As X’s owner and most followed user, Elon Musk has increasingly used the social media platform as a microphone to amplify his political views and, lately, those of right-wing figures he’s aligned with. There are few modern parallels to his antics, but then again there are few modern parallels to Elon Musk himself.
…most followed user,
Abusing site admin powers to force accounts to follow you really shouldn’t count.
Tom from Myspace has entered the chat.
He’s a Russian shill, of course it does.
there’s one very simple way to avoid all this
Twitter has been taken over by the saddest billionaire on earth.
Are you a bad enough dude to delete your account and go literally anywhere else?
I need to start using “are you a bad enough dude” more in casual conversation.
Wait, what about the President? I thought he was kidnapped by ninjas.
Simple indeed, but getting people to actually stop using that trash heap website has proven to be very difficult.
I am very tired of Twitter users doing nothing but complaining about site changes and Musk yet they still just sit there… doing nothing about it. You’d think it’d be easy to rip the bandage off when it’s covered in fascist propaganda but apparently not.
Views Disinformation
Overseas — where most X users live — he’s feuded with top officials in Australia, Brazil, the European Union and the U.K. over the balance between free speech and the spread of harmful misinformation. And he accused a political party in his native South Africa of “openly pushing for genocide of white people.”
Overseas, where most X users live.
Ah. So, kind of how “facebook = ‘the internet’” to a large swath of people in other countries.
Well. That’s bad.
genocide of white people
Are they saying that a white supremacist is pushing the right-wing? Shocker.
Is Soros in the room with us now?
Yea, when two or more gather in Soro’s name, so shall he be there.
Looks like someone didn’t get his cheque from Soros like the rest of us lefties.
The funny thing it’s even a check is needed…
Literacy hard. You will get there.

Yeah, because demographic decline is totally a threat to a planet of eight thousand million apes. Sure thing.
Except that he doesn’t really give a flying fuck about freedom of speech. Censorship is fine in his book as long as it is not targeted towards his own agenda. Enberg got it right.
“Is veering”? Nah. He’s already out of that territory for years.
Hanlon’s Razor + network effect explain it.
