Maybe that was what some of his MAGA fanboys thought Twitter was going to become. Specifically a platform where you could spout as much bile as you like without any consequences. The backlash to Musk "limiting free speech" wasn't from the lefty wokes but the Trumpist MAGAs.
It was wat the left was shouting after Musk took over, that it is the MAGA fanboys now complaining is something else, as a side note the Magaboys seem to have moved to Thruth social and Parler without coming to twitter to recruit others, lefty's still trying to get people to masodont(with limited succes, especially compared to twitter, Parler and the other thing.
Total BS. The files show that Biden has a deeply troubled son who has issues with a lot of things including substance abuse. Twitter were walking a fine line and the revelations show that it was probably justified in banning some of the more outlandish Biden laptop conspiracy theories.
What about the parts that show the shady business deals he makes or tries to make amongst other with the then Oligarch of the Ukraine power company, similar with companies in China ect. all very clearly to get some personal gain out of it? All this while flexing his ties with his Father and Obama. If Trumps son was caught with the same during that period all the us newspapers except for fox and the like maybe would be all over it. and righly so.
The conclusion it's only about his ''deeply troubled son'' implies you haven't read a letter of it. They wanted it banned because the laptop and the infirmation on it was publiced legally, Bidens son left it at that shop and didn't pay or collect it so it became the shop ownership, otherwise they would have very simple been able to get it banned in the basis of it being stolen information.
Meh, suppressing elections?! Unlike, say, the Trumpists who Musk supports who tried a wholesale insurrection of the election. Suppressing election is utter nonsense.
First off Musk doesn't support Trump, he thinks democrats and republicans are both eqaully bad, they why he was calling to vote republicans last elections to get an more ''centrist'' government. When Trump was just in power he had some very public outburst with Trump as you might remember.
You known you can call both Trumps attempts to overturn the election ''susspessing elections'' and whatever the democrats do too, or only one off them, either way, what Trump does and whether or not you call it suppression elections has nothing to do with this discussion, this is about the democrats.
And if thy have a direct line with twitter, which is much more democrats biased then it is republican according to that research quoted, and they say things like ''first amended isn't absolute'' and that results in a story effectually being artificially held back from results then that it a form of suppression elections.
Especially in the context of the US where a story like this would have had an bigger impact then it would have in Europe.
I had admired Musk. He took an industry full of big players and massive self-interest in the status quo and turned it on its head.
i don't admire him more than anyone else, i just don't like an certain bias against an person if it is unjustified.
Would it have happened anyway? Possibly, but a lot slower and with a lot of rear-guard lobbying from the established players for more watered down legislation. When they had Tesla competing with them - and winning - they had to up their game rather than try to rig the playing field.
We known at least for a bit the original CHervolet Volt was pulled by Gm, not because it sold badly, but because it sold so well, they didn't want electric cars to become popular.
Without sounding like a Musk fanboy, he did awesome thing for space too, creating an rocket that lands back, and giving nasa an new impulse after cuts by the obama administration left them quite dull.
But the rot started for me with the Thai rescue tweets and the clearly BS tweets on Musk taking Tesla private. It has simply spiraled from there and shows a man who doesn't have anyone that is prepared to say "that is a stupid idea" to him. It is such a shame - he was changing things and if he had someone reigning in his excessive hype then Tesla would be in a far better position than now.
Agree on the thai rescue thing, in the end of the day by wonder those kids got out, no need to salty insult one of the rescueers, just because he didn't believe in Musk's made capsules.
i don't think i disagree much with your Musk analysis although i don't think it necessary bad to get Tesla of the Market, it's more about how it funded it and then put himself in the same situation as the reasons he pilled Tesla of the market while buying twitter.
