No offense to Pak protector, BUT y'all deadheads are non-sensical brain dead sheep. I.E. perfect robotic dumb asses that think inside instead of outside the proverbial box. Exactly the opposite of what you portend to be. The original woke people.

I've been calling Elon a cunt for years. If he speeds up my Twitter appeal it may win him some favor with me.

If I'm being honest, it's not great to have one of the world's richest humans have control of what will be an "unregulated" social media company once private.

Do we have reason to believe he'll be any more honest than the publicly traded version of Twitter - or will we just see it tweek media traffic in favor of a different narrative?

Twitter becoming super woke and burying stories that didn't fit their ideals wasn't great. If it swings the other way that isn't any better. Censorship is bad - and now instead of a government (or at least their honks) hiding the truth, we may have Musk doing the same.

I do love the "I'm deleting my Twitter" talk, which I'm assuming they are posting from Canada since all the crybabies moved there in 2016.

I look for the US gov't to attempt to maintain some control over the platform.

This thread is about Elon Musk. Not sure what the fuck you're on about.
I was responding to a direct quote posted from Bidens White House about the need to limit the spread damaging information on social media sites.

I’d support musk if I were you. If we have to stop mis dis and mal information on this site you’re the first one banned.

If he genuinely goes open source as he’s said he will do then it’ll be a great thing.

I don't like Elon. In fact I even think he's a cunt. But I can't see how him owning Twitter is a bad thing...

It's already super restricted, I've literally been pinked for 3 -4 years from there just for calling a lady a cunt. jason73 @jason73 is pinked from there as well. In its current form they want you to follow a particular narrative and if you deviate from it you get got. I don't know what Elon has planned for it but it can't get worse.

To your point, the censorship can't get much worse. I'm in favor of the change, but I still approach it with caution.

He who controls the microphone controls the message. - Hauler @Hauler , probably.

Elon Musk purchased TWITTER. This site is called TMMAC.

I know the NY State education system didn't provide you with much of a foundation but di try to keep up.

How much does it cost to be a part of Twitter? Nothing. Twitter earns revenue through advertisements. Advertisers don't want their
advertisers associated with tweets of Song2 calling someone a cunt. They don't want their advertisements on tweets from Donald Trump trying to undermine democracy.

So Elon has put himself between a rock and a hard place. If he doesn't continue to ban hate and misinformation (such as that which Song2 and Trump used to spew), then advertisers will pull out, and Twitter's revenues will go down.

If he does ban such misinformation, then he will lose the right-wing fanboys that he has acquired over the last few years

-------

I don't have a Twitter, so either way ...

lol. maybe it was true. but it was also hateful

how does it feel for that cunt to live rent-free in your head? did your hateful comment make you feel better or are you still hurting inside?

advertisers dont want to be associated with hate

It did make me feel better actually. I was reading the bollocks she was spouting and wanted to let her know what I thought of it.

Nancy Pelosi's campaign emailed me yesterday asking for a donation. I flagged that email address as Spam and responded with:

"Nancy is a corrupt scumbag. Fuck off."

Says the guy who didn’t read the originally quoted post that started this whole shit stream.

Which referenced the government censoring social media sites. You know like this one.

I know you’re from Florida but try and keep up lady fingers.
