@micahflee
Makes total sense. Given that they gets a pardon on monday. right?

edit: missed the right pronoun. (sorry)

Techronic9876 Nov 25, 2022

@mwfc @micahflee seems strange. Maybe it’s an attempt to goose metrics when they unban everyone? Like “yeah we unbanned all these neo nazis and white supremacists but also all these antifa”

…might work for coffee…Nov 25, 2022

@Techronic9876 @micahflee

I am curious whether we find out. I would not be suprised to have a blanket reinstate to save work. Or a selective process where they unsuspend certain accounts for certain reasons.

Curious how it is documented internally.

JyrkiKuoppala Nov 26, 2022

@Techronic9876 @mwfc @micahflee Is there any indication the unban would be for Musk era bans? I don't think that would make sense, I have assumed the unban would be only for pre-Musk bans.

@micahflee Watching him to take personal requests kind of sucks!

@micahflee

It's probably a good idea for the Biden Administration to cancel all contracts with Musk-owned entities on ethical grounds, post haste.

Party Sam Nov 26, 2022

@noyes:

Canceling contracts with SpaceX would pose a problem. This company might be considered essential to national security and simply going for the worse options (currently Falcon 9 is the best option in the market) might be 2-3 times more expensive and over-budget.

I wonder what will become to SpaceX in case if Elon continues spiralling into this unstable, manipulable state he's in now.

J.H.Noyes Nov 26, 2022

@partysam He's being really erratic. He's most likely engaging in behaviors that would escalate this legal status to something like 'unregistered foreign agent'. He's openly restructuring Twitter into something that a fair court system--not saying we have one--would recognize as an artifice erected to circumvent campaign finance and foreign participation laws. It's very troubling, especially given the lack of moral fidelity, clarity, and character endemic to modern American politicians.

@micahflee that is #freespeech on elons hellsite

Stefanie Janine Stölting Nov 25, 2022

@micahflee I'm really not surprised at all. I got blocked for posting a meme to a #fcknz to follow his leader.
And that's been some years ago.
The shit posted by that fascist is still online and has never been blocked.
The only #freespech that big baby likes is rightwing 💩: Lies, hatred, and people eating his 💩

@micahflee @thepoliticalcat Death by erosion it is, then.

Brian Dear Nov 26, 2022

@micahflee Elon strikes me as someone as easily pliable as Trump. Bad actors notice that like Trump, here’s another pathologically narcissistic, gullible billionaire with unresolved daddy issues. They see in Musk someone who can be used to further their goals. Musk, who golly gee is only trying to unite the R and L in a utopian Center, plays along with these crazos while completely oblivious to their manipulation. He’s become a useful idiot to the far right. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

@micahflee

He also gets so much adoration for it, and clearly affects him. If criticism is seemingly coming from one side and adoration from the other...

@micahflee anarchists doing what they do, making billionaires paranoid!

@micahflee well, saw this coming a mile away. A shame. They do good work.

Anna Nov 26, 2022

@micahflee I honestly didn’t think culture jammers still existed. The system has made it so hard to exist without falling in line. Kinda like they’re being forced out by Twitter. #old

@micahflee the more i learn about this guy the more i don't care for him!

Drooling Fan Girl Nov 26, 2022

@micahflee I kind of want to start following him around singing or playing Kelis’s Milkshake when possible

Jess Nov 26, 2022

@micahflee Elon is an ambulatory trash fire. The best treatment is ignoring him.

Player1 Nov 26, 2022

@micahflee nice write-up but the most obvious thing someone thinks after reading it is “Where the hell was the outrage BEFORE Elon bought it?”. Nothing that is happening is new.

@micahflee billionaires always side with fascism.

@VelvetAlex @micahflee Not really, Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, is a good example.

@matsh @micahflee That doesn't disprove that the majority of them aren't good people. Look at Nazi Germany.

@VelvetAlex @micahflee You just wrote that billionaires ALWAYS sides with fascism. I gave a good example of how that is not correct. 🤷

@matsh @micahflee How much of hill billions has he given away? Also, wouldn't you be more comfortable on 4Chan or Reddit. You don't seem like Mastodon type.

@VelvetAlex @micahflee Not siding with fascism isn't the same as giving away billions, right?

But I am curious about your claim that I would probably fit better at 4chan. Could you elaborate? I don't understand! 🤷

@VelvetAlex @micahflee Is it something in my profile text that better fits at 4chan? I have this exact text on both Mastodon and Twitter:

"Dad. Ex programmer. Feminist. Left liberal. Bike in mountains as often as I can. Dream of Pamir, Tibesti, Caucasus, Andes..."

@VelvetAlex @micahflee Mastodon types don't correct people in a friendly way?

@VelvetAlex @micahflee According to Wikipedia, his wealth is around 3 billion, of which he seems to have set aside about 1 billion to charity. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Dorsey

Jack Dorsey - Wikipedia

@matsh @micahflee Let me amend my initial statement to "many" billionaires align with fascism in the end. To protect their wealth. And please kindly leave me alone.

Tom Nov 26, 2022

@micahflee: I assume #Musk tries to manoeuvre us towards some new phase of “#Noocracy,” or “rule by the wise” — where Musk is “the wise"....

Matthias Nov 26, 2022

@micahflee "Democracy dies in darkness".
One of the strategies for that is to silence the opposition.
Is this supported by #ElonMusk accidentally?

Elon Musk's days as a petty dictator are numbered.

NapelsGeel Nov 26, 2022

@micahflee getting banned is probably an achievement, as Musk‘s #Twitter take over looks more and more like a right-wing usurpation of a liberal international news platform. Twitter getting uglier by the day.

Yugoboy Nov 26, 2022

@micahflee Elon Musk is the one troll with money and power and any e remaining in his loop who's not his lackey will get trolled or worse.
Everyone not in full agreement that Musk is awesome and the sun rises and sets on his greatness should leave Twitter and avoid Tesla, and root for a divestment of SpaceX.
He sucks.

William Carmichael Nov 26, 2022

@micahflee Time for everyone to deactivate their account over there.

Kevin Thomas ✅Nov 26, 2022

@micahflee it is news like this that reminds me how fortunate I am to be here with you all away from all that.

Squidcap Nov 26, 2022

@micahflee Andy Ngo also caused Chad Loder to be banned. Andy seems to be whispering in Elon's ear.

Morgan Ziva 🧜‍♀️🔮💘Nov 26, 2022

@micahflee what a good time. I cant wait to get purged for supporting Antifa!

Zoll Nov 26, 2022

@micahflee Good. They were calling for violence constantly. We're better than that and better than Trump supporters and we don't need to do that kind of stuff.
