Comment on Elon Musk demands another huge payday from Tesla
ShindangAp 3 months agoRight, he isn't entirely consistent.
But it is also not the case that he is bringing back literal Nazis - last I checked Jared Taylor was not reinstated, Andrew Anglin is nowhere to be seen, and Kanye West was banned after his remarks. I think the list goes on- every once in a while you do see the Nazis complaining about this because, of course, it isn't hard to stay on that platform... Which si also why it's silly he didn't bring Jared Taylor back on - he was not removed because he said any slurs or was obscene, but was simply removed by Dorsey and the gang because he is an open "race realist."
Of course, I was flabbergasted when I saw that they would treat "from the river to the sea" as a call to genocide on X, and I really felt like he completely dropped the ball there. Nonetheless, it was a general improvement, though it is not what I would have envisioned.

(Besides just the fact that it’s not true. There are plenty of alternate reality stories where the Nazis won; they just don’t like those because they’re still the bad guys.

Just in case you needed evidence of alt-right racism on Twitter, here’s some from today.

That's just funny - the Simpsons riffed on that for the longest time and nobody batted an eye.
It's satire meant to make people chuckle about it... and it's old satire, because everyone knows that the Indian immigrant now is far more likely to be your cardiologist or running the entire IT department than working at 7/11.
... and everyone knows the babylon Bee is not alt right, lol.

OH yeah, there's stuff like that on there now, which i agree should be allowed on platforms. I believe in free speech. This stuff is not persuasive - it's not detrimental to anybody that it exists.
My point is that major figures on the far right are still banned. It's hypocritical of Musk to some degree, especially in the case of Taylor, but this is also the sort of thing that you should be kind of satisfied with, isn't it? Yes, he allows no name accounts to post stuff like that, but the people who actually have a following are off.
