[Twitter] Europe gives Elon Musk 24 hours to respond about Israel-Hamas war misinformation and violence on X, formerly Twitter (www.cnbc.com)

With Twitter moderation teams demolished from the Musk takeover, it is obvious to anyone watching current events that Twitter is the easiest place to spread misinformation.

I think we all knew the next major geopolitical event would have huge issues with regards to Twitter misinfo. So here it is. Let's hope Europe actually does something about it though

A number of “Teslagenial” topics have come up on the regular: Twitter drama, SpaceX drama and the like. As Elon Musk owns these companies, it is somewhat on topic. But I’ll work to make sure that the front page remains mostly Tesla based. In general, off-topic chatter is allowed as long as we don’t lose our focus on Electric Vehicles, Tesla and such subjects.

It is your sub, do what you want, but at least be honest that you are driven by EM in general and not Tesla in particular.

This story is already on many subs, you are not providing anything new here.

RealTesla from Reddit has it's traditions. Long time posters know the history and debate on this subject.

The rules listed are the historically listed rules. And this particular [Teslagenial] exception for slightly off topic (but within reason) is encouraged. Hyperfocus on one subject is not beneficial, we get topics as wide as Hydrogen Trains or airplanes, Utility scale batteries, etc. Etc.

While this is a Tesla focused community, off-topic chatter is accepted. And I do wish to provide examples of off-topic discussion to this community.

The hard rule is to ban off-topic when Tesla is no longer the #1 discussion point. Which is subjective yes but there is plenty of Tesla topics on the front page here.

Guess what?

This is not reddit, and using it a some appeal to authority is pretty fuckin weak.

I left that shit hole because of bullshit like this.

Just be honest and change the rules to allow any EM rage post you want.

I'm not going to repeat myself here. I stand by what I've already discussed.

Rules discussions are fine but I'm going to have to ask you to move this to the rules topic if you actually care about the debate. Further talks in this thread will be removed.
