Apparently Elon scrubbed the Maine shooter’s Twitter account, because Elon was frequently featured in his view history

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

i'm saying it is not atypical by any means for a social media platform to remove profiles of mass shooters. for as long as I can remember, every single time it happens and their social media is found, and it's subsequently removed. i know this sub is dedicated to hating Musk but you just look stupid when you spin narratives like this. People in this thread are calling for his arrest over it saying that he's hiding evidence of a crime.
Facebook does the same thing, and it doesn't hide evidence because banning someone's account doesn't remove their profile's data. It's still there for foi requests, warrants, and subpoenas. These social media companies aren't gonna host a mass shooter's profile. It's like how they banned Trump, that wasn't "hiding evidence," and it's likely if you hate Elon you were also loving that Twitter banned Trump.
Arguably analyzing such profiles would likely show that nearly all nowadays are at least in part radicalized via social media. Turns out if you rattle millions of grenades a few explode.
liking some ben shapiro tweets does not mean you are radicalized by social media lol. people will seek out things online they agree with
Have you been on social media there are a lot more radical ideas than bens.
the guy in question just liked some run of the mill conservative influencers
Both Tucker Carlson and our new speaker are radicals and that is just glancing at the list.
🙄
Carlson spoke in favor of Putin. He said white supremacy isn't a real problem. He said that Democrats are replacing white people. He said the election was stolen. Carlson called women “extremely primitive” and “basic.” “They hate weakness. They’re like dogs that way,”
This aren't just hot air they are the fantasies on which mass murder is based.
You are paraphrasing 10 years+ of a political talk show, of course some controversial shit has been said over the years. None of those things are that bad, but to a terminally online leftist I guess he's literally hitler.
Quite the stretch.
We have had multiple mass murderers cite the great replacement theory as their cause and many Republicans calling for civil war based on the election lies. People are already dead because of these conspiracy theories.
I mean whites are quickly becoming a minority in the united states, which is the basis for that theory. It's not immoral to point that out. You can't really blame the messenger if some crazies internalize it too much. Please find me where tucker carlson said you should kill minorities to stop it.
Why do you care if white people are going to be 49% of the US?
Are people not allowed to care about demographics in the modern age? Who cares about israel becoming minority jews. Who cares if china becomes majority white. Lots of people would care about those things, but for some reason Americans are not allowed to.
White is just a label applied to a changing cast of sorts of people deemed worthy. People of Polish, Irish, Italian etc descent would have been considered non-white. In some folks whether they could be considered by others as white comes down to skin tone.
If you consider more Americans as defined by culture and nationality have a darker skin tone then you might be a racist.
Yeah but in the modern world they are considered of Caucasian ethnicity, hence I stand by my comment on those countries being ethnically homogenous. You can play pretend all you want but we all know that Europeans are a lot more similar in culture than i.e. asians, africans, muslims, etc
I've read this sentence multiple times and I don't know what you are trying to say.
A massive portion of these slightly browner faces won't be immigrants at all they will be the children of immigrants. They will be Americans by culture. Isn't it nonsensical for you to conflate culture with race? A family could have spent a century in France and a century here and you define them as "Africans" based on skin tone.
It's blatantly obvious he was trying to hide the shooters connection to Republicans and Trump. Come on now.
What is evidence?! I'll just pout like a child and call the system rigged rather than look at my own wrong doing! What is this shit?! Who makes these decisions?!
can you find me any major mass shooter who had their social media profile stay around after the news broke
Here's a source for you https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-06/tech-firms-delete-mass-shooters-accounts-but-it-s-not-enough
proof that it's a common procedure to do exactly this across pretty much all social media platforms. interested to hear what sort of stupid shit you have to say back to this.
Yea! I know! All these people are sheeple! All hail Trump! Ammirite?
wtf are you talking about, did you respond to the wrong comment?
