Ask any parent about what would happen if people started messing with their children - and you watch their face turn colors as the old caveman wiring in the back of their brain momentarily fires up and switches off, going back to dormant.
Now imagine you have "Buy an island a small country" money.
And a satellite network.
And your own space program.
And a car company.
And you just bought the derpstate psyop machine and converted it back into a social media platform.
PS: You're one of the world's richest men, almost ~30x richer than Soros if you believe Google.

Oh, and economically martyring Musk ^ increases the odds of a Camacho re-election, and closed ears at the watercooler when the "HURRR DRUMPF IS A DICTATOR FOR GIVING ELON BACK TWITTER REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" talk starts out of the BlueAnon-believer at the gym.



Musk seems to slide more to the Right every day and he calls the left out .


Yes! And I can say I know of at least one person, a friend who is more of an "Apolitical moderate" - but loves him some Elon Musk.
He's squeaked to the right too and is off the Dem team from a policy perspective.


I think there ARE some people following him along for the ride.
Even if a lot of the "thinking left" won't vote for BigOrange, they cannot vote for Brandon.

X has been rebranded from "Twitter" for ~9 months now.  Yet way more often than not when X is mentioned in a news story, it's as "X, formerly known as Twitter".  WE KNOW WHAT THE OLD NAME IS.  WE KNOW WHAT THE NEW NAME IS.  STOP IT.

I think it's also to show that the article isn't just some random scribbling, and the X was not supposed to be replaced with the name of the actual site.

The fact that X is a terrible name is tangentially related, yes.   Musk can both choose the dumbest possible name for his child by choosing random Unicode characters, and also the dumbest possible name for his social network by choosing a single letter that's often used as a placeholder variable.

The Bills purpose is to get Elon to cut off X to Canada IMO.  Elon needs to get the word out that he will also shut off Starlink to Canada to avoid any future political harassment from their country.

"Nooo noo the freedom of speech only applies to leftie-elite policies that wine-mom Karens like, nooooo"

Gentle reminder that team-blue wasn't always hyperventilating about the need for a censorship industrial complex basically until Brandon's policy results showed up
(They suck.)

Talking about a President doing a bad job, and electing a new POTUS, is normal.
Saying we cannot doing that is a "violation of our precious norms."

Giving the executive branch powers to use a censorship industrial complex as it sees fit would also mean: If Trump wins, he gets to determine what's protected speech, right?

How would that have gone when W Bush was President? 🤔

Pressuring advertisers to drop Jon Stewart's show would have been fair, right?

Member whitehouse and fbi were deeply planted in power positions at Twitter. They lost their direct line of control.  And I mean DIRECT LINE OF CONTROL.  Twitter files proved this. It’s fact. That’s why Dems continue to lose their mind over musk buying twitter.

They lost control of the messaging and narrative. And now they push that truth is misinformation. They are pure evil.

X is funding a lawsuit filed today by Chloe Happe against her former employer, Block.

Block fired Chloe because of the political opinions she expressed on X. Chloe had two pseudonymous accounts on X, @bronzeageshawty
and the now-deprecated @samsarashawty
.  She did not reference Block or her own identity on either account before Block fired her.

But because some of the opinions she expressed in her X accounts did not conform to the prevailing political orthodoxy, Block fired her, in violation of the law.  X is supporting her suit to vindicate her rights.

Incredible to watch.
All the "tinfoil" stuff turned out to be true

Yes, they were shadowbanning. Yes, they were censoring.
Yes they pushed things they like.
Yes, a lot of it from a hard left perspective.

I thought it was an ideologically religious woke SJW San Fran values crew doing it for their wacky politics.
The things we learned from Twitter-Files.... crazy.  

They want their censorship industrial complex at 300% the size and 500% power.
If the videos of people being visited by the Government over memes are real (1984.), this is the diet coke version.


This election is a goal line stand.

Legal challenge flags may prove to be an important front in stopping this.

If Brandon and Co win, the additional "Hawaii Judge" picks will of course greenlight anything they like, and these lawsuits will be worthless

Twitter, in their system, was how a message went from nothing to headline news in two hours.

Now X is throwing beer cans and dissertations at that bullshit before it ever gets to the amplifiers, and the amplifiers are being mocked as quislings.  

It's gonna be a fun election if they don't go whole big bro and figure out a way to yank it from Musk's control beforehand.  Hell, I guess it'd be an even more fun election if they tried tho.

BRAZIL IS ON THE BRINK

I’m reporting to you from Brazil, where a dramatic series of events are underway.

At 5:52 pm Eastern Time, today, April 6, 2024, X corporation, formerly known as Twitter, announced that a Brazilian court had forced it to “block certain popular accounts in Brazil.”

Then, less than one hour later, the owner of X, @ElonMusk
announced that X would defy the court’s order, and lift all restrictions.

“As a result,” said Musk, “we will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there. But principles matter more than profit.”

At any moment, Brazil’s Supreme Court could shut off all access to X/Twitter for the people of Brazil.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Brazil is on the brink of dictatorship at the hands of a totalitarian Supreme Court Justice named Alexandre de Moraes.

President Lula da Silva is participating in the push toward totalitarianism. Since taking office, Lula has massively increased government funding of the mainstream news media, most of which are encouraging increased censorship.

What Lula and de Moraes are doing is an outrageous violation of Brazil’s constitution and the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.

At this moment, Brazil is not yet a dictatorship. It still has elections and the Brazilian people have other means at their disposal to confront authoritarianism.

But the Federal Supreme Court and the Superior Electoral Court are directly interfere in those elections through censorship.

Three days ago I published the Twitter Files for Brazil. They show that Moraes has violated the Brazilian Constitution. Moraes illegally demanded that Twitter reveal private information about Twitter users who used hashtags he considered inappropriate. He demanded access to Twitter's internal data, violating the platform's policy. He censored, on his own initiative and without any respect for due process, posts on Twitter by parliamentarians from the Brazilian Congress. And Moraes tried to turn Twitter's content moderation policies into a weapon against supporters of then-president Jair Bolsonaro.

I say this as an independent and non-partisan journalist. I'm not a fan of either Bolsonaro or Trump. My political views are very moderate. But I know censorship when I see it.

The Twitter Files also revealed that Google, Facebook, Uber, WhatsApp and Instagram betrayed the people of Brazil. If such evidence is proven, the executives of these companies behaved like cowards: they provided the Brazilian government with personal registration data and telephone numbers without a court order and, therefore, violating the law.
When Twitter refused to provide Brazilian authorities with private user information, including direct messages, the government attempted to sue Twitter's top Brazilian lawyer.

When I lived in Brazil in 1992, I was very left-wing. At the time, Lula and the PT's slogans were “Without fear of being happy”.

In recent days, I have spoken to dozens of Brazilians, including professors, journalists and respected lawyers. Everyone tells me they are shocked by what is happening. They told me that they are afraid to speak their mind and that the Lula government is complicit in creating this climate of fear.

Brazil belongs to the Brazilians. It is not my country. As such, there are limits to what I am capable of doing.

But I can say things that many Brazilians do not feel safe saying: Alexandre de Moraes is a tyrant. And the only way to deal with tyrants is to confront them. It is up to Brazil’s senators to confront the tyrant. And it is up to the people of Brazil to demand that their senators do so.
