Society/Culture Elon Musk - Takeover of Twitter?

[Chief]

Succinctly put Elon:

Where is that article about "12 falsehoods Elon believed... today"?

Rabbiting on about something you saw on Sky News is not citizen journalism.

 

[rank and file]

2024 and beyond,Elon is the new kingmaker.
Got the platform.
US newspapers were a meek non endorsement.

"you are the media now", wow. Very Qanon type messaging.

Dude's had more plastic surgery than your average transgender person and he couldn't manage a tummy tuck?

That gender affirming hair transplant is starting to look a bit 5th day at the SCG.

Some of this is mental

Did he really leave a game early and make them change the algo? Hilarious in a very sad way if true

Not particularly worried about his donations, it's not like Kamala didn't get donations from billionaires to push their agendas. They all do this. Good for the goose on that part...

He cant get a government job overseeing regulations and efficiency while receiving or applying for government subsidies/contracts. I really hope this is somehow blocked

Meh. Most social media is far left (SRP, Reddit for example) so I don't mind seeing some opposition.

SRP was telling me Biden cognitive state was fine

Reddit's most upvoted comment when Biden stood down was commending his selflessness. bro got knifed / derailed his entire party

Weird claim for a “centrist” to claim
SRP is far left.

why do you think far-right, incel bullshit is the answer?

"burp n-no i didn't eat the mainstream media" elon was quoted saying shortly after this image was taken

social media is unfortunately demonstrably far right leaning. make a new account and most of the algorithms will shove far right stuff right into your face.

This is terribly incorrect mate.
All of the ones that apply censorship, facebook, reddit, and youtube in partricular are all left leaning.
Tiktok seems to be in the middle
X seems to be on the right simply because people are allowed to speak more freely, its the only mainstream social media the right can use

hilariously incorrect, but living the lie makes it easier. enjoy it!

Not being far left doesnt mean its right wing!

Why do you suppose right wing content is constantly censored

Do you think that it's because a lot of right wing content is questionable in terms of its accuracy?

didn't say you were mate, just said you're living a lie

i recall reading a statement/old article from pre musk ownership of twitter & they'd claimed that they couldn't automate banning nazis because a lot of the rhetoric used was aligned with what republican members of government would post.

Im not sure if you misinterpreted me or not here, but there is a lot of heavily exaggerated or incorrect info from both sides.

Its pretty clearly not about accuracy of information lol

The issue with the "both sides" argument here is the implication that it is equally prevalent on both sides.

Even take in sample election denying.

There are some of the left that are questioning the results of the 2024 election right now on Twitter. They are well within their right to do that. However you will likely find (I hope anyway) that once it is clear there is little evidence to support this claim, they will move on with their lives and cope with Trump for 4 years.

Compare that to how the right questioned the results of 2020, the false accusations made against Dominion, the 60 odd failed court cases and the ensuing chaos that led to an attempted coup of the US Government on January 6 2021.

These are not equal things, and to lump it in as "well both sides are doing it" is incredibly disingenuous.

I dunno what dragging out some complaint has to do with the left vs right in terms of censorship or controlling social media.
The right had a little bit more of a narrative to work with in 2020(not saying it was right or wrong, they had a story that was coherent and at least had enough to arouse suspicion), the left have literally nothing aside from Trump telling a heavy red state that "i dont need your votes"(lol) to backup their claim so itll go away pretty quick.

The left have been claiming Trump is taking rights away from women/gays and banning abortions for ages now, the fact people still genuinely believe this is proof enough that the left doesnt get corrected or censored. Its just blatant lies

Just because you disagree with it doesnt mean it didnt make any sense
They used some facts and filled the gaps with assumptions(some reasonable, some not) that we dont have proof of either way.
