek down there. Can they go cold turkey on twitting the game? Will it Striesand effect Elos shenanigans in Brazil?

"For the present this country is headed in directions which can only carry ruin to it and will create a situation here dangerous to world peace. With few exceptions, the men who are running this Government are of a mentality that you and I cannot understand. Some of them are psychopathic cases and would ordinarily be receiving treatment somewhere. Others are exalted and in a frame of mind that knows no reason."

So in addition to breaking his own sites rules and posting weirdo AI generated images because he can't stop thinking about Kamala, I didn't realize people making fun of his "high-value male" thing were being serious in that he took it from 4chin. I assume it was a joke and not like...literally true.
Though Elon shitposting in /pol/ is incredibly, painfully on-brand for the idiot.
Damn, it's almost like Elon is a bullshit dumbass liar. Anyways, fun stuff!“For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally,” he wrote.
Posting here even though it has some run in the Election thread.
Elon is such a bitch. This post somehow gets a warning, I bet not for Nazi image but of Elon and Trump kissing.
Now here is the link from Anonymous account. Idk who this person is.

Umm on the original post I don't see the Warning, so idk if this is/was private to just the account holder? I looked for the original post in the account, again idk who this person is, but I didn't do a super deep dive.
So maybe take it with a grain of salt depends on if that warning is public or private to people.
"Buh dah DEMS"
Yeah as much as I dislike Elon and how much of right wing shithole X has turned into, its kind of a bad precedent to ban a social media company like this
"I wish it need not have happened in my time." "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
I'd say the counterpoint is that it highlights how different nations handle freedom of speech and the responsibilities it carries, personally. Considering laws surrounding free speech are fairly different between countries, with America being in the far more expansive end of things.
But I'm unsure why the "legitimacy" of the judge globally matters? They are a Brazilian judge, what people in South Africa or Peru or the United States or Lithuania thinks of them is irrelevant.
Also, I'm unsure how the judge could be "deligitimized" when the Brazilian Supreme Court panel unanimously upheld the decision of Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

It very much doesn't seem to be a matter of "freedom" in any regard.Under Elon Musk, Twitter has approved 83% of censorship requests by authoritarian governments

Which is weird that he wouldn't respond to lawful requests from Brazilian authorities considering he's been happy to censor the hell out of his platform in response to request from authoritarian regimes, defending his actions publicly by acknowledging that complying with local laws is indeed the cost of doing business in various countries.
Just weird that he prioritizes those considerably smaller authoritarian governments laws to comply with and not the laws of one of the country that is one of the largest group of users on his platform.
Must be a day ending in "Y".... Matt Tiabbi and his onlyfans are trying to do free PR for Elom.
Also laughing at his vanity of trying to hide his baldness. Basically Tim Pool but with a bigger vocabulary.
