If only they learned from every other abuse of power Elon has made on his platform...
It's freedom of speech for Elon - everyone else has to tow the line, or hope to god he never notices them.
They didn't see the previous cases as abuses of power, because he was always hurting people they already didn't like, or in the very least he was hurting people they didn't care about.
The popcorn is rich.
Even known Donald Trump mushroom rubber and psychopath, Laura Loomer, is getting unverified.
The infighting is coming in way faster and pettier than I imagined. This is fun to watch
That's funnier. Much, much funnier.
Hopefully they're just speedrunning the whole "rise and fall of fascism" thing... Seems ahead of schedule.
I suppose, in a way, it's kind of refreshing to see conservatives have to face the kind of hypocrisy that we leftists see every day out of the supposed liberals in this country, but objectively, did they really think putting billionaires in charge of their party would mean less exploitation of the immigration and visa process? It's easier to rob people of their labor when they live in uncertainty after all.
Musk wasn't giving out millions of dollars out of the goodness of his heart. It was an investment, just like people who pay the "speaking fees" of prominent Democrats. They're all grifters.
Shocked to see the populist {% party.name %} campaign on reducing immigration then immediately use immigration to undermine {% party.country %} workers.
This leftist sees SO MUCH more hypocrisy coming from the conservatives. Why specify liberals?
Some people confuse Neoliberalism for Liberalism and then shit all over liberals because of it.
Is this the new status quo from America's "most free" social media plattorm?
You haven't been listening, have ya?
BUT HE SAID HE WAS A FREE SPEECH ABSOLUTIST THAT ONE TIME!
He also said bullet-proof, full auto self-driving, artificial general intelligence, Hyperloop, novel tunneling techniques, $25K Tesla, real robot, cave-diving pedo guy.
I'm starting to think that this guy spews more shit than an asshole.
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
Looks like @ConservativesOG just found out that the law does not protect them.
"How can I be in the out-group now? I helped you ostracize my neighbors!"
Just imagine when they inevitably merge with Truth Social.
They'll be all like, "I did Nazi that coming!"
Twitter is xelon's personal toy, how did you not know that?
The platform is only free to say whatever you want as long as it fits their narrative.
is this the new status quo?
Yea but It's not new.
lmao if that's true he blundered this one so hard. either he doubles down and doesn't reinstate premium, causing people to get annoyed at him and potentially leave. or he does reinstate it and has essentially lost control over his platform.
seems like the former so far, his last tweets are full of responses just talking about this.
It seems like he's demonitizing accounts who aren't even tweeting him directly, just talking about him. It doesn't matter what he does at this point, he's just identified himself as attacking Trump stans. They won't trust him again.
He will back down, though. Not only does he have the same crippling need to be loved as Trump does, but these lamprays srr probably generating a significant fraction of Twitter's revenue these days.
Lololol "how could they ever eat my face‽”
Also Mr. Free speech and Xhitter is the public square, lol such BS.
"Free speech, as long as I like it."
The free speech Musk believes in is his ironclad right to speak. To him, contradiction is not speech, and he seems baffled whenever it happens, like he's just been slapped with a fish.
Musk isn’t confused at all. He’s been lying about believing in free speech this whole time. He’s an oligarch—literally the richest person in the world—who bought 𝕏itter in order to control speech.
I’m not that old (I’m not that young either) but I can’t remember a time when a party controlled both the executive and legislative branches and didn’t descend into incompetent infighting.
I thought this time would be different but this gives me hope.
Obama's first two years were OK, though he kind of dropped the ball by not passing more shit.
Yeah, the way they kept this coalition together was by telling the business community that their more extreme stuff on abortion and immigration was just stuff they told the rubes to get their votes. Now they're in a position that both constituents expect them to deliver, and there's a lot of conflict there. Draining the swamp is the opposite of creating an entirely new agency that's all swamp, and while the business community pretends they want more border enforcement, a lot of immigration policies are explicitly designed to create an entire class of workers that's perpetually in a precarious position so they can undermine unionisation efforts (H1B1 visas being a perfect example of that).
That's the thing about these monsters, they eat their own.
