This is wild. This is just a short list of prominent journalists suspended from Twitter for the “crime” of being critical of Mu$k. They didn’t promote violence, misinformation, or any form of hate. They simply were critical of his policies. And for their simple criticism—they got suspended.

This is your so-called free speech champion who will save humanity. 🙄

Stop trusting billionaires. Start taxing them.

I'm thinking Elon may be just a little bit too emotionally attached to his jet.

@QasimRashid I believe there had also been talk of Elon’s private plane tracking (public info). He changed the tos a couple days ago. Some of these folks shared the news of that account arriving on mastodon. He got mad and had his Tesla engineers and h1-b indentured servants spin up a “fix”, and now here we are...

@Snwdrft @QasimRashid Did they all share links to elonjet? I know some did. Hard to believe that cnn and nyt reporters were, though.

@robwilmil3 @QasimRashid no, that’s fair. Some linked to coverage about it (even LAPD screenshots re: his son being followed) and got suspended anyway. The man is bonkers narcissist.

@QasimRashid given that hate amd violence seems like the content direction of Musk's TWITer, maybe these journalists are getting band because they won't promote them.

@QasimRashid no it not because the writing was on the wall, many said to leave for the beginning. It past time for people who care about others to just leave twitter now, go to a different platform and rebuild your voice now and not wait and start playing catch-up .

@QasimRashid My impression is that #MuskmElon's plan is to weaponize Twitter and get a tax break in the process. Unless he's actually breaking the law, chances are he'll pull it off.

@QasimRashid He reminds me of villains that think they are making a better world but in their own twisted image, and where no cost outweighs the benefits of the final grand world. He has too much power, wealth and ego to stay within boundaries of an accepted social behaviour.
Show threadaggualaqisaaqDec 16, 2022
@QasimRashid no single human being contributes a mid-sized country’s worth of value to the economy and none should be compensated as such. That someone like Musk—the epitome of a mediocre white dude—has accumulated so much unmerited wealth and, by extension, so much power is a sign of just how broken the system is.
Billionaires absolutely must be taxed out of existence.
